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 | :05:44. | :06:03. | |
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. | |
