Hello and welcome to Look East as we begin a week's worth of programmes | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
looking at the impact World War One had in this region. And we're | :00:15. | :00:28. | |
starting in the trenches. This is a film set on the outskirts of | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
Ipswich. And these trenches have been used in countless dramas ` | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
everything from The Last Tommy to Downton Abbey. Our theme is World | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
War One at Home. All that's coming up after the news from your part of | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
the region. Hello and welcome to Look East and | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
the news from Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk. In the programme tonight: | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
Could Suffolk Police lose its control room as the force looks to | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
share costs with Norfolk? Making maths add up. The Ipswich | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
school doing it the Singapore way. And Snodgrass helps City sink Spurs | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
as Norwich climb four points clear of the relegation zone. | :01:00. | :01:17. | |
Our top story tonight: Proposals to move the Suffolk Police control room | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
to Norfolk have been condemned by trade unions. Dozens of jobs would | :01:22. | :01:29. | |
go as part of a larger cost`cutting exercise. Staff were told of the | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
plans at special briefings today. But tonight both forces stressed a | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
final decision has yet to be made. It's a move that would save millions | :01:35. | :02:09. | |
of pounds but at what cost? To get rid of the Suffolk Police control | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
room and route all calls to Norfolk instead ` both forces think it's a | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
bold move. It'll go before both Police and Crime Commissioners this | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
week. Suffolk's PCC remains to be convinced. Our team will look at it. | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
Look at the different scenarios. If it's not workable, we won't do it. | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
I'm not hot on the idea... Not cold either. We have to make savings but | :02:28. | :02:42. | |
control rooms can be sensitive. It's not like a call centre. We're | :02:43. | :02:54. | |
talking about people's lives. Norfolk and Suffolk Police say it's | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
one of 15 cash saving ideas. It's certainly the most controversial. | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
People in Suffolk are wary. It's not good. It should be local. They've | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
been centralised and people have ended up in the room place! They | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
won't know certain things about the area. The union says such a move | :03:12. | :03:22. | |
would impact on 120 jobs in Suffolk. There are hundreds of years of | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
experience ` people who know Suffolk... They would be | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
transferring that out to another county. This hasn't been done | :03:33. | :03:40. | |
anywhere else in England. Police briefed the media hours after the | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
plans were revealed by the East Anglian Daily Times. Police insist a | :03:44. | :03:53. | |
merger would not compromise safety, but have a sound business case to | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
make it work. But the PCCs will have the final say. | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
The widow of Simon Hall ` the convicted Ipswich murderer, found | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
dead in his prison cell yesterday ` has told Look East she believes she | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
now has all the answers as to why he committed his crime. Stephanie Hall | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
says she spoke to her husband at Wayland prison in Norfolk on | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
Saturday before he was found by prison staff early yesterday | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
morning. This is the prison where Simon Hall's life came to an end. A | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
prison statement said he was found unresponsive in his cell on Sunday | :04:23. | :04:33. | |
morning. His window was too distressed to go on camera, but she | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
told Look East... 12 years ago, Simon Hall murdered Joan Albert. | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
Police believed it was a burglary gone wrong. A local man, he was | :04:45. | :04:57. | |
convicted in 2003. But for ten years he protested his innocence. There | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
was a high profile campaign to free Simon Hall. The BBC broadcast a | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
rough justice programme which cast doubt on his conviction. Not knowing | :05:03. | :05:10. | |
when I'm going home... It keeps me awake. But last year he finally | :05:11. | :05:22. | |
admitted his guilt. The detective who led the investigation said his | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
thoughts were with the family of Joan Albert. We always told them we | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
thought he was responsible. We didn't pluck him out of the sky. We | :05:31. | :05:40. | |
followed evidence. It led to him. They stuck with us. Finally we've | :05:41. | :05:49. | |
been vindicated. Stephanie Hall told me today her husband had been in a | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
"bad place". She now plans to write a book about him. According to the | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
prison service, the Independent Prisons and Probation Ombudsman will | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
now conduct an investigation into Simon Hall's death. | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
The Education Minister Liz Truss has been in Shanghai today, talking to | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
officials about new ways to teach maths. Shanghai and Singapore are at | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
the top of the international league tables while England is in 26th | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
place. We'll have more on her visit tomorrow. Tonight the school in | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
Ipswich is teaching maths the Singapore way. At St Joseph's | :06:17. | :06:25. | |
College in Ipswich, they've used the Singapore method to teach maths for | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
the past three years. It works by getting children to visualise and | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
discuss sums. It's so effective, these ten`year`olds are already | :06:34. | :06:46. | |
doing secondary school equations. In the past the curriculum was wide but | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
not very deep. They would spend a week doing one topic then a week | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
doing another. They didn't get the depth they needed. Today the class | :07:00. | :07:12. | |
are working on this problem. This is how you traditionally do it, using | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
equations. The Singapore method is different. Children use a bar shape | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
to represent the sum then add, subtract or divide. They talk about | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
it as they go through. Using this method has taken them further. They | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
visualise the problem. Singapore adopted the method in the 1980s and | :07:30. | :07:39. | |
now they are world`beaters at maths. This school say it's driven up | :07:40. | :07:52. | |
attainment. I can see it in my head. When you have the questions, it's | :07:53. | :08:03. | |
easier. We work together. We write it down and see which one will be | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
right. They teach this from reception. Ministers in China are | :08:09. | :08:22. | |
looking at what we can learn. This school believes it's already found | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
the answer. In football, there were plenty of | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
nerves at Carrow Road last night as Norwich City held on to an unlikely | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
1`0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur. The win moves the Canaries up to | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
14th in the Premier League, four points clear of the relegation zone. | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
We're seconds away... Victory for Norwich City! You could almost feel | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
the pressure lift from the Norwich camp after one of their finest | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
victories of the season. In a weekend that saw many other results | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
go their way, Chris Hughton's men held up their own end of the bargain | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
to move four points clear of the drop zone and take their place on | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
the front and back pages of today's papers. In terms of the performance | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
and result, the way they went about it... It was their best performance | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
of the season. It's been a season short of genuine highs but Sunday | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
was definitely one of them. While few column inches were required for | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
the first half, after just two minutes of the second period hard | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
work from Ricky van Wolfswinkel led to a chance for Robert Snodgrass. | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
The Scot obliged with finesse. It could have been more convincing ` | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
the Canaries tried placement and then power with a couple of | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
free`kicks but neither could make the net bulge. And if you thought it | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
was a one`sided affair, you'd be wrong. Norwich's England | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
international proved how much of a team performance the win was. The | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
save was fantastic. It could easily have gone straight between his legs. | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
I suppose that's the little bit of luck... If things are really going | :09:48. | :09:56. | |
badly for you that drifts in. Commanding. I think he's got a nice, | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
settled back four in front of him now. The finger waving and the heavy | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
breathing will be back next Sunday, when Norwich try to build on their | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
victory. They have a trip to Aston Villa. The clubs are level on | :10:11. | :10:21. | |
points. There will be plenty more headlines written on the Canaries | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
again this season ` Norwich fans will be hoping to see more like | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
today's in the near future. And you can see what happened when | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
David Whitely joined the doctors on tonight's Inside Out at 7.30pm. | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
You'll also be able to see the latest pictures from under the North | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
Sea, of Europe's longest chalk reef. Now it's time to go back to Stewart | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
who's on a World War One film set on the outskirts of Ipswich. | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
Welcome back to the Trench Farm film set in Suffolk. We're here to mark | :10:52. | :11:08. | |
100 years since the War. There is a periscope here. Water in a petrol | :11:09. | :11:22. | |
can... Corned beef! Bullets as well, for the rifles. It was very cold | :11:23. | :11:32. | |
down here. They would spend virtually the whole day here. But | :11:33. | :11:46. | |
there was a new kind of warfare. And a new word too. The Zeppelin. On a | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
foggy night in January 1915, people in Great Yarmouth were transfixed by | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
an eerie noise above. A terrifying, new style of attack was about to be | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
unleashed by aerial invaders. People would stupidly come out of their | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
houses and say 'look, it's the Zeppelin!' All of those people would | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
be standing in their doorways when they threw the bombs out of the side | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
of the gondola. Three bomb were released, doing little damage, but | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
then a fourth one exploded, killing two people ` Martha Taylor and | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
Samuel Smith. Gladys and Katherine were young girls at the time. `` | :12:18. | :12:25. | |
Kathleen. The window was coming in. My mother was thrown onto the couch. | :12:26. | :12:33. | |
Mr Smith was killed. Ms Taylor too. They were killed, yes. This plaque | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
marks the spot of the first aerial bombardment on Britain. They may not | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
have done much physical damage but the Zeppelins were very effective | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
weapons of terror. Local press called them aerial babykillers, sent | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
over by blood`mad fiends. At a high altitude, the Zeppelins were safely | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
out of range but British pilots soon had shells which could bring down | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
the giant airships. In Autumn 1916, L33 was shot down in Essex. The | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
German crew scrambled free and were soon made to surrender. This man saw | :13:10. | :13:18. | |
it all. They passed the gate. There was a Special Constable who met them | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
in the next village. He took them in hand. In St. Peter's Church in | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
Suffolk, another souvenir of another downed Zeppelin ` L48. This woman | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
helped maintain the memories of those who witnessed the event and | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
the 16 Germans who perished. It burnt up quickly. There was just the | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
skeleton left. People for miles around saw it burning. Lots of | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
souvenir hunters! I think they tried to keep a lot of that away. The | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
local militia sorted it out, to keep people away! In four long years, as | :13:59. | :14:07. | |
a weapon of war the Zeppelin had failed, but as a weapon of terror it | :14:08. | :14:21. | |
made a lasting, local impression. I told you this was a film set. It's | :14:22. | :14:33. | |
a big place! Earlier today, when the sun was up, I looked at the other | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
parts. As you can see, they've got everything here for the modern film | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
set, looking back at the First World War ` about 200 metres of trenches. | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
This is what it would have been like in the early years, with water in | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
the bottom. Some of the soldiers got something called 'trench foot', | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
caused by standing in damp water. They'd been here for about ten | :14:55. | :15:05. | |
years. This is one of the trenches. Where we are tonight... You can see | :15:06. | :15:18. | |
people getting ready. You will have seen these in shows like Downtown | :15:19. | :15:26. | |
Abbey and many other programmes. There's everything here but it shows | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
you what life was like for the soldiers working in the trenches day | :15:31. | :15:49. | |
in, day out. These trenches are the brainchild of | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
one man ` Taff Gillingham. An expert on World War One. You're an expert. | :15:53. | :16:02. | |
How long did they spend here? They were all ages. People who were too | :16:03. | :16:12. | |
old as well as young lads. It depended on where you were. In some | :16:13. | :16:21. | |
places, only for a day. In other areas... Maybe a week or ten days. | :16:22. | :16:35. | |
It depended on the situation. In the other trench it was wet! The | :16:36. | :16:45. | |
soldiers were suffering? Trench foot was a real problem. They were | :16:46. | :16:54. | |
waterlogged. There were problems with drainage. They found a way to | :16:55. | :17:08. | |
fight nature. They also, about trench foot, made it the officer's | :17:09. | :17:17. | |
problem! This is very much a built trench. Some felt dug, in contrast. | :17:18. | :17:30. | |
Yes. They were built in different ways. German ones were built for | :17:31. | :17:46. | |
permanence. To the Allies, it was temporary. Thank you for having us. | :17:47. | :18:02. | |
It's been fascinating! Away from the trenches we're going | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
to be looking at how life changed for ordinary people during the First | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
World War. Tonight we're going to set the scene. What did the East | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
look like 100 years ago? This report is from our chief reporter Kim | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
Riley. In the picture files he doesn't have a name ` billed as a | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
typical Norfolk labourer. The year is 1912. He was one of over 200,000 | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
farm workers across the region. At the Gressenhall farm and workhouse, | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
they've turned back the clock to those tough times. Male life | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
expectancy was 52 and wages for farm workers were around ?50 a year. Work | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
was seasonal and employment was casual. For some it was a life of | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
grinding poverty and eventually the stigma of becoming an inmate at the | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
local workhouse. The years of childhood were brief. Going to | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
school had only been made compulsory in the 1880s. There could be up to | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
60 children in a class. This is a typical classroom of the time. It | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
was compulsory for children to go to school up to the age of 12, but | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
there were many ten`year`olds who actually had jobs. It was very | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
unusual for many children to go on to secondary school. Few homes had | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
electricity and many had no piped water or fixed bath. Even going | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
through the motions of doing the laundry... Lighting a fire to heat | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
the water, using a washing dolly to agitate the clothes... Putting them | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
through a mangle and pegging on the line... It's a world away from | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
today's wash and spin cycles. In 1911, the world was just beginning | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
to become really petrol`fuelled. It's true cars were becoming common | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
in London, but in eastern England the bicycle held sway. With 4% of | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
the population owning 90% of the wealth, only 7% of people paid | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
income tax. Protestors from this region joined the suffragettes ` | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
militants burned down the Bath Hotel in Felixstowe in April 1914. | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
Professor Jane Chapman, research associate at Wolfson College in | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
Cambridge, says there was still a clearly defined class structure. | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
Domestic service was the main employment for women but so much was | :20:01. | :20:07. | |
about to change. The First World War has a tremendous legacy. It really | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
was a turning point. Legacies we don't think about... Not just women, | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
but the beginning of the modern world ` the 21st century as we know | :20:15. | :20:22. | |
and understand it now. `` 20th. Women played a vital role in the war | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
effort. Children, too. Here they are, lining up to help out on the | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
land. Patriotism, and a belief the war would soon be won, brought men | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
rushing to join our county regiments. But for many, the reality | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
was terrible losses amidst the horror of life in the trenches. | :20:41. | :20:54. | |
Major Dave Walker is a soldier with Seven Para RHA. He's served in both | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
Iraq and Afghanistan. Trench warfare ` it's traditional. How much | :20:59. | :21:05. | |
relevance is there now? You'd be surprised. An awful lot has changed | :21:06. | :21:21. | |
but the human experience... You could transplant a soldier from 1916 | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
and it's not that different. Trenches are still used in training. | :21:26. | :21:36. | |
It's not something we've experienced in Afghanistan. But in 2003, in | :21:37. | :21:57. | |
Iraq, I was sat in a bunker. I saw Marines stood in trenches. I think | :21:58. | :22:20. | |
the effects are the same. Knowing the lifeline is there, with friends | :22:21. | :22:31. | |
at home is a good coping mechanism. The opposite side is that that can | :22:32. | :22:40. | |
bring anxieties of its own. Technology has improved, and | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
improved those links. Afghanistan has good infrastructure. My soldiers | :22:48. | :22:55. | |
still discovered the art of letter writing. The big difference is they | :22:56. | :23:07. | |
virtually knew the people they were fighting. You rarely get up close | :23:08. | :23:19. | |
and personal. Rarely. But you are in and among the people. The proximity | :23:20. | :23:28. | |
is there, in a different context. Thank you. And tomorrow on Look East | :23:29. | :23:42. | |
we'll be reporting on how the shoemaking industry of | :23:43. | :23:44. | |
Northamptonshire rallied to help. That's World War One At Home, | :23:45. | :23:47. | |
tomorrow night on Look East. And there are many more stories | :23:48. | :23:49. | |
online.And tomorrow on Look Time for the weather now. Over to | :23:50. | :24:05. | |
Julie, back in the studio. Temperatures have been impressive. | :24:06. | :24:17. | |
We got into double figures. Most of us started with unbroken sunshine. | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
Thicker cloud spread in from the west. Heavier bursts eventually. | :24:24. | :24:33. | |
This band is now heading in our direction. Some outbreaks of rain to | :24:34. | :24:45. | |
come later. Some of this could be on the heavy side. The winds will pick | :24:46. | :24:52. | |
up too. Perhaps touching strong at times. It is going to be a mild | :24:53. | :25:02. | |
night. Tomorrow, the front pulls away. That takes the rain with it. | :25:03. | :25:14. | |
The bulk of the day should be fine and dry. It's going to be blustery. | :25:15. | :25:28. | |
Temperatures not as high as today. Some of us will get into double | :25:29. | :25:37. | |
figures. We finish with a scattering of showers. For most of us it will | :25:38. | :25:51. | |
be a dry end to the day. On Wednesday, showers few and far | :25:52. | :25:58. | |
between. On Thursday, a new weather front coming in. Brighter | :25:59. | :26:08. | |
eventually. Friday will see another scattering of showers. Some chillier | :26:09. | :26:17. | |
nights to come. Maybe even some frost. We'll keep you posted. Thank | :26:18. | :26:32. | |
you. Lots of stories on the website. | :26:33. | :26:45. | |

door, but those who were missing in action. 72,194 who couldn't be | :27:08. | :27:14. | |
found. Goodnight. | :27:15. | :27:21. |
