Hello and welcome to Look E`st. In the programme tonight: A major

:00:08.:00:14.

fire...at a fire station. One fire engine is destroyed and there's

:00:15.:00:18.

major damage to the building. That weren't till I actually turned into

:00:19.:00:22.

the station that I thought, Oh my God, the station is on fire Two men

:00:23.:00:26.

are still missing after a sdarch and rescue mission off the coast at

:00:27.:00:29.

Lowestoft. The body of a thhrd man was found yesterday. The desperate

:00:30.:00:33.

need for more mental health beds for young people. One teenager's story.

:00:34.:00:40.

I know it's a cliche, but it does need to be reitereated that it

:00:41.:00:45.

genuinely is life or death. And Lottery funding for this group in

:00:46.:00:48.

Colchester ` to try to change the image of the Essex Girl. First

:00:49.:01:03.

tonight, awkward questions for Norfolk Fire Service after one of

:01:04.:01:07.

its fire stations burns down and the fire engine inside goes up hn smoke

:01:08.:01:10.

as well. The fire broke out just after midnight at Downham M`rket.

:01:11.:01:15.

Local firefighters were powdrless to do anything because their own fire

:01:16.:01:33.

engine was inside the buildhng. In all, eight other crews from across

:01:34.:01:35.

Norfolk and Cambridgeshire were needed to bring the fire under

:01:36.:01:38.

control. Later fire bosses they hadn't fitted the building with

:01:39.:01:41.

sprinklers. Kevin Burch has this report. The station's own fhre

:01:42.:01:44.

engine was caught up in the blaze, but the retained fire crew has

:01:45.:01:47.

already been given a replacdment. The station sits by the market, and

:01:48.:01:51.

the alarm was raised when someone smelled smoke. The fire crew headed

:01:52.:01:54.

to the scene, unaware that ht was their base that was on fire. We

:01:55.:02:03.

thought it was smoke coming from a car that was further up the road,

:02:04.:02:07.

but it was not until we turned up to the station when I realised that the

:02:08.:02:18.

station was on fire. The crdw was unable to act, its own applhance was

:02:19.:02:22.

on fire inside and the keys were also in the building. 20 minutes

:02:23.:02:31.

later, another crew arrived on the scene, the first of eight to be

:02:32.:02:34.

called on. The Fire Service says that this ablaze has not left any

:02:35.:02:38.

gap in cover. They managed to bring in a replacement equipment within

:02:39.:02:41.

hours. However, the appliance that they lost was worth about ?200, 00,

:02:42.:02:44.

the equipment ?80,000, and to build a similar station would cost ?1 5

:02:45.:02:47.

million. Thankfully, everything is covered by insurance. We will suffer

:02:48.:02:50.

some ribbing from our colle`gues, but nobody was hurt and we have kept

:02:51.:02:54.

fire cover going from the town. The retained crew has been given a new

:02:55.:03:03.

base by Norfolk Constabularx. Some residents were moved out of their

:03:04.:03:06.

homes as potentially dangerous fibres drifted on the breezd and

:03:07.:03:19.

canisters burst. It does brhng to light having a fire station near

:03:20.:03:22.

residential houses, because the explosions were quite big. The Fire

:03:23.:03:26.

Service says that having a fire at a building like this is relathvely

:03:27.:03:29.

rare, and that it s prinklers had been fitted there would havd been

:03:30.:03:32.

less damage. Stuart Horth is the Area Manager for Norfolk Fire

:03:33.:03:45.

Rescue Service. Should you not practice what you preach and have

:03:46.:03:51.

sprinklers? We are building a new fire station and it has been planned

:03:52.:03:57.

for sprinklers. But this is not a very old building, surely it should

:03:58.:04:01.

have had sprinklers. It is `bout where you put the money. Do you put

:04:02.:04:06.

money into a fire station which is not staffed with people at the

:04:07.:04:14.

time? Do you put it into solewhere where there is a fire risk, possibly

:04:15.:04:22.

a sleeping risk. We will recover from this and we were up and running

:04:23.:04:28.

at 9:30am and we had a fire engine ready to go and Downham Market. If

:04:29.:04:36.

we had been a business which had lost all of its premises and its

:04:37.:04:41.

vehicle, how well would thex have recovered? In homes, this is what

:04:42.:04:55.

will save your life. Your gtys turned up but did not know what was

:04:56.:05:03.

their on fire engine inside. Not always the information we h`ve from

:05:04.:05:06.

an incident is that the address is correct so they got their whth no

:05:07.:05:14.

kit and with no fire appliance but they did make the area safe and make

:05:15.:05:21.

sure no one else was injured. Most of the day has been planning for

:05:22.:05:25.

what will happen if that is a fire in the area will stop. From 9:3 am

:05:26.:05:37.

we had the vehicle is up and running and ready to go. Those guys will

:05:38.:05:43.

still be working but not from that fire station? Noel from 20 or 3

feet away in the police station A flagship free school run by a

:06:04.:06:06.

Swedish company in Suffolk has been put into special measures bx Ofsted

:06:07.:06:09.

just 18 months after it opened. Among the problems for the HES

:06:10.:06:12.

Breckland school in Brandon ` inadequate teaching and poor

:06:13.:06:15.

behaviour from pupils. The company insists it's already made

:06:16.:06:17.

improvements and is appointhng new teachers to turn the school around.

:06:18.:06:29.

It opened promising dynamisl, passion and academic achievdment. 18

:06:30.:06:33.

months on, Ofsted says that IES Breckland is failing. Teachhng is

:06:34.:06:36.

inadequate and behaviour is poor. The school is struggling to cope

:06:37.:06:39.

with the loss of seven staff last year, including the princip`l. We

:06:40.:06:43.

need to start a head of English as soon as possible. So, no he`d of

:06:44.:06:55.

English, maths or science? No, but we have expanded the leadership

:06:56.:06:59.

team. With new people on bo`rd and a restructure of the timetabld, the

:07:00.:07:02.

education of the school will go upwards. Critics of free schools say

:07:03.:07:19.

that they warned of problems. For the sake of the parents and pupils,

:07:20.:07:22.

the school has to turn things around. This is one of 17 schools

:07:23.:07:36.

operated by IES in Sweden. But their first foray in Britain has come into

:07:37.:07:48.

trouble. The problem is onlx arose in September and had been ddalt with

:07:49.:07:54.

by the end of October. The senior management team have been rdally

:07:55.:08:06.

supportive. For now, the school has the backing of the Education and

:08:07.:08:14.

Skills Minister and local MP. We have got to make sure that the

:08:15.:08:17.

teaching is high quality and the school is excellent. The report

:08:18.:08:35.

shows how much work there is to do, and the school has started to make

:08:36.:08:38.

steps in that direction, but much more needs to happen to makd sure

:08:39.:08:42.

that we make this happen. The company wants that the meastres are

:08:43.:08:45.

already under way, but the educational authority says that it

:08:46.:08:48.

will take tough measures if needed. Earlier today I went to the school

:08:49.:08:52.

to speak to the UK chairman of IES, Peter Fyles. I put it to hil that

:08:53.:08:56.

losing six staff in one month was indicative of serious probldms. This

:08:57.:09:06.

is not a top location to recruit top`quality staff and I think that

:09:07.:09:10.

now we are achieving and becoming successful. Why did you not do

:09:11.:09:19.

something about it sooner? One year out of the education of a child is

:09:20.:09:26.

very detrimental to them. Wd choose always to put the students first.

:09:27.:09:34.

That is what IES has always been about. We have encountered

:09:35.:09:39.

difficulties here which we have to acknowledge we are learning lessons

:09:40.:09:47.

from. There is so much focus on the school because this is the first

:09:48.:09:54.

profit free school. You are being paid to manage the school and you

:09:55.:10:08.

have is not managed it. In this particular project, we have taken

:10:09.:10:16.

out from profit ?35,000. We have invested approximately ?250,000 and

:10:17.:10:22.

will continue to invest in ht because that is what it is, a

:10:23.:10:29.

marathon not a sprint. It is a project that we are committdd to

:10:30.:10:33.

which we will see through to the end and we will make successful. You are

:10:34.:10:44.

experimenting with young people and their lives and education. Ht is not

:10:45.:10:52.

an experiment but the chancd to bring a bit IES ethos to thd United

:10:53.:11:03.

Kingdom. It is taking time. You say that it is a marathon, how long is

:11:04.:11:08.

this marathon and when can we expect the school to be out of special

:11:09.:11:14.

measures and be doing well? The inspector comes back six wedks after

:11:15.:11:18.

we apply and then there is ` first`time visit which I prdsume

:11:19.:11:27.

will be the first term in the new academic year. We will expect to

:11:28.:11:45.

have improved substantially. The search for two men missing hn the

:11:46.:11:48.

sea off Lowestoft has been called off. The men were reported lissing

:11:49.:11:53.

to police after a speedboat capsized off Ness Point yesterday afternoon.

:11:54.:11:56.

A third man pulled from the sea was pronounced dead at the scend. A

:11:57.:11:59.

briefing from coastguard coordinator Andy Sutherland for his teal at

:12:00.:12:02.

Lowestoft. They were going to search the beach at the south end of the

:12:03.:12:07.

town, but then had a call to go quickly north to Ness Point. There,

:12:08.:12:10.

the lifeboat had spotted solething in the water. It turned out to be a

:12:11.:12:16.

false alarm. It was thought that the men were fishing from the speedboat

:12:17.:12:20.

that was recovered from the beach last night. What we saw last night

:12:21.:12:24.

was that two of the blades of the propeller were damaged. Agahn, we

:12:25.:12:27.

don't want to speculate. Thdy may have hit some debris in the water

:12:28.:12:31.

and then capsized. That may well be the answer. But obviously, we do not

:12:32.:12:42.

know yet. Kelly works at thd Orbit energy centre close to Ness Point.

:12:43.:12:46.

She made the 999 call yesterday afternoon after spotting debris in

:12:47.:12:52.

the water. Me and my colleagues saw debris in the water that look like a

:12:53.:12:57.

chair, a pair of trousers, ` life jacket. So we stood up at the window

:12:58.:13:00.

with binoculars, trying to dstablish what it was. Then I spotted what

:13:01.:13:04.

looked like a person in the water, realised that something possibly

:13:05.:13:07.

quite serious had gone on, so I called the coastguard, which was

:13:08.:13:11.

probably 1:50pm. One man was pulled from the sea could not be rdvived.

:13:12.:13:20.

It was a long and tiring dax and several of the men on the fhrst call

:13:21.:13:25.

got all the clothing wet and came back in the clothing did not have

:13:26.:13:28.

the chance to get try beford they to go back in. It is sad that they

:13:29.:13:36.

tried to see somebody and this was not successful. The search for the

:13:37.:13:44.

two missing men was called off at 1:30pm and the Coast Guard says that

:13:45.:13:50.

there is no plan for any further searches. . Essex Police sax a

:13:51.:14:05.

woman's been taken to hospital after she lost control reversing her car

:14:06.:14:08.

and crashed into a house. It happened this morning in Hexbridge

:14:09.:14:11.

near Maldon. The crash has caused substantial damage to the btilding.

:14:12.:14:26.

No `ne was in the house at the time. Still to come on the progralme

:14:27.:14:30.

tonight. The professor in charge of making Great Britain's cyclhng team

:14:31.:14:33.

go faster. Plus what does the phrase "Essex Girl" mean to you? Wd talk to

:14:34.:14:37.

the arts centre awarded ?50,000 to "challenge the stereotype". Some of

:14:38.:14:40.

you will already know these figures but they are staggering. Suhcide is

:14:41.:14:43.

the third biggest killer of teenagers. One in ten children aged

:14:44.:14:46.

between five and 16 have a lental health problem. And yet there is

:14:47.:14:50.

growing concern over a shortage of facilities to care for them. Last

:14:51.:14:53.

week on Look East we were ghven exclusive access to an adoloscent

:14:54.:14:56.

mental health unit in Essex. The St Aubyn Centre is one of only two of

:14:57.:15:01.

its kind in the country so there's a chronic shortage of beds for those

:15:02.:15:04.

most seriously ill. Rachel Crick contacted us after the programme.

:15:05.:15:07.

Our chief reporter Kim Rilex has been to hear her story. 19`xear`old

:15:08.:15:13.

ritual used to try and hide her teenage depression that 17 the

:15:14.:15:18.

pretence ended and her life fell apart. Now she makes no attdmpt to

:15:19.:15:23.

hide the scars on her arms `nd elsewhere. There is nothing anyone

:15:24.:15:30.

could do that would make me ashamed of this, that is part of me. Before

:15:31.:15:47.

being admitted to the centrd, she spent a week being assessed. I have

:15:48.:16:00.

some experience of seeing sdvere eating disorders and unlike and that

:16:01.:16:07.

was a very depressing time. Did that damage you further? I feel that it

:16:08.:16:17.

ended much of my recovery. @fter you saw our report last week yot wanted

:16:18.:16:25.

to speak out about the lack of resources for young people like

:16:26.:16:31.

yourself a couple of years `go. I was so lucky in managing to have the

:16:32.:16:36.

care and support from brillhant staff and the brilliant psychiatric

:16:37.:16:40.

unit but knowing that there are hundreds of young people out there

:16:41.:16:44.

who are struggling and they are trying to talk to people but there

:16:45.:16:55.

is not enough resources for everybody. What did the centre do

:16:56.:17:11.

for you? What did St Aubyn do? They give me an amazing support `nd they

:17:12.:17:16.

helped me through it and I believe if it had not been for the tnit and

:17:17.:17:23.

their staff treating me with such support, I would not be herd today.

:17:24.:17:29.

They saved your life? Definhtely, without a doubt. You tried to take

:17:30.:17:37.

your life on a number of occasions. I did that I feel blessed that those

:17:38.:17:43.

people were there at the right time and doing that job and saving young

:17:44.:17:50.

people like me. I know it is the cliche but it does need to be the

:17:51.:18:05.

yeti rooted that it is genuhnely `` reiterated that it is genuinely life

:18:06.:18:19.

or death. The charity SANE runs a mental health helpline. If xou need

:18:20.:18:23.

support or advice this evenhng their number is 0845 767 8000. Thdre was a

:18:24.:18:41.

time not so long ago when you would have struggled to name a top British

:18:42.:18:55.

cyclists. The Tour de Francd is coming to Britain this year.

:18:56.:19:03.

Technically the sport is ch`nging fast too. So much so that the Great

:19:04.:19:07.

Britain cycling team has appointed a professor from the University of

:19:08.:19:10.

Cambridge to help them go f`ster. We'll hear from him in a molent But

:19:11.:19:14.

first Simon Newton can give us a quick history lesson with the help

:19:15.:19:17.

of bikes from very different eras. Simon. This bike weighs abott ten

:19:18.:19:22.

kilos and is from 1986 and hs worth quite a lot of money. If yot jump

:19:23.:19:29.

forward to the late 1990s, the advent of carbon fibre brought about

:19:30.:19:35.

a real change in this bike weighs less than seven kilos and costs the

:19:36.:19:44.

price of a small car. This lan runs a bike shop here in Norwich. What is

:19:45.:19:48.

the difference between your bike that costs ?3000 and that all is old

:19:49.:20:06.

steel bike? Even the bottle cages are made out of carbon fibrd. Carbon

:20:07.:20:15.

fibre is the real differencd. The real effect is an aerodynamhcs? A

:20:16.:20:23.

lot of technology know is going into road bikes. Bikes fundament`lly

:20:24.:20:36.

remain the same and it will be very interesting to see where those

:20:37.:20:47.

advances come in the next fdw years. Professor Tony Purnell is Hdad of

:20:48.:20:50.

Technical Development for the Great Britain Cycling Team. He's

:20:51.:21:10.

previously worked with the Jaguar Formula one team. On Friday he'll be

:21:11.:21:13.

speaking at the Cambridge Science Festival. He's in Cambridge now

:21:14.:21:19.

Cycling is mainly about the rider and in Formula one you may be the

:21:20.:21:24.

most brilliant driver in thd world but if you are not in the rhght car

:21:25.:21:28.

you do not have a hope. That is a profound difference. Formul` one is

:21:29.:21:34.

technology lead while cycling is more human. Why do you think so many

:21:35.:21:43.

engineers are cyclists? To race a bike needs a lot of hard work and a

:21:44.:21:50.

degree of sharp thinking and soul being an engineer, I would like to

:21:51.:21:55.

think that it is the perfect sport because both have that in common.

:21:56.:22:13.

What are your goals at the loment? London was so successful for British

:22:14.:22:19.

cycling but our ambition is to try to equal or better the performance

:22:20.:22:23.

of London and we have lost ` few starters. But there are somd

:22:24.:22:29.

youngsters coming up and thd women look fantastic and hopefullx might

:22:30.:22:35.

seem can make them that tinx little bit faster. Thank you very luch

:22:36.:22:50.

For years, Essex Girls, verx unfairly, have been the butt of

:22:51.:22:53.

jokes about miniskirts and white stilletos. But they are fighting

:22:54.:22:59.

back. A charity in Colchestdr has been given tens of thousands of

:23:00.:23:02.

pounds of Lottery money to help change the image. It says it's time

:23:03.:23:11.

the old stereotype was forgotten. TV show is the only way as Essdx `` The

:23:12.:23:29.

Only Way Is Essex has startdd a debate across the country. Perhaps

:23:30.:23:40.

typical Essex girls are mord interested in nightclubbing than

:23:41.:23:47.

anything else. Do you think the images damaging? Yes, we had a story

:23:48.:23:55.

from a young girl who went for an interview for a job in London. She

:23:56.:23:59.

was asked where she was frol and she said that she was from Essex and

:24:00.:24:03.

they all started laughing. H think that is damaging cos the idda that

:24:04.:24:09.

someone from Essex is low intelligence will affect yotr

:24:10.:24:14.

chances in a job interview. Does it make you angry? I do not know if I

:24:15.:24:21.

am angry but I think we are very tired of it now. Dame Helen Mirren

:24:22.:24:32.

proves that Essex women are high achievers as does this Olympics and

:24:33.:24:41.

the singer. She is confident enough to chase her dream. I am 16 and I am

:24:42.:24:49.

from Essex. What did you make of the Essex image in court jester? I know

:24:50.:24:56.

very few people who look like that and sound like that and livd their

:24:57.:25:05.

lives like that. I do not w`nt to be classed as one of those Essdx girls.

:25:06.:25:14.

A stereotype, even an unfair one, will be difficult to banish.

:25:15.:25:20.

It has been a nice day with lots of sunshine around the region. You can

:25:21.:25:31.

see the Jetstream on Sunday was more or less over the UK but over the

:25:32.:25:35.

last few days it has been shifting much further zero words and that

:25:36.:25:39.

means a lot of drives settldd weather. But high pressure brings

:25:40.:25:44.

its own challenges in the form of cloud cover. This is the satellite

:25:45.:25:54.

picture from this morning. @ little bit of low cloud lingering `long the

:25:55.:25:59.

north coast but elsewhere it was a lovely day with lots of us

:26:00.:26:10.

sunshine. Not quite as chilly here but across Norfolk and Suffolk we

:26:11.:26:15.

could get some frost becausd of the light when is from the north`east.

:26:16.:26:21.

It will be another fine day for many of us tomorrow but through the

:26:22.:26:29.

morning of all verbal bee cloud it will start to break up and should be

:26:30.:26:35.

sunshine from lunchtime onw`rds Low cloud will stay over the cotrse for

:26:36.:26:40.

most of the day and that will bring the temperature is back a lhttle.

:26:41.:26:45.

Some places inland will get up to 15 degrees. Towards tomorrow nhght

:26:46.:26:53.

winds will continue to come in and a lot of fog will develop for the

:26:54.:26:57.

first part of Thursday mornhng which could be problematic for thd morning

:26:58.:27:01.

rush hour because there could be dense fog around. Overall Thursday

:27:02.:27:04.

will be quite a cloudy day for most of the day. The high pressure will

:27:05.:27:09.

slowly drift Southwest and ` north`westerly breeze will do

:27:10.:27:16.

develop with cloud developing over the next few days. It will be a bit

:27:17.:27:25.

cloudier on Thursday and sole sunny spells will return for Frid`y, then

:27:26.:27:32.

it will get cooler for Saturday It will be less breezy.
