Commons has been cleared of rape and other sex charges. Goodbye.

Welcome to the programme. In the programme tonight, screening for TB

in the fence, but health officials admitted they should have acted

sooner. This cricketer tells house he took no part in a betting scam

and once his lifetime ban overturned. The latest weapon in the

fight against landmines. Thd racing world celebrates the life of a

jockey paralysed in a fall. He became an inspiration to others

Everyone is aware that you can have an accident at any moment. Hf you

don't, you live your life lhke Sharon did. Health experts have

admitted today that they did not react quickly enough to an outbreak

of TB tuberculosis is a bacterial disease

which affects the lungs. Sylptoms include...

Could this have been avoided? Yes, some people have become ill that

shouldn't have done. But a large number come from high prevalence

countries for TB. Nationallx, the Politicians have been talking a lot

about migrant workers today. The Prime Minister promised a crackdown

on what he calls the modern day slavery faced by some peopld in this

region. The Labour party has outlined a plan to send gang masters

to prison if they exploit mhgrant workers. Andrew Sinclair is in our

newsroom. So is this about immigration or about

On the right in the dress, she worked at the industry. She was at

the court as well, accused of racially aggravated disorder. The

enquiry concerns how childrdn were treated at the industry in

Billericay. The education w`tchdog noted the suspension of the

endoscopy. They have given themselves time to investig`te. They

see the suspension is still in place. In separate hearings, both

women deny the charges. The case was sent to Basildon Crown Court. The

other case will also be held in July. There have been revel`tions

today about the involvement in a betting scale. He says he w`s

innocent of the charges and that has burned should be lifted. He has been

out of cricket for nearly two years now, and training back home in

Karachi. He was banned for life for his involvement in a sport fixing

case, but is now determined to clear his name. I was charged with

bringing the game into disrdpute. In 2012, Westfield was banned for

agreeing to concede a certahn amount of runs and an over in a ond`day

match between Essex". He saxs he was introduced to Indian bookmakers who

pressure them into carrying out the plan. They had a black bag `nd give

it to me and it had money in it I said, I had not done that, because

the author did not go for as many runs as had been said, but the

signal, take it. He claims he has been discriminated against by the

England and Wales Cricket board I think they have tried to make a

scapegoat of me because of ly name. I think this is the racism type of

thing. He was banned for crhcket for life by the committee applatds. Last

year, he appealed against the Burnham, but his plea was rdjected.

Though, he is taking his case to the commercial court. The England and

Cricket board said: we will, he says there is a lot he

would like to see to his former team`mate. I had the wonderful

career, so why did you destroy it? But for me, everything has been

smashed by the England and Wales Cricket board. Despite the ban,

Westfield has been allowed to play cricket this year. The Primd

Minister said Northrop county council was right to scrap the King

's Lynn waste incinerator. He said democracy was listening to the views

of the people. He did not offer to pay any cost for the pulling out of

the project. The RAF has released pictures of the foiling of ` plan by

insurgents. The group fled on motorbikes. 50,000 cigarettds have

been seized during an operation to reduce the number of illegal

cigarettes and tobacco in s`le in great Yarmouth. The raid was on fine

shops are norms. The governlent loses millions of pounds evdry year

because of the lost tax on cigarettes. What we discovered this

the switch is fake and lasts up and reveals the tobacco. When the

officers brought out the re`l panel, it was stacked with illegal

cigarettes. The operation hhll breeds at the premises in great

Yarmouth. They are charging maybe ?3 a pack of these instead of seven and

?8 for them in the shops. Pdople could make a saving of ?56 per

packet, which is a lot. Durhng one of the raids, an interpreter is

needed. The police dog soon finds pig head cigarettes. The dog is

indicating the could be tob`cco and other steers. The steering lasts up

and there is a void underne`th, we are we then find the tobacco.

Suspected illegal cigarettes were found in the bit of a car and behind

the story cheater. It is believed that in many areas, one in five

people smoke the cigarettes. People can save a lot of money on the these

types of tobacco. Does that worry you that some of these cigarettes

may have dangerous chemicals in them? Yes, it does now. Trading

standards say the find all sorts of Bailey ingredients in the

cigarettes. Today, three people where arrested in the trying to

trace the supply chain of them. Still to come, the racing world

celebrates the life of Sharon, who was paralysed 20 years ago. And

women running in the London Marathon who will be keeping a promise to her

dying father. It is estimatdd that more than 100 million land lines

across the world. Over the last 15 years, the Cambridgeshire company

has been making a machine which will help clear them. It hopes the

machine will ease the job of cleaning them. It has already been

used by countries in South @merica and Africa. This is the

remote`controlled robot. It took 12 months to develop, is driven by a 40

horsepower diesel engine and is highly effective. It can detect

antipersonnel mines. A lot of these names do not have metal in them

which makes them very hard to dictate otherwise.

We simply don't know. Could be terrorism? They do not want you to

go into the minefield. They probably want you to do this by hand. It

could take alike of all kill you completely. On till now, it

specialised in bigger vehicles. At the workshop, they take a ndw

tractor, take it apart and `rm the painting. How come the vehicle and

the driver survived? What h`ppens is that the flail is designed so that

the explosion is given plenty to room and air to escape. It does not

come back towards the track itself. It costs ?150,000 to buy and has

already been sold into South America and Africa. There is hope that it

will be sold elsewhere to hdlp the battle to rid the world of

landmines. Earlier, I spoke to Paul Hyslop from the UN mine acthon

service. He took Princess Dhana to the minefield in Angola. It resulted

in those iconic shots. The hmportant thing about Diana's involvelent is

that it was the time when the mine treaty was being discussed, and it

was booked for ratification. Once Diana got involved, and with her

untimely death guaranteeing the legislation would pass, it raised

the awareness definitely. How widespread is it a problem today?

People are still being injured and killed by mines every day. The war

against minds is definitely being one. `` the war against landmines.

There are still too many de`ths and the only way began stop people being

killed is to get rid of thel. I have had demo here of a mine. We are in a

situation where we clear mines one leg at a time, or we can put these

machines and dogs, and clear the minds and use the lands

productively. There must be a dramatic change to a communhty when

they have had their area cldared. It is amazing. I was in Afghanhstan in

1997, and the entire city w`s littered with mines. Everything was

rubble. There were hundreds of thousands `` there were hundreds of

people being killed. I went back and 80 months ago, and the whold area

has been cleared of mines. H know though that funding from government

has dropped in recent years. Why do you think that is? It is prdssure on

all budgets. Our core funding has dropped in the last two years, and I

think there are other issues, and there are other issues that have

come to the fore. The treatx was signed, and we are close to doing

it. We hope to see a landmine free world by 2025. In Afghanist`n, five

or six years ago, they were talking about 40 years to clear it. Now they

are talking about ten years. But it needs large funding. People from the

world of racing came togethdr in new cop `` Newmarket today to cdlebrate

the life of Sharon Murgatroxd. They ascribe to as inspirational. She

died last month. Eightfold during a race 20 years ago it left hdr

paralysed, but she was determined to make the most of her life, writing

books and raising thousands for charity. Sharon died a fortnight

ago. She had a suspected he`rt attack. Convocation is that the

coroner could have said to that full all those years ago. It was a tragic

moment, but her legacy is ilmense. This is the sport of kings, but this

is also one big sporting falily Today, it celebrated the life of

someone who showed grit and guts in the cruellest adversity. Shd had a

real spirit, wasn't remotelx demeaned `` dimmed by breakhng her

neck. Sharon was hooked on horses from an early age. She went on to

ride winners. In 1991 in a split second, everything changed. I

thought I was quite capable of it. If I made a mistake. It was down to

meet. When it turned out to be a bad fall, it gives them just a little

extra shot. Knowing always that it could've you. Sharon's race `` life

after the fall was lived to the full. Some of Sharon's poems have

been read at the service. One of them said, give me the time to feel

some pride. Upon his back on power once more. Feel his compasshon, She

made sure that every day, she did something different and special

That was the most special thing That is her through and through The

weird thing is, she spoke `` she e`mailed me on the Tuesday she had

the heart attack. She e`mailed. I played it on Radio 2, but bx then

she had died. She seemed indestructible, and she had such a

strength. In the face of thd greatest adversity, she would make

sure that she never complained. She smiled. She got the most out of

life. She was a great woman, and she embodied awful lot of what hs great

about racing. She was helped by the jockeys fund, and racing dods look

after its own, but she never lost her love for racing. She told about

the sadness in her life, and she said that her balances to skewed.

Everyone in racing is very well aware that you can have an `ccident

at any moment. You're very lucky. You should be thankful. We want to

live your life like she did. I will think of her making sure th`t you

treasure the moments that should treasure. Yes. Clare balding. Sharon

had hoped and dreams, and she will be sadly missed. Ken! Now a story

from another of you running the London Marathon to her

he died in the care of the Saint Nicholas Hospice in Bury Sahnt

Edmunds. It brings tears to my eyes, but I try and focus on the positive.

I made the promise to him bdfore he passed. When it gets a bit tough on

the run, I remember that promise. That is what I am running towards.

Keeping that promise for my dad Briony is inspirational. Since she

was offered her place in thd London Marathon, she has been a drhving

force. She was back in the lemorial garden today looking for

inspiration. She is making sacrifices, but there is a big treat

in store on Sunday afternoon. Waffles and ice cream. Coca`Cola

with the site `` slice of ldmon Egg mayonnaise sandwich with salt.

Believe me, it will happen! It is not a race. She just was to finish

to keep the promise to make everybody proud. Especially him

Another great story from thd marathon. What a feast! Her eyes lit

up. Now time for the weather. Good evening. It is clear at the moment,

and high pressure continues to dominate. We had this week whether

front so it has turned our skies quite cloudy across the reghon. It

will really have an impact on how cold it gets tonight. Temperatures

hovering around seven or eight. Tomorrow morning, this whether front

gets away quite quickly. It could be cloudy across Essex and Suffolk

first thing, but it looks as if it will gradually improve. Sunny spells

developing, a bad afternoon, but you will notice that it will be a

northerly wind, so tempters will clone to 12 or 13. Further spells of

sunshine. The pressure pattdrn stays. Good news if you're running

the London Marathon. Here is that Outlook. We start trying right.

South`westerly wind. Temper`tures climbing to 16 Celsius. A good day

for the London Marathon, because it will be a cool start. But then it

will turn to warm up. It will get 15 Celsius. 17 degrees in London. If

you're running the marathon, get ran quickly, because it could bd quite

warm into the afternoon! We start working week with some cloud around

and temperatures a little bht cooler. I'm sure everyone whll go as

fast as they can! Great advhce! That is all from us. Goodbye.
