question is whether the Games will deliver a | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
Good evening. There's anger tonight over proposals to move the Suffolk | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
Police control room to Norfolk. Dozens of jobs could be lost as part | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
of a cost`cutting exercise. Staff were told of the plans at special | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
briefings today. Jenny Kirk has more. | :00:26. | :00:33. | |
Thanks. At the moment this is just a recommendation and no decision has | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
been made but it is causing concern as around 70 jobs could be lost if | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
it goes ahead. If they can prove to me, categorically, there will be no | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
compromise on this, and it is all properlily costed, then I will auto' | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
have a serious look at T but I'm not going to do it, if it is going to be | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
a Is rock. You can't afford, in an emergency service like police, to | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
have any doubt whatsoever in the public's mind that the service will | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
be compromised if the control room moved to Norfolk or anywhere else | :00:55. | :01:05. | |
for that matter . But something does need to be done. In the latest round | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
of cuts imposed on police forces over the next four years, Suffolk | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
needs to save more than ?16 million and Norfolk more than ?20 million | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
but combining the control rooms will save less than ?2 million. This is | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
what people in Ipswich had to say. It's not good. I think it should be | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
more local. Control rooms have been centralised and people have ended up | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
in a different county to the one they were intending to be in simply | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
because there are two places with the same name. #24e probably don't | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
know some of the idiosyncrasies. Is If it goes ahead, it'll mean all | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
three emergency services for Suffolk are despatched from outside the | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
county. The ambulance control room is in Norfolk. The fire is in | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
Cambridgeshire. The Chief Constables of Norfolk and Suffolk will formally | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
propose the idea to the Police and Crime Commissioners on Thursday. So | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
we'll know more then. Thank you very much. Mark Trask from the union, | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
Unison, is the Suffolk Police branch secretary. He joins me now. What are | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
your concerns about these proposals? Well, it is a very sad day here in | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
Suffolk, Susie. More than 120 of our dedicated police staff, with all | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
their years of experience, have been told today that their future may not | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
be here in Suffolk. But they do have to save ?16 million, as we heard. | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
Tough decisions are going to have to be made, aren't they? Sure they do | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
and many tough decisions have been made. We have been supportive of | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
working with collaboration and finding savings where we can but | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
this is a step too far. This is unprecedented. No other police force | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
in the UK has done this. You see how the cuts have reached the | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
Environment Agency. You know, I watch your programme and I see | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
almost every night you are talking about the Ambulance Service and how | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
they have reacted to the cuts and the centralised call centre. | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
Obviously you are concerned about job losses, but do you believe that | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
there actually would be an impact in the service the public gets if this | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
goes ahead? Absolutely. I'm worried about my members. I'm worried about | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
their livelihood and the impact on the community but they are also, | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
they are expressing their concern, their serious concern, about the | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
risk to the public and the lack of local knowledge. They are frontline. | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
They are the people who answer 999 calls and they are the people who | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
get the police to you when you need them. You need local knowledge. Many | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
of them won't go to Norfolk and we won't retain that knowledge. | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
A man has appeared at Chelmsford Crown Court charged with the murder | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
of his ex`partner. Leanne Meecham, who was 26, died last week, nine | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
days after being stabbed at her home in Westcliffe`on`Sea. Simon Meecham | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
has been remanded in custody. He'll appear in court again in April. | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
The widow of Simon Hall, the convicted murderer found dead in his | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
prison cell yesterday, has told the BBC she plans to write a book about | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
his story. He was found guilty of killing pensioner Joan Albert at her | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
home in Capel St Mary in 2003. He consistently protested his | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
innocence, before finally admitting his guilt last year. Stephanie Hall | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
says she spoke to her husband at Wayland prison in Norfolk the day | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
before he died. An inquest has recorded a verdict of | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
accidental death after a man died in an industrial accident in Norfolk. | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
Kevin Alderton, who was 34, was crushed by farm machinery in | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
Seething more than a year ago. Paramedics were called but he died | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
at the scene. The Education Minister, Liz Truss, | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
is in Shanghai talking to officials about new ways to teach maths. | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
Shanghai and Singapore are at the top of the international league | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
tables, while England is in 26th place. We've been to an independent | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
school in Ipswich which made its own decision to teach maths the | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
Singapore way. Get your whiteboards out. At St Joe testify's College | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
Prep School in Ipswich they've used the Singapore method to teach maths | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
for the past three years. `` St Joe testify's. The system is so | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
effective these ten`year`olds are doing secondary school equations. In | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
the past the curriculum was wide but not deep. They would spend a week | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
doing one topic and another week doing another topic. They didn't | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
goad the depth they needed to understand and make the links that | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
are important for learning. Today this year 5 class are working on | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
this problem. This is how you traditionally work it out, using a | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
series of equations. The Singapore method is different. Children use | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
this bar shape to represent the sum and add, subtract or divide it, as a | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
way of creating the answer, talking it through as they G Using the bar | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
method has taken them that extra step because they are able it | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
visualise the problem. Singapore adopted the bar methods in the | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
1980s, the country's children are world beaters in maths. St Joe | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
testify's say it has driven up attainment, year 6 pupils all attain | :05:54. | :06:01. | |
attaining the results in their SATs. This school starts in reception. | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
They are already learning the building blocks. With ministers | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
already in the Far East, this school believes they have already found the | :06:11. | :06:11. | |
answer. Now, all this week on Look East, we | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
are looking at how people here were affected by World War I. Tomorrow we | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
are finding out how the region's shoe`making industry helped the war | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
effort. You can see our stories online at bbc.co.uk/w w 1. And your | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
BBC local radio stations a more stories at 8. 15pm every morning. | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
Now the weather. During the rest of tonight a be band | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
of rain pushing eastwards, some on the heavy side. The cloud, the rain | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
and the fact that the wind is going to pick up to a moderate to fresh | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
south`westerly, means temperatures shouldn't drop lower than 6 to 8. A | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
frost`free night. Tomorrow the last of the rain should clear. By the | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
rush`hour, everywhere should be largely dry with brightness and | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
sunshine and a few scattered showers. Temperatures at best around | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
10 or 11, taking us into the low 50s Fahrenheit with a keen, fresh, | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
south`westerly. We finish the day with a lot of fine, dry weather with | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
a few showers here and there. Certainly not for everybody. In a | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
moment Susan will have the national forecast but I'll leave you with the | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
outlook. Coming up on Wednesday, a largely fine and dry day with a few | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
isolated showers and then a band of rain moving eastwards during | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
Thursday with brighter rain moving eastwards during | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
will be more rain overnight into Thursday. | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
Good evening. We have a spell of wet and windy weather working across the | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
British Isles. Today brought many of us some decent spells of sunshine | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
and it brought us some decent temperatures. In fact, our warmest | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
day of the year so far. At the moment, though, things have | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
changed. This is the gap in the satellite picture. Now, this curl of | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
cloud looks like a snail's shell, it is an area of low pressure that is | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
sweeping wind and rain across us. It's pushed into the west already | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
and is now making rapid progress eastwards, moving into eastern | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
England through the small hours Strong, gusty winds around the Irish | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
Sea coasts. The weather front will weaken as it gets into eastern | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
areas. Behind the weather front things are a good deal clearer and | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
that is the way we will start tomorrow. Our wet and windy weather, | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
the worst of it is out of the way as we look at Tuesday. | :08:38. | :08:38. |
