and Thursday. That's | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Hello and welcome to Look E`st. In the programme tonight. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Rising numbers of forced marriages in this region. With a new law about | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
to come into force, we speak to one of the victims. | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
Banning super`strength alcohol. After success in Ipswich, now | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
Lowestoft joins in. Another demoralising defeat for | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
Norwich City, as the pressure builds on Hughton ` again. | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
And the First World War ..from the point of view of those who refused | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
to fight. First tonight, new figures show that | :00:30. | :00:44. | |
the number of forced marriages in this region is rising, whild the | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
figures for the rest of country are levelling off. Believe it or not, | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
forcing someone to marry soleone they don't want to, will only become | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
a criminal offence next month. At the moment it's only a civil offence | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
` meaning the police don't get involved. So how does it happen and | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
what can others do to help? Mariam Issimdar has been talking to one of | :01:05. | :01:14. | |
the victims. They allowed themselves to be | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
influenced by the community instead of listening to their own d`ughter. | :01:18. | :01:25. | |
At 17, Parveen's parents trhed to force her to marry a man shd didn't | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
know and didnt love. It was that very moment I looked at my lother | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
and made her promise me when we met the groom she wouldn't leavd me | :01:37. | :01:49. | |
Before I knew it I was in a room strangers, asking me questions, | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
trying to touch me inappropriately. Parveen decided she couldn't go | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
through with the marriage. But that meant quitting her job, leaving East | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
Anglia where she'd lived all her life, and going into hiding. I went | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
to the police and said I'd be reported missing. Please don't look | :02:07. | :02:16. | |
at me. I got myself a job, with somewhere to stay and that was it. | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
Bal Howard investigates forced marriage cases and so called honour | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
crimes for Suffolk Police. Ht is becoming more prevalent and I think | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
we are scrapping the top of the iceberg. We have 50 cases a year of | :02:34. | :02:42. | |
so`called honour abuse, 50% of them forced marriages. I would s`y 3 % of | :02:43. | :02:55. | |
them are under the age of 18. In 2012 there are almost 1500 cases | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
investigated, but last year the regional figure rose to 45. Don t | :03:01. | :03:08. | |
think it is a problem with people in a distant country. That is happening | :03:09. | :03:20. | |
to people in the UK. That is why a charity has come to this school | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
Civic has had a number of forced marriage coming through. `` so She | :03:26. | :03:44. | |
is still in hiding. I don't feel I have lost much, but I've gahned so | :03:45. | :03:53. | |
much more. I now have a lifd. They don't know where I live. Thdy don't | :03:54. | :04:03. | |
know if I am with anyone. I am surviving and I'm loving thd light. | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
Aneeta Prem is the founder of the Freedom Charity, which is b`sed in | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
Norwich and campaigns against forced marriage. Forced and arrangdd. There | :04:14. | :04:24. | |
is a difference? Yes. It dodsn't always mean you're being dr`gged | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
onto a plane. It is mental. Arranged marriages where you have thd options | :04:31. | :04:38. | |
to say no. Why other number of forced marriages going up hdre, when | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
the levelling off in the cotntry? As we have been based here, ond of the | :04:45. | :04:51. | |
things that has happened is raising awareness. More schools are talking | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
about it. This has always bden there. People have been too | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
politically correct to bring this up. Now we are saying that when we | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
talk about young people, forced marriage is child abuse. It can lead | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
to rape and murder. There whll be some people who will say thhs is | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
part of our heritage. There isn t any religion which says you should | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
allow your son or daughter to be raped, married against their will, | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
taking their human rights away. We know local people want to stpport | :05:31. | :05:42. | |
our work. We heard a 1300 c`ses were reported last year. How manx cases | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
do you think there are everx week? I think you could be looking `t 1 ,000 | :05:49. | :05:58. | |
cases a year. Maybe from 14 to 5. The youngest has been two, the all | :05:59. | :06:08. | |
this has the 87 years old. We have a 24 hour helpline. People ard using | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
different methods of communhcating. We work closely with forced marriage | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
unit. If you live close to ` family who you think may have forcdd | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
someone into a marriage, can you knock on their door? Phone the | :06:26. | :06:34. | |
police. You don't sit and w`tch it happen. Often it is a brothdr, not a | :06:35. | :06:45. | |
parent. That is what is so shocking. It is a younger generation, the male | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
members, who take on this b`rbaric crime. Coming after school holidays, | :06:52. | :06:59. | |
that is when it is happening, because the girl thinks she is going | :07:00. | :07:09. | |
on holiday? Yes. Thank you. A woman has appeared in court | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
charged with causing death by careless driving, after a blind | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
pedestrian was hit by a car in Lowestoft. 28`year`old Samantha | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
Pitcher, who lives in Lowestoft denies the charge. Kevin Burch was | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
at Ipswich Crown Court. The court heard today how D`vid | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
White had been crossing the road arm in arm with Pauline when thdy were | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
struck. It was before 9pm on February 18. Blind, he didn't have | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
his guide dog and had his whfe by his side. His injuries provdd fatal. | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
She now uses a walking framd because of the injuries. The car drhver was | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
a man for picture and her trial began. The prosecution told the | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
jury, this is a psych case, involving the tragic loss of life, a | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
case which but a young woman in the dark `` sad case. He said there was | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
a hazard which the driver should have seen. If she had been driving | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
carefully she would have. P`uline White said she could remembdr | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
little, and said they had crossed at that spot many times. They had been | :08:18. | :08:25. | |
with a family meal with thehr son. He told the court they had crossed | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
moments before their parents were hit. The jury heard the defdndant | :08:32. | :08:40. | |
had seen one person at the last minute, adding I didn't see them. | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
The jury was told she been travelling at around the 30 mph | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
limit, and while her phone was seized, there was no evidence it had | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
been used at the time of thd crash. The defendant was distressed | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
throughout today's hearing. She denies the charge. The trial is | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
expected to last of the thrde days. 18 months ago, Ipswich becale the | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
first town in Britain to cr`ck down on the sale of super strength beers | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
and ciders. This was the idda. If you could persuade shops to remove | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
cheap, strong booze from thd shelves, you could also remove a | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
fair amount of anti`social behaviour as well. The authorities sax it is | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
working, and today the schele was extended to Lowestoft. | :09:24. | :09:32. | |
This is the first independent retailer in Lowestoft to sign up to | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
the scheme and remove cheap alcohol, but he is not convinced. I had to | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
support the community for a couple of months. I don't know whether I | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
will lose the business. I don't think I will gain anything. The road | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
show came to town. This is the place to try it out. It is a venttre | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
between the council and polhce. A third of off`licences have been | :10:01. | :10:10. | |
involved. It is something wd are working to do. Not trying to make | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
sure that the Hall of Lowestoft will sign up to get rid of this problem. | :10:16. | :10:23. | |
Super`strength is lager of ` percentage of 4.5 or more. Some cans | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
contain 9%, and even higher. Unable to find jobs, Jason and John drink | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
on the street and say the c`mpaign won't stop them. They will love | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
elsewhere. All you have to do is go round out of the town and round the | :10:42. | :10:49. | |
corner. It won't work, becatse people go somewhere else. 18 months | :10:50. | :10:58. | |
after the scheme was launchdd, police say drink related anti`social | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
behaviour is down by more than a fifth. All agree it cannot recognise | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
the association. Groups are closely involved. These people have problems | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
which have been ongoing for years and it is very much about t`king an | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
Balti agency approach and sympathetic approach, by addressing | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
those needs. There are thosd who will drink on the street, btt those | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
behind the scheme say a simple idea is going some way to solve ` complex | :11:26. | :11:33. | |
problem. A man who died in a crash in Essex | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
this weekend has been named. He was 20`year`old Kailen Spreadbury from | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
Chelmsford. He died at the scene, after the Ford Fiesta he was in | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
collided with a Vectra on the A 1`14 near Great Baddow. | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
At what age do you think yot should have to re`apply for your driving | :11:49. | :11:50. | |
licence? At the moment the government makes you reapplx at 70. | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
But there are suggestions that as we live longer it should go up to 0. | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
Jackie McCord's daughter was killed by an elderly driver in Colchester. | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
She successfully campaigned for a change in the law, to allow the | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
police to stop somebody driving if they believe it is necessarx. But | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
she is worried about what could happen now. | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
Jackie McCord with a preciots photo of her daughter Cassie. She finds it | :12:11. | :12:17. | |
difficult to describe her loss. If you lose a member of your f`mily you | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
missed them every day. You never get over it. This CCTV taken in | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
Colchester Town Centre 2011 shows the momet Cassie death. Cassie was | :12:28. | :12:36. | |
further up the street walking to college. She was his moments later. | :12:37. | :12:44. | |
The car was driven by a man in his 80s. Jackie went to Westminster to | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
help campaign for Cassie's law, which would allow police to seize | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
the licence of drivers. It has taken hundreds of potentially dangerous | :12:56. | :13:03. | |
drivers off the roads. According to the RSC, there are now 4 million | :13:04. | :13:05. | |
drivers aged 70 or over, and that means the driver and vehicld is | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
agency has to deal with mord and more renewal applications. @ | :13:12. | :13:18. | |
Department for Transport review of the DLA has suggested raising the | :13:19. | :13:26. | |
age of drivers, from 70 to 80. The car has an MOT every year, while of | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
the driver. They have to st`rt looking at things they can do to | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
make sure when people are rdapplying that they are fairly assessdd. After | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
campaigning, Jackie McCord fears raising the age would make the roads | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
more dangerous. A spokesman said no decisions have been made. | :13:49. | :14:01. | |
Still to come. Another heavx defeat for Norwich City. A different take | :14:02. | :14:09. | |
on the First World War. We speak to the relatives of one man who refused | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
to fight. Cycling now, and 11 of the world's | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
top 14 women's teams have shgned up to the first Women's Tour of Britain | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
later this year. The details of the tour were announced today. Ht's | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
going to start at Oundle in Northamptonshire on May sevdnth and | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
finish in Bury St Edmunds four days later. Simon Newton is an bhke shop | :14:29. | :14:38. | |
in Bury now, Simon. This is one of the biggest bike | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
shops. They sell about 500 bikes every single year, and about a | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
quarter of those now go to women. Those women on the binaries leisure | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
buys, they are turning to these more sportier machines. It is grown in | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
stature. There are big races across the continent. There is a bhg race | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
in Britain. The two Britain was launched today. It will finhsh in | :15:05. | :15:15. | |
Bury Saint Edmunds. It's billed as a clash of cxcling | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
titans. The world's elite vdrsus Britain's Olympic heroines. The | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
first ever Women's Tour beghns on May seventh. Five gruelling stages. | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
100 riders. 11 pro teams. And nearly all of it in our region. Big`name | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
British riders include double Olympic champion Laura Trott. Silver | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
medalist Lizzie Armistead is also competing, as is the woman who beat | :15:38. | :15:45. | |
her to road race gold, Mari`nne Vos. Today, organisers were in | :15:46. | :15:47. | |
Northamptonshire unveiling the route of Stage One from Oundle to | :15:48. | :15:55. | |
Northampton. It'll be a hugd experience. Every get nothing out of | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
it, at least we can say we completed. We wanted to go to the | :16:00. | :16:06. | |
east Midlands because of thd good roads. It is easy to get to. We | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
organised the men's tour and wanted to create the same thing for women. | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
Stage two of the race on Max the 8th will take the peloton from Hinkley | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
to Bedford. The next day thd women ride from Felixstowe to Clacton on | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
the Essex coast. Stage Four goes from Cheshunt in Hertfordshhre to | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
Welwyn Garden City. The fin`l stage, on Sunday May 11th, starts hn | :16:27. | :16:27. | |
Harwich and ends in Bury St Edmunds. The Giro d'Italia and the Tour de | :16:28. | :16:43. | |
France now have women's events. The launch of the Women's Tour here ` | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
say organisers ` proof that the sport's appeal not only continues to | :16:47. | :16:57. | |
grow, but also spans the sexes. With me is Sarah who runs this bhke shop. | :16:58. | :17:04. | |
How big a deal is it for wolen's cycling to have those big n`mes It | :17:05. | :17:12. | |
is a big deal. It will help the image of the sport. It is great it | :17:13. | :17:19. | |
is coming to our region. For women's cycling have more popular | :17:20. | :17:29. | |
has gained in terms of women buying bikes? The Olympics helped. Women | :17:30. | :17:36. | |
are out there cycling. Several years ago it was mainly seen as a sport | :17:37. | :17:44. | |
for the older gentleman, but now there is more female specifhc kit | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
which looks better. Women are there in China is. `` enjoining it. We | :17:49. | :18:03. | |
will know where these routes will take us later on. | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
The Norwich City manager Chris Hughton is under more presstre | :18:09. | :18:10. | |
tonight, after yesterday's four`one defeat at Aston Villa. After the | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
game he admitted there had been a 'mad 15 minutes'. Norwich are now | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
15th in the Premier League `nd just four points above the releg`tion | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
zone. It started well enough for Norwich | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
when Wes Hoolahan put them hn front after just three minutes. | :18:25. | :18:31. | |
Hoolahan wanted to sign for Villa in the transfer window, but Norwich | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
wouldn't let him and the City fans were not best pleased to sed his | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
lack of celebration at the goal And then came the mad 15 minutes. | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
Christian Benteke scored a contender for goal of the season. Two minutes | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
later he scored again to make it 2`1. Chris Hughton must havd been | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
hoping for a fight back, but it went from bad to worse as Leandro Bacuna | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
finished off a brilliant cotnter attack. Sebastian Bassong scored an | :19:01. | :19:12. | |
own goal and the Canaries wdre beaten before half time. It feels | :19:13. | :19:21. | |
like a major setback, because of the manner of defeat. We came hdre with | :19:22. | :19:28. | |
intentions of continuing thd form we have been showing, and the first 25 | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
minutes showed that. We had a mad 15 minutes. The Norwich City chief | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
executive David McNally has said if Chris Hughton keeps the club out of | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
the bottom three ` he keeps his job. The Canaries play Stoke at home on | :19:44. | :19:50. | |
Saturday. Staying with football, and Late Kick | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
Off is back tonight on BBC One. And the new series has a new line up | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
too. Our own James Burridge is playing up front with Paul LcVeigh a | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
former striker with both Norwich and Luton of course. Just tell ts how it | :20:02. | :20:11. | |
will work. We are taking it day by day. We could be in the divorce | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
court later. We will see wh`t happens. James, it is a gre`t time | :20:17. | :20:24. | |
for the programme. A lot of our teams have a lot to play Evdry team | :20:25. | :20:31. | |
in the region is playing for something. Every team we ard | :20:32. | :20:40. | |
covering for the next nine weeks has something to play for. In lot to | :20:41. | :20:49. | |
talk about including safe standing? It is something Peterborough have | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
been championing. You have to look at the Hillsborough tragedy. Is it | :20:56. | :21:02. | |
saved the first or the fans? I was at a game on Saturday and 50% of the | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
Colchester fans were standing up. Because I was at the back that meant | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
I had to stand up. It depends on whether you go for the safety aspect | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
or the enjoyment. I think the has to be a happy medium. James, you are | :21:16. | :21:24. | |
the presenter and Paul will be reviewed and other guests? We will | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
have all the managers from the region. We have called Robinson | :21:29. | :21:40. | |
coming in. `` Carl Robinson. It is on at 11:20pm tonight. Bank you `` | :21:41. | :21:49. | |
thank you. Last week we heard a lot about the | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
men who served in the First World War. But what about those who | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
refused to fight ` the conscientious objectors? They were often shunned | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
by society and sent white fdathers in the post, a symbol of cowardice. | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
Have a look at these. They `re campaign medals. Percy Boddx got | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
them for his work with the Friends Ambulance Unit. But they were never | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
worn, and Percy was actuallx sent to prison for refusing to servd later | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
in the war. His family say his objection to the horrors of war was | :22:15. | :22:22. | |
a different kind of bravery. A call to arms in 19 14,000 of men | :22:23. | :22:30. | |
and listened in a wave of p`triotic fervour. This man was a pachfist. He | :22:31. | :22:40. | |
joined the friends Amber Liz unit serving in France in 1916 `` Friends | :22:41. | :22:50. | |
Ambulance Unit. He was given medals at the end of the war. His family | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
have been researching the story and discovered from letters to their | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
grandmother that he was worried about the military nature of the | :23:01. | :23:08. | |
unit. It seems to grow more military than otherwise. I almost thhnk that | :23:09. | :23:16. | |
I should not have joined. Pdrcy was one of 16,000 men who refusd to | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
fight when conscription was introduced. He had already left the | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
unit, feeling it was part of the British Army. He was tried by a | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
local tribunal and jailed three times as a conscientious objector. | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
He spent around two and a h`lf years in prison. My grandmother s`id the | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
years in prison probably aided his early death. I know she was sent a | :23:42. | :23:48. | |
white feather, as a lot of people were, who were conscientious | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
objectors. Some prison sentdnces were harsh, and useless. Thdy were | :23:55. | :24:01. | |
given work to do which was pointless. I think at that time the | :24:02. | :24:10. | |
idea you weren't a real man was a hard one to stand against. Percy's | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
stands when him support. He was elected a Labour councillor after | :24:17. | :24:24. | |
the war, and in 1946 he bec`me sheriff of knowledge. I'm stre | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
they'll will be many who will say people like him and the othdrs who | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
were objectors, were in fact powers, but I don't believe that is the case | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
and I believe what they did took courage. Percy Boddy died in 19 9 | :24:38. | :24:47. | |
following a stroke, aged just 1 . `` 60. Time for the weather. The best | :24:48. | :24:58. | |
of the sunshine was in the north of the region today. We have got if you | :24:59. | :25:14. | |
to move into tonight. `` a few. A loss of the showers will cldar away | :25:15. | :25:25. | |
and much of the night will be dry. We get the lowest temperatures under | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
the clear skies, down to frdezing. That means a bit of surface water | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
will be out, and you can't rule out icy patches. With light winds we are | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
looking at some patchy mist and fog. Tomorrow, this low and rain stays to | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
the south`west, so for us it is not a bad day. I think the mist and fog | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
should clear and, apart frol a few showers, we're looking at fhne and | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
dry conditions with sunshind coming through at times. Temperatures will | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
be around eight or nine Celsius The best of the sunshine will sde double | :26:03. | :26:09. | |
figures. In the sunshine, it shouldn't feel too bad at all. | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
Through the afternoon, therd will be some showers but they will be few | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
and far between. For most of us dry enter the day. As we head into the | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
rest of the week, Wednesday, after a cold start, it looks fine and, | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
high`pressure building and some decent spells of sunshine. Then a | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
lot of uncertainty from Thursday onwards. It depends on wherd the | :26:33. | :26:39. | |
weather friend goes to. It looks like the rain should stay to the | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
north of us on Thursday, so after a bright start it will cloud over but | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
it will stay dry. Depending on Thursday, Friday is looking a cloud | :26:49. | :26:55. | |
free day. It will be breezy towards the end of the week but much milder | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
too. After some pretty cold and frosty wind, we should have a mild | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
night. Just a reminder, Inside Out is on at | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
7.30pm on BBC One tonight. @mong the stories David Whiteley is b`ck at | :27:11. | :27:13. | |
