calls for UN peacekeepers to be sent in. That's all from the BBC

Hello and welcome to Look E`st. In the programme tonight: How did a

nine`year`old boy fall out of a moving coach, as it was travelling

along a main road in Norfolk? A coroner criticises the East of

England Ambulance Service, after two student paramedics failed to realise

this mother was bleeding to death. All they had to do, because they

were not qualified, was get her to the hospital as quickly as possible,

and that was all they had to do and they have not done that.

In the football: Heartache for Norwich. And hope for Ipswich. Could

it be one up and one down at the end of the season?

And running the marathon for Auntie Helen. Eight members of one family.

First tonight, the terrible moment a nine`year`old boy fell out of a

moving coach near King's Lynn, in Norfolk. The boy had been playing

Mini rugby in a tournament in Holt and was travelling back to

Lincolnshire along the A47 when the accident happened. His mother was

travelling in a separate car, his Father was on board the coach.

condition in Addenbrooke's Hospital. Kim Riley is on the A47 now. Kim.

direction, North Norfolk, heading direction, North Norfolk, hdading

towards Peterborough and ultimately towards Stamford. The Father of the

injured boy was on the coach and his mother was among a convoy travelling

with it, also heading home, it is not clear whether she witnessed the

tragedy. The double` decker coach about to be

removed from the A47, after a tragic accident in which no other vehicle

was involved. The nine year old fell from the main entrance door halfway

From enquiries so far, it h`s revealed there was queueing by young

people waiting to use the toilet inside the coach. They were queueing

next to the draw and somehow the door has come open `` the door. Any

ideas how? It would be pure speculation but

that is the focus, to find out how. The drivers will be spoken to and

anybody else at the scene. The appeal for witnesses may bring more

people forward and there is a vehicle examination.

Lynn. He has since been transferred to Addenbrooke's Hospital in

Cambridge. The parents and the coaches that

tournaments like this, we expect them to have a good time and to come

back safely at the end of this day. And on this occasion, unfortunately,

that did not happen. Hamilton's Coaches, from Rothwell,

Northamptonshire, have not commented, but the body that

represents coach operators says they have a fantastic safety record.

A reward of ?5,000 is being offered for information about a killer who

attacked a man in Colchester. James Attfield had more than 100 knife

wounds when his body was fotnd in Castle Park on March 29th. The

police say it is possible whoever was responsible could attack again.

More than two weeks after James Attfield was murdered, police seem

no closer to catching his khller, or no closer to catching his khller, or

killers. Today, at a media conference at Essex Police

headquarters, Crimestoppers offered a reward of up to ?5,000. The

financial reward could potentially ring someone forward with vhtal

information. But I think more importantly, it is the anonymity the

key to helping police solve this crime. The reason we chose to get

involved is it absolutely breaks my heart to think what James wdnt

found and taken off the strdet. It was Friday March 28th, at 10pm,

when James Attfield was captured on CCTV in the River Lodge pub.

Saturday March 29th, 5:45am. He was found dying near Castle Park, in

Colchester. He had been stabbed 102 times. On April second, James's

times. On April second, Jamds's mother, Julie Finch, appealed for

help to catch her son's killer, or killers.

Meanwhile, the search for the murder weapon went on back in Castle Park.

April 11th. The police cordon at Castle Park was finally lifted.

Since the murder, two arrests have been made. A man has been released

How much of a worry is it that whoever was responsible may attack

someone else? There is office suite a concern, we

can never rule out that possibility `` obviously. We do not know what

motive is. It is hoped the offer of a reward

could lead to a breakthrough. A new report out today says we will

only get better services from the NHS and local councils if wd

NHS and local councils if we complain more. The recommendation

comes from MPs on the Public Administration Select Committee.

They talk about a culture of denial and failure. The chairman of the

committee is the Essex MP Bernard committee is the Essex MP Bdrnard

And MPs see a lot of complaints. The thing we most often hear as an MP

is, is it worth complaining, will it make a difference? If people thought

people, that is a common thhng we people, that is a common thhng we

by the Mid`Staffordshire enpuiry, which was about the collapse

We have this in microcosm in Colchester. The council services ``

the cancer services, there has been a crisis of confidence becatse

people were complaining and the management was not listening. But

she went for a meeting at Colchester General and you said it was hugely

reassuring. Colchester General Hospital is safer than ever before.

Perhaps you were not listening! The evidence we were given strongly

suggested the hospital was safer than ever before and I believe that

today, it is safer than ever before. What we found was that the

management was listening. But in that particular case, about the

cancer services, it turned out not to be listening. The danger is this

becomes a charter forward and jurors. Let it, let the system

discern who is complaining `nd who discern who is complaining and who

is a real case. You cannot say, I have to decide if this is a real

complaint. You start from the premise, this customer is telling

next week to spend ?1.5 million to protect the sea wall near the

eastern esplanade. They want to line the base of the sea wall with

boulders, to stop the erosion getting any worse. But this won't

put the sand back. That would take another ?5 million of work, out of a

run their guest house for 37 years and, like many seafront businesses,

The state of the beach is dreadful, as far as we are concerned. The sand

has disappeared to the other side of the pier. Now we cannot get down

with the railings. And we h`ve with the railings. And we have

noticed a sign saying the bdach with the railings. And we h`ve

A report out today says the NHS is not doing enough to encourage new

treatments and pay for new equipment. Among the good ideas is

using robots for surgery for prostate cancer. One robot hs being

used at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge. But it was bought using

money raised by a charity, not from Health Service funding.

There is the patient. There is the surgeon. And then, there is the

robot. ?1.4 million`worth of robot, to be precise. It helps perform

keyhole surgery on patients like Victor Wilson.

It is not like the old type where it takes a long time to recover,

because it is open surgery `nd more because it is open surgery `nd more

liable to have maybe infection. because it is open surgery and more

liable to have maybe infection. It should be able to more prechse

liable to have maybe infection. It should be able to more prechse so we

should be able to more precise so we are hoping with the 3D, he can take

pretty much all the cancer and we pretty much all the cancer and we

can get on with our lives. Addenbrooke's has pioneered the

largest programme of robotic prostate surgery within the NHS in

England. Around 1,500 patients so far. But the money for this robot

and its predecessor came from local fundraisers, not the NHS.

I feel the NHS should be H amend this test bed and if the government

put in place this new technology in a restricted number of centres, we

would know whether the technology was good straightaway.

There is plenty of talk abott There is plenty of talk about

ground`breaking in the NHS `t There is plenty of talk abott

ground`breaking in the NHS at the moment. The Chief Executive of NHS

England said last week that he wants more experimentation. And on Friday,

in Ipswich, the body's Medical Director, Sir Bruce Keogh, opened a

new training centre, where everything is high`tech, and where

robots are used to help mentor medical staff. But this report out

today, from the Royal College of Surgeons, says more action hs

incentives to innovate. Patients in England to serve the

very best care and that is something I feel very passionately about. The

The report has put forward a string of recommendations. A spokesman for
