Welcome to the programme. Fhrst tonight, the man from Suffolk

charged with hacking the colputers of the American central bank, the

Federal Reserve and stealing personal information. We sed

prosecutors here being very harsh towards people who vandalisd

government websites and verx relaxed about people who steal monex.

Brand`new ambulances brought in to respond to emergencies in country

areas. The largest plane in the world in

the biggest aircraft carrier in Britain.

And the young people who went to war and never came back.

First, the man charged with hacking the computers of the Americ`n

Central bank, the Federal rdserve and stealing personal inforlation.

Lauri Love who is 28 and lives in Stradishall near Bury St.Edlunds is

now facing a fight to avoid extradition. He has already been

accused of hacking computers at the CIA, NASA, the FBI and the TS

military. The authorities in America claim in this latest incident

information from more than 000, 00 people was stolen. The cost of

dealing with the fallout is put at more than three million dollars

This case has revealed a sh`dy underground Computerworld, ` in

which it is alleged Laurie were `` Laurie Love knows well. It lay be

low risk as far as the government is concerned that the data is really

interesting because he took all of these files that told them names and

addresses and military ID ntmbers of thousands of members of the

military. In its own, that hs interesting but what can yot do with

it? You can pretend to be a member of the US military and now xou can

do something more sinister. This is the area where Mr Love was from The

family said they had no comlent to make. Laurie Love was arrested in

the UK in October and later charged with breaching security at critical

government sites in America. In Manhattan, it emerged he is accused

of hacking the US Federal Rdserve and stealing personal inforlation.

It is time police and prosecuted `` `` prosecutors were more re`listic.

They get very excited about people who vandalise government websites.

This is a well trodden battle ground. This man was cleared of

phone hacking and this man was charged. Online petitions h`ve been

set up backing Laurie Love `nd today his solicitor on the left hdre who

has handled similar cases s`id: I think this guy was doing ht

because he didn't like the establishment and this is hhs way of

taking direct action. It is to create a nuclear apocalypse. The

offences face a 12 month jahl term. Police in Essex are examining CCTV

from a North Sea ferry to try to find out if two men jumped overboard

near Felixstowe. A major se`rch was launched on Wednesday shortly after

the Stena Britannica had left port in Harwich. But police say ht's

difficult to establish exactly what happened and whether or not the

incident was genuine. At Felixstowe, volunteers are

keeping watch in case any trace of the tee`macro passengers washes up.

Betide could take them further out and in which case we will ndver see

them. They could watch out hn the other side of the North Sea.

Anything is possible. Keith got a birds eye view of Wednesdaysearch.

Massive Sea King helicopter searching. A couple of talks from

the port, a police lifeboat. `` Gray tugs. Behind me is the port of

Felixstowe and coming in is a huge container ship. It is using the same

channel as this demo `` Stena Britannica Ferry. If you ard going

to jump from a vessel, it is at this point that you would be tempted to

do so, thinking you might m`ke it to shore. CCTV doesn't confirm

precisely what happened. Dutch police questioned other people of

the group on their return to Holland. It has underlined the need

for good `` for vigilance. Ht is a major destination and the border

force are permanently activd and vigilant. Whether or not thdy

actually jumped, the tee`macro passengers asked to missing.

The East of England Ambulance Service has introduced the first of

120 new ambulances. They will be stationed across the region. It

means that some stations will get additional cover. It's part of a

major programme to improve performance. Mike has been `

paramedic 18 years and todax he is at the Rand new wheel of thhs

ambulance. `` he is at the wheel of this brand`new ambulance. They are

providing many extra ambulances I have set out key priorities. We have

changed the way we resource the rural areas and have changed our

deployment plan. We want to ensure we have an ambulance in the right

place at the right time. Anthony Marsh wants fewer fast cars and more

paramedic ambulances. Mike showed me round the new arrival. Everxthing

you see is brand`new. You h`ve your cardiac monitor, the laptop that

were used for patient records, suction unit, ventilator. How is

morale? We have seen a real lift in morale. It has been poor and some of

the bashing we have had has been justified. We feel we are ghving a

better service and morale is on the way up. David is training to be a

medical technician, part of a major initiative to raise skills. We were

told it was the best time to join because the only way is up. That has

been the case. Is it a job xou love? 's yes, every day is

different. Doctor Marsh has been visiting control rooms and was here

earlier in the week. He says turning preservice around is going to take

time but talking to front lhne staff and listening is a key to stccess.

Nature's most spectacular lhght show The Northern Lights was on display

here in the region last nighta nd experts described it as the best in

20 years. You normally have to be near the Arctic Circle to sde it and

it brought astronomers and photographers out in their droves.

Back out with his camera thhs afternoon, photographer Bri`n

returns to the exact spot where he captured the Northern lights. He

took these spectacular imagds. Flashes of colour illuminathng the

sky. We always want to see them anterior was in North Norfolk. It is

a place I love for my favourite fuse. I knew I would want to compare

to photograph. Lots of you captured some unforgettable photos. These

stunning images were sent in by viewers lucky enough to see the

lights. What causes this red display? Stargazing Mark Thompson

finds his evenings analysing the sky. We call it solar wind. It is

electrically charged particles rushing away from the sun. They

calls the atoms in the gas atmosphere to glow and give off

light like a neon chimp. If there is a lot of this material, it can

further down filtered towards the equator and nearer to us. This

footage shows the aurora from space. It is normally seen from the

North Pole from Iceland so how likely are we to see it agahn across

Norfolk? We are still in thhs active period of the solar cycle. Laybe

next winter there is an approved chance of seeing the aurora. In

three years time, the sun should go into a quiet period again and it

should be 11 `` seven or eight years to see more activity. Don't worry if

you missed it last night, you get `` you might get another chancd before

the end of winter. The former singer with the band

N`Dubz has been charged with assault. It follows an incident

outside a nightclub in Chellsford. 26`year`old Dappy whose real name is

Costadinos Contostavlos, was arrested outside Chicago's darly

yesterday morning. He will `ppear before magistrates next month.

The boxer Anthony Ogogo frol Lowestoft is back in the ring this

weekend. His first fight of 201 will be in Glasgow against Greg

O'Neill who is unbeaten as ` professional. Ogogo will st`rt as

favourite. Still to come, the man becoling a

big name in the world of ultimate fighting.

And our world War I week coles to a close and night it is the story of

creche and's School in Norfolk where 100 boys were killed. Now I wonder

if you know what this is? It's more than 90 metres long and

one of the owners is the rock star Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden and

it can fly for three weeks without refuelling.

It's called the Long Endurance Multi`Intelligence Vehicle `nd today

it was unveiled at Cardington in Bedfordshire. It's the longdst

aircraft in the world and it's due to fly later this year. The BBC s

transport correspondent Richard Wescott reports.

Inside Britain's biggest aircraft hangar, something is growing.

Beating into life, the world's longest flying machine. Looks like

an airship but it isn't bec`use it doesn't float.

What you can see from here hs that unique shape. It is designed more

like a wing than a traditional airship so it can generate lift

Airships float away and you need 50 people to stand there holding ropes

when they land. With this, xou can land it with no one around. How else

would a rock star arrive? Bruce Dickinson is helping to fund the

project. He is an airline phlot businessman and this also.

I want to get in this thing and fly it Pole to Pole in stock we will fly

it over the world's greatest cities and show the whole world live on the

Internet exactly how beautiful this planet is. We don't need to go into

outer space to do that. The US Army bought it a few years ago btt budget

cuts mean the developers have now bought it back. It will be `ble to

carry 50 tonnes using a third of the fuel of a cargo plane and c`n stay

in the air for three weeks `t a time. You can get hundreds of people

on board. The view is brillhant you can get plenty of people on board.

This hangar oozes history and the ghosts of airship past. The

ill`fated model was consumed by fire after it was built many years ago.

It might not be pretty. You decide what this looks like. The fhrst UK

flight is planned for later this year.

The UK Independence Party h`s changed the political landscape on

many of our local councils. Last year they won 48 seats and they re

talking about doing even better in the elections coming up in Lay.

So spirits are high at their Spring Conference in Torquay. Becatse

despite predictions that success would be short lived there hs no

sign support is waning. Torpuay is a long way from Essex but that hasn't

stopped many UKIP councillors to celebrate a year of success. Why is

it happening now? They say ht is because the public has had dnough of

the main political parties. There has never been a time beford when

the public and the ruling elite so far apart. What are the main parties

operate `` offering their pdople? Absolutely nothing. The membership

of the party has more than doubled, we aim to deliver what Nigel Farage

has caused `` has called on earthquake in British polithcs. UKIP

is gaining many supporters. They had a significant presence on m`ny

county councils and now a ndw analysis of local by`election

results in this region over the last five months has found that while the

number of votes cast for thd main parties is down, subvert `` are

bought for UKIP is down. `` is up 17%. The main parties still won most

of the season when you conshder that UKIP polls more than 20% in opinion

polls in this region, higher than anywhere else in the countrx, it is

clear this is now a party to be taken seriously. The other parties

to believe UKIP's success whll be short lived and they say none of its

policies are achievable. It is a successful pressure group btt not a

credible political party. The way to leave the EU is to get a referendum

from the Conservative Party. This is a party with very few poliches but

it seems at the moment most voters don't seem to mind. And on the

Sunday Politics this weekend, does UKIP have any policies? We'll hear

both sides of the argument. And World War One and the controversial

issue of conscientious objectors. That's 11 o'clock, BBC One on

Sunday. In football that are some ilportant

games. Marriage are away to Aston Villa.

Think of some martial arts, karate, tae kwon do.

But there is only one which combines them all. It's called Ultim`te

Fighting and we have one a rising star in this region.

Luke Barnatt comes from Essdx but lives and trains in Cambridge. He's

unbeaten and preparing for ` big fight at the O2 Arena. Our Sports

Editor Jonathan Park reports. This is Luke's last training session

before the biggest fight of his career. I will be fighting next week

and when I walk out, I have many fans cheering. He is building up

quite a reputation in the ultimate fighting championship. Fists, feet,

knees, anything goes. So far so good. Seven fights and no ddfeats.

It is one of the most demanding sports out there and contains a

relevance of many Olympic sorts `` sports. Some say it is the tltimate

test of stamina, power and lental strength. He has become an `mazing

athlete. Lots of skills that you have to learn and he has fast

tracked through them all. Not everyone can do that. To its fans,

it is mixed martial arts but it has its fair share of detractors. I have

to train four hours a day shx times a week. I am dedicated with my

diet. My life is 100% dedic`tion. It is not two folks getting into a cage

and fighting, it is two athletes in their best shape competing to win.

We are doing jujitsu. I am looking to get my opponent by trapphng his

arm, his head and isolating him in a part of his body to make hil tapped

out. His opponent is from Sweden and will have his hands full. Hd is in a

hurry to make a real name for himself.

All this week on Look East, we've been looking at how the First World

War affected people in this region. Tonight the story of one school

Gresham's in Norfolk. More than 100 former students lost their lives in

the war. The scale of the losses had a

profound effect on the school and its headmaster. Mike Liggins is

there now. I am in the chapel at the school.

Building work on this chapel started in 1912 and when war broke out and

the pupils at Gresham began to die, it became clear this building would

be a memorial to them. Here are the 20 names of the young man who went

to war and never came back. Three quarters of them were under the age

of 24. Gresham's lost 103 boys in the First

World War. It was shattering to the people who had known them wdll. ``

23 boys. Central to that story is the headmaster of the time, George

Howson. He was the charismatic leader, the one that everybody

wanted to be with. For him particularly, the war was utterly

shattering. George had a favourite. His name was Alec Heron. Thhs

photograph was taken in 1910 when he was head of house and school. He

went on to Oxford and then hnto the Kings Royal rifle Corps. In March

1915, he was killed in action. He was 21. His commanding officer wrote

to his father. He was leading his men most gallantly and were shot

quite close to the German trenches. Nobody knew what this war w`s going

to be like. I think the day that he received the news that he h`d died

was a very black day. A year nine history lesson `t

Gresham's. Charlie Shepherd is in the lesson. Every year, the school

visits the World War I battlefield. His namesake, Charlie Shephdrd was

killed in action at the age of 0. These boys were in the same

situation as we now. They wdnt to war and never came back. If you

would like to look the photograph albums. Today they maintain a world

`` they maintain a World War I archive. He had a special sdrvice of

intercessions and at that sdrvice, the list of the forum was rdad. I

think to hear that week aftdr week and to see that list getting

longer, it was that renewed sense of disaster and grief. George Howson

died weeks after the Armisthce. After losing 103 of his brightest

and best, it has been said he died of a broken heart. In 1921 the names

of the fallen were carved into the chapel stalls here. Someone thought

it appropriate that the namds of George Harrison and his protege

Alec Heron, should sit side`by`side. Now for the weather.

After a miserable day, therd was quite a pleasant weekend. It is

still raining across many of the southern counties. There was a

glimmer of sunshine this afternoon. It wasn't bad everywhere. For many

of us, it will rain on and off through this evening and ovdrnight.

That front is lingering for Sussex and six. Elsewhere, it is l`rgely

dry. If you go further west, there could be a few fog patches.

Temperatures close to freezhng. Further east, hovering at fhve

Celsius. We start tomorrow puite chilly and the temperatures won t

really recover much through the day. It does look mainly dry across a lot

of the region. There's quitd a bit of cloud around although a better

chance of something bright `cross the rest `` West. Temperatures are

around six Celsius. For the rest of the day, it does look as if it dries

out. The showers will clear out into the North Sea and we are left with a

dry afternoon. The prospect of more rain coming in on Saturday `lthough

it should clear on Sunday. This is our pressure pattern as we get into

Sunday. Here is our next we`ther system which will bring us some

rain. The wind will freshen as it moves through. Expect a largely

cloudy day on Sunday and temperatures slightly higher. Rabies

moving through by the end of Sunday. `` rain is moving through. That is

it from us but before we go, let us return to Gresham School in Norfolk.

Today is the end of our week of special reports on Look East about

the first world war and how it affected this region. We end the

programme tonight with the choir from Gresham's singing For the
