Hello and welcome to Look East, live tonight from St Ives in | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Cambridgeshire. We're here on the day the UKIP bandwagon rolls into | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
town. Stay with us to hear what the `` these meetings used to be very | :00:11. | :00:21. | |
commonplace but then went out of party and now are back in fashion, | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
at least for UKIP. Stay with us to hear what the party | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
leader Nigel Farage has to say. They needed to be there. Well, why do | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
they not go to Japan? These arguments are ludicrous. | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
I'm here with the day's top stories from Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk. The | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
region's property boom pushes more houses into the million pound | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
bracket: And look at this, a beach hut in Suffolk on sale with an | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
unbelievable price tag. You are kidding me! Way out, way out! I | :00:54. | :01:00. | |
thought if I had 40,000, I could actually buy one. | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
Doctor feel`good star Wilko Johnson is feeling better. The Southend | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
musician undergoes a pioneering operation for cancer. | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
And we're counting down to the Guineas Festival at Newmarket for | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
the first big weekend of the flat racing season. | :01:12. | :01:25. | |
Hello. New figures out today are confirming a big increase in house | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
prices in the eastern region. The Land Registry says the average price | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
in the East of England now stands at almost ?185,000. That figure is up | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
7% on last year. Good news, possibly, if you own a house. Not so | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
good if you are saving up to buy. In London, the average price is now | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
more than ?400,000. That's up 12% compared to a year ago. In a moment, | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
Mike Liggins on a stunning price tag for a little place by the sea. But | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
first Sam Naz looks at how the London price`boom is rippling out | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
and driving up the cost of housing in the East. | :02:01. | :02:09. | |
At attention to detail. I do not think it has ever been seen before. | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
Whether it be the remote control fireplace. This five bedroom house | :02:14. | :02:21. | |
in North Norfolk is on the market for 2.8 ?5 million. `` ?2.85 | :02:22. | :02:31. | |
million. It is not all London. There is no doubt that the property prices | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
have gone ballistic. If it was my choice, I would be having something | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
in London which was a three bed semidetached or the year, I know | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
were I would want to be. This is not the only multi`million pound | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
property on the market. The problem for locals is that house price rises | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
are massively outstripping wages. One of the things that is very | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
important to us is the ratio between average earnings and the average | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
house price. We are seeing that beginning to rise again and that is | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
a key issue for our communities. This is my home. Not a lot of room! | :03:07. | :03:15. | |
20`year`old supermarket wages clerk Emma has lived in this tiny | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
converted garage at her parents' home for the past two years. `` | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
28`year`old. With the help of her parents, she is finally able to buy | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
a shared ownership has in the same village. I am on my own and do not | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
earn a huge amount of money. When they said how much I could have, | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
that was never going to be anything without my parents' help. Being able | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
to live here and save up and then her support with helping out, I | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
could not have done it at all about it. There is no way. I think it is | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
so hard for Young people now to get on the housing market. When it is | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
your daughter and you see that there is never going to be a chance to | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
have a house and unless we had helped it was never going to | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
happen... I just wanted her to have some of her own, somewhere to call | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
hers. The days when East Anglia homes worth more than ?1 million are | :04:11. | :04:21. | |
long gone. `` where are long gone. Those who cannot reach the property | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
ladder and those with deep pockets, the gap is widening. | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
The housing boom isn't just affecting houses. A beach hut on the | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
Suffolk coast is on the market with an eye`watering price tag. Mike | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
Liggins has been for a look. Beach huts in the Gun Hill area of | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
Southwold. Number 228 is on the market for... Well, what would you | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
pay? Inside, it is comfy but hardly luxurious. There is no running water | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
but around the back there is a tap. Bill and Sarah Hill have been | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
visiting the area for years. I asked them to guess the price. Sarah said | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
?40,000, Bill said more ` 60,000. Try 145,000. You are kidding me! | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
Really? Way out! Way out! You're kidding me! I thought if I had | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
40,000 I could actually buy one and live here! 145,000?! Really, is that | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
the latest price for it? High prices on Gun Hill are not unusual. This | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
estate agents recently sold this hut. It was sealed bids and it went | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
for big money. We had a guide price of offers in excess of ?100,000 and | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
the eventual sale price was indeed considerably in excess of ?100,000. | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
The huts are sold leasehold and there is ground rent of about ?600 a | :05:37. | :05:46. | |
year. They need constant repair and can easily be damaged by storms. | :05:47. | :05:54. | |
This was Southwold at Christmas. So why do people pay such big sums to | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
buy them? I think it's because people love Southwold. Once you have | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
been to Southwold, you just stay here. You come generation after | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
generation. That is what happened with most of the beach huts, in | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
fact. Most of them are owned by families who just pass them down | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
from family to family. 228 Gun Hill is up for sale at the end of the | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
summer. The current owners say they have had a lot of interest. | :06:18. | :06:25. | |
Firefighters from Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk were out on strike this | :06:26. | :06:33. | |
afternoon. It was a dispute over retirement and pensions. This was | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
the picket line in Princess Street station in Ipswich. There will be | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
further strikes over the weekend. The guitarist Wilko Johnson has had | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
a pioneering operation to try to combat pancreatic cancer. In 2012, | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
the former Dr feel`good star, from Southend in Essex, was told he had | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
ten months to live. But he's defied doctors' predictions. Kevin Burch | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
reports. He is a larger`than`life legend but | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
from the moment of his diagnosis, Wilko Johnson accepted that his time | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
was pretty much up. There was no point fighting. I mean, I've got | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
less than a year to live. With chemotherapy, they could extend it | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
to one year ` three months extra feeling horrible. So I just want the | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
disease to take its natural course. He started to say goodbye to fans | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
around the world but then by chance it emerged that the cancer was not | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
as aggressive as first thought. Wilko is friends with a cancer | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
specialist who is also a keen rock photographer. He said, "I don't know | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
whether to mention this but really Wilko should be dead by now if he | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
had the kind of tumour that they originally thought he had." Wilko, | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
who in the 70s led his Essex band of to international fame, had the | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
nine`hour operation at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge. The tumour | :07:40. | :07:47. | |
was taken out, along with his pancreas, spleen and part of the | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
stomach. They said to him there was a 5% chance he would die during the | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
operation but he was living with 100% chance of dying if he did not | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
have it. It is the first time such a major operation has been carried out | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
and for Wilko, 66, the next few days and weeks will be critical as he | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
takes time out to recover. But doctors say the surgery could not | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
have gone any better. One person died and two people were | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
hurt in a crash which closed the A17 in Norfolk in both directions this | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
afternoon. Two lorries and two cars were involved. It happened near the | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
Pullover Roundabout at King's Lynn around 1:20. The road was closed for | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
the afternoon and is expected to open around now. | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
An elderly woman who died at a care home in Norwich on Wednesday could | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
have died from choking, a postmortem has found. A care worker, in her | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
50s, from the Hethersett area, who was arrested, has been released on | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
bail. Further tests will take place before a formal cause of death can | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
be confirmed. The woman, aged in her 80s, died at Heathcote Residential | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
Home on Unthank Road. Police investigating the circumstances | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
surrounding her death say they're focusing on the standard of her | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
care. Anglian Water has announced plans to | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
invest billions of pounds on upgrading the region's water | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
infrastructure. The project will protect homes from flooding, prevent | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
water leaks, and extend the sewerage network. The company says 10,000 | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
jobs will be supported by the contracts, which start next year. | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
Turn on a tap and we expect it to flow out. But what do we expect from | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
the water company in our region? Clean water, for a start. Good, | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
healthy clean water and cheap affordability for everybody. Make | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
sure that there is enough supplies in the reservoirs to make sure that | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
we don't have issues when the summer does come around. Provide the water | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
when you want it and if there are problems, come and fix it quickly. | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
These are amongst the companies chosen to clean, connect and recycle | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
water. Contracts with Anglian Water that could last the next 15 years. | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
The deal is that they use them 15 years to really collaborate across | :09:50. | :09:59. | |
the supply chain and to innovate. ?1.3 billion of investment, that is | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
a massive opportunity to innovate in order to do things differently. A | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
deal that over the next five years would see ?44 million spent | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
protecting homes from flooding, ?117 million on a new treatment works and | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
more than 70 million spent connecting new homes to sewers and | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
mains. For this factory in Huntingdon, a renewed contract. The | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
length of pipes it supplied to Anglian Water last year would | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
stretch 250 miles. That is Norwich to Newcastle or Cambridge to | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
Carlisle. We like to connect with the fact that we share the same | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
community. They are on our doorstep. We think that is good for us. It | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
gives us some future certainty for our investment plans and it is only | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
a positive thing for us. Near Whittlesea, they are replacing old | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
mains. 189 million litres of water leak from Anglian's pipes in our | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
region everyday. That is well within industry guidelines. That is the old | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
main. It has been down here for more than 50 years or so. There has been | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
a number of bursts in this area. They are replacing it with this, a | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
brand`new main. They have laid more than five kilometres. It is an | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
ongoing job for the contractors. How sewers in this region are maintained | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
has caused some concern with the industry watchdog. But Anglian Water | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
say they are investing and lowering bills. | :11:21. | :11:29. | |
That's all from me. Let's re`join Stewart in St Ives in Cambridgeshire | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
where the UK Independence Party is staging an election rally. | :11:33. | :11:47. | |
Welcome back to Saint Ives, where the UK Independence Party are | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
holding this political public meeting. There has been some concern | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
about who might turn up. Apparently a Mr Adolf Hitler applied for | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
tickets to come this evening and security is quite tight as you walk | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
around the building. Over the last few years, the political map has | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
been changing dramatically. We have been speaking this week to party | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
leaders from all of the major parties. We have had the Prime | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
Minister, the Leader of the Opposition on the programme and | :12:18. | :12:19. | |
tonight, we will be is beginning to Nigel Farage, the leader of UKIP. As | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
I say, they have come a long way since the last election. `` we will | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
be speaking to. During election time, it is not | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
unusual to see a lot of these in the Cambridgeshire countryside. But this | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
year, the posters of another party are very much in evidence. UKIP is | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
fast becoming mainstream, particularly in this region. It now | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
has councillors on authorities in Cambridgeshire, Essex and Norfolk, | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
having a say in how our local services are run. So no surprise | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
that the UKIP leader should choose to end his UK tour here. The plan | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
had been for Nigel Farage to do a walkabout in St Ives town centre but | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
it was cancelled after yesterday's incident, when an egg was thrown at | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
him in the Midlands. St Ives was the birthplace of another nonconformist | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
leader. And here, as in many other parts of the Fens, the UKIP message | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
has gone down well. The party won a seat here in last year's County | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
Council elections. In this bistro this afternoon, no shortage of views | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
on UKIP and his leader. I hope he gets every seat. It's the best thing | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
since sliced bread. If they do all the things they say they are going | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
to do, it will be good for everybody. He is saying a lot of | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
things but is it going to happen? That's the thing. You're not | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
convinced? No. I think the people are attracted to Nigel Farage | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
because they are disillusioned with other politicians. The party's main | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
aim is to take us out of the European Union. But whenever senior | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
Conservatives visit the region, they keep making the same point. It is a | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
policy UKIP cannot deliver without a majority at Westminster. A vote for | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
UKIP is a vote for the status quo. It is a vote for a grumpy reaction | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
to the EU without actually saying let's be serious about it. In | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
politics, they often talk about parties having momentum. And at the | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
moment, UKIP has momentum. It is getting noticed. It is winning local | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
council seats. If the opinion polls are to be believed, it could come | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
second, perhaps even first, in these Euro elections. | :14:19. | :14:29. | |
As I say, the reason we have come here this evening is to come here | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
and have an interview with the leader of UKIP, Nigel Farage. He has | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
been very busy doing lots of radio and television interviews. I saw him | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
posing with a painter Nissan for a photograph for the New York Times. | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
When I sat down with him, I wanted to know what you get means for the | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
region and whether we did not need to be in Europe to be successful. `` | :14:52. | :14:58. | |
with a pint of there in his hand. No other place in the world to people | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
need to be on political union to do business. China sells quite a lot of | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
goods into Britain and the rest of the European Union without being a | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
member of. Are our links from this region with European businesses | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
importing? Of course. Are there were links between this region and rest | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
of the world important? You bet they are. As every year goes by, we are | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
doing less with Europe and more with the rest of the world. My mother and | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
father voted in a referendum 40 years ago for us to be in a common | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
market. In some ways, what UKIP is saying that the common market that | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
was sold to us, that it is just about trade, is a very good idea. | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
What do you say to businesses like how you and I and in Cambridge | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
people who have very close dealings with high`tech European industry, | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
who say that if we come out of the EU we will lose business you and I | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
say it will put up barriers. It is ridiculous. Look at it. Whilst we | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
manufacture and sell motor cars into Europe, they do the same. You might | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
have noticed. There are quite a few Mercedes and BMWs and Audis on | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
Britain's roads. Actually, they celebrate her brother is in cars per | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
year than we sell them. If I work for`die and they say that they might | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
go somewhere else if people at... I would be careful. That is not very | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
reassuring. There are some of these big international companies who said | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
that 12 years ago they would leave the country is Britain did not join | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
the euro. You need to have the Halo factory and other places in | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
Cambridge to get a job, they needed to be there. Well, why did they not | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
going to a political union with China and Japan? These arguments are | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
ludicrous. They are outdated and are being pushed by a few big | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
international industries to try to maintain the status quo. A lot of | :16:52. | :16:53. | |
big companies like the European Union. It makes it difficult for | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
small and medium`sized competitors to come up. What would you say to | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
those people who grow fruit and those people who grow fruit and | :17:04. | :17:05. | |
vegetables in defence who employ a lot of workers from Eastern Europe | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
and say they cannot get the same quality and reliability of work | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
here? If they genuinely need those foreign workers then they should be | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
given work permits to come to this country and do those jobs. | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
Unfortunately, under European rules, those workers can come here, | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
qualifying for in work benefits on day one, such as child benefit, they | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
can bring their families, who can go to the local primary schools and use | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
the local hospitals, and there is almost nowhere the whole country | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
that has seen as big a population change as eastern England over the | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
cast of the last few years. `` over the course. I remember you coming on | :17:44. | :17:50. | |
and shouting rather you had people in the local councils with no | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
political experience. Some of those have not done new much credit. One | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
to have not but it literally is one too. In the name, if you look at how | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
they have performed, particularly here in the East, we have | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
radicalised the way that County Council is one in Cambridge and | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
Norfolk. We have blown apart this secretive form of Cabinet government | :18:13. | :18:14. | |
and open it up to committee government. That is a magnificent | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
achievement. Have one question by police over shoplifting, one who has | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
been in trouble for benefit fraud, somebody under investigation for a | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
little fraud. Have you seen the number of Conservatives, labour and | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
Lib Dems over the past year that have been convicted, suspended, put | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
up for the standards? If you want to boil British politics down to who | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
has got the worst supporters or who has been new most let down by their | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
grassroots activists or counsellors, it is a zero`sum. What about the | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
counsellor in Cambridge are branding children in care homes as takers? I | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
don't know who he is. Councillor Gordon Gillett. I have heard of the | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
name. I am not here to defend every outburst. You would not accept that | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
as reasonable? Of course I would not. Every political party, and | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
particularly in the age of new media, we are on Facebook and | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
Twitter related makes people feel all sorts of incredibly stupid | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
things... I have been very clear over the course of the last year | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
that where people have done things that have supported extremism or | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
deep intolerance, I have got rid of them. I have picked out of the party | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
and I will go on doing that. If we look at your candidates for the | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
European elections, they are all male, of a certain age, | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
middle`class. No woman. Use 24, the other one is 28, there are very | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
young, I except that. There are no woman! The remarkable thing is that | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
the Eastern region is an exception. If we go next door to the West | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
Midlands, the top of the list is a woman. Yorkshire, the top of the | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
list is a woman. These Midlands, the second on the list is a woman. In my | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
area, in the south east, four of the top six are woman. We are worried! | :20:08. | :20:18. | |
You have upset the others by this leaflet. Dude, I sneezed. Thank you. | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
Thank you. Later, we will get the thoughts on a | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
very busy week of campaigning for all of the parties from Andrew | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
Sinclair. For now, let's turn our attention to sport. It is a big | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
weekend as far as horse racing is concerned. Tom Williams reports. | :20:38. | :20:46. | |
Thank you. 30,000 racegoers are expected here this weekend and as an | :20:47. | :20:54. | |
added bonus, for visitors is this, an exhibition celebrating the life | :20:55. | :20:56. | |
and career officer Henry Cecil. There are all sorts of photos. This | :20:57. | :21:06. | |
is a medal that the Queen presented to him when he was knighted three | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
years ago. Amy is from the racecourse. What a treat. We are | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
hugely honoured to be hosting this exhibition. He was such a character | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
in it is great to be here to tell the stories, not least this dagger, | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
that was presented by Sheikh when he won the 1996 Dubai Championship | :21:26. | :21:32. | |
stakes. As he was presented the dagger, Henry playfully turned it | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
round, to which Sheikh Mohamed el`Arfat in it to playfully stabbed | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
him in with the dagger. Great artefact along with many others. | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
Let's take a closer look at what this means to Newmarket. | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
Much has changed since the first running of the Guineas in 1814 but | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
the quintessentially English feeling remains. Formal dress, free`flowing | :21:52. | :21:53. | |
champagne. So attractive is the classic that for the first time, the | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
Spanish have arrived. Well, he is a horse who was bred in Spain. He has | :21:58. | :22:03. | |
showed plenty of ability in Spain and in France. He was second in a | :22:04. | :22:12. | |
group one. So we wanted to try to bring him here to see how he goes. | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
Away from the track, the locals are making final preparations ahead of | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
the weekend that can double their trade. Everyone comes here. | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
Newmarket trebles inside and suddenly you have so many people | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
here all wanting to eat, drink and have fun. It is party time. It is | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
like Las Vegas but in Newmarket. Love it. And it would not be racing | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
without the bookies. A roaring trade for them also, some say bigger than | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
the national. But they never give too much away. It gets a buzz about. | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
It is good for the town... And also for the betting shops. But they all | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
take their business, they all go up a notch, if you like, when it comes | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
along. The prize is up to ?1.3 million. That's bucket loads of | :22:55. | :23:06. | |
Euros. It is every trainer's claim to be | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
walking up these steps into the winner's enclosure, articulately | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
this weekend. What a weekend in store. You're looking forward to | :23:15. | :23:20. | |
some world`class horse racing. The first were run over 200 years ago, a | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
great heritage. Without doubt, the most prestigious race of their type | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
in the world. Whatever wins the 2000 Guineas on Saturday, it will | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
interest on instantly be worth is mythic and fun. I hope it goes well. | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
I way from this there are two major unresolved issues in the regular | :23:41. | :23:42. | |
football season. Northampton need a point to guarantee safety in League | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
Two. And wouldn't you know it, the Cobblers are up against the | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
manager's former club Oxford. Massing Kaplan on the last day of | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
the season. We don't want anything bad, drastic, ridiculous to happen | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
on Saturday. It is the ones that handle the pressure and produce | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
performances that will survive and we are confident that we can do | :24:03. | :24:04. | |
that. And it's all about survival too for | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
Norwich. They're up against Chelsea. Norwich are in the Premier League | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
relegation zone after losing five games in a row. Two to play. | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
Well done to Darren Ferguson. He's won the manager of the month award | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
in League One for securing Peterborough a play`off spot. | :24:18. | :24:25. | |
It is sure to be an exciting weekend. Who is your money on? | :24:26. | :24:32. | |
Thank you very much, Tom. Of course a Bank Holiday weekend so we need to | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
find out about the weather. You will be pleasantly surprised. | :24:36. | :24:44. | |
All week we have been peddling the story of fine weather for our bank | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
weekend and it looks like it will be good. At the moment, high pressure | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
building from the North. This has meant a much cooler day and he cold | :24:53. | :24:55. | |
me is going to follow. When we switched to wind the road to a | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
southerly direction by Saturday and Sunday it will mean much warmer | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
temperatures by the time we get to Bank Holiday Monday. You can expect | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
a dry Bank Holiday weekend. It will be quite a chilly start but sunny | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
spells and a little bit cloudy. Really not bad at all. The satellite | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
image shows that we are starting to lose the clouds. Under clear skies | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
tonight it will mean a cold night. Colder than recently and pretty cold | :25:21. | :25:23. | |
for this time of year, in fact. We will get our winds dropping | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
lighter. The skies clear right across the board by the of the | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
night. We could be in for a touch of ground frost in places. Temperatures | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
between one and three Celsius but those frost prone sports might even | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
get down below freezing. It is a bit of a short`lived frost but certainly | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
into the early hours tomorrow morning, it will be a chilly start. | :25:45. | :25:47. | |
Four counties like Norfolk and Suffolk, it may stay a bit cloudy | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
through tomorrow, with the northerly winds. Elsewhere, brighter with some | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
for his belt. `` with some sunny spells. For the afternoon we will | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
see increasing amounts of sunshine. Be aware if you live in places like | :26:03. | :26:05. | |
Norfolk and Suffolk that you might find it stays of other cloudy. | :26:06. | :26:08. | |
Looking ahead, this is our pressure for the rest of the weekend. High | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
pressure just about hanging on. By Monday it pushes to the East as this | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
weather front approaches. It should not spoil things for money. In fact, | :26:18. | :26:20. | |
Monday looks pretty good. For Sunday, a little bit of cloud around | :26:21. | :26:27. | |
at times. Temperatures may well claim to 15. By Monday, they could | :26:28. | :26:34. | |
be up to 17 degrees. Sunny spells. As for Tuesday, it is looking like | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
it will turn increasingly cloudy through the day, with a chance of | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
rain later. Not going to spoil things for our Bank Holiday. Tonight | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
is a cold night and tomorrow night also made just bring a touch of | :26:49. | :26:55. | |
ground frost. You will be in shock. | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
Thank you very much indeed. Andrew Sinclair is with me as promised and | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
this marks the end of a very busy week of campaigning. The Prime | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
Minister in Colchester, Ed Miliband was in Cambridge and we had Nick | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
Clegg last Thursday. You know, there was a time during a lecture that the | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
party leaders never came to the East because they took all our votes for | :27:18. | :27:19. | |
granted. They do not any more and that is partly because of this lot. | :27:20. | :27:22. | |
They have thrown a spanner in the works. It is interesting because the | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
main parties fear that this is mainly a protest vote, not about | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
Europe. When it comes to a serious election about who governs a | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
country, people will vote for serious parties. They said that last | :27:37. | :27:38. | |
year about the local elections and it did not happen. | :27:39. | :27:40. | |
Thank you very much. Good night. Men are even less tolerant of women | :27:41. | :28:06. | |
than they were before. It's shocking it'd happen | :28:07. | :28:07. | |
in a public place. I don't find it funny, | :28:08. | :28:12. | |
but I don't find it offensive. It really is vile. | :28:13. | :28:14. | |
Shock value sells. Men are even less tolerant of women | :28:15. | :28:16. | |
than they were before. The hatred of women. | :28:17. | :28:20. | |
Some people are offended. Others think women | :28:21. | :28:22. | |
should just man up. and even misogyny | :28:23. | :28:24. | |
socially acceptable? Join me, Kirsty Wark, | :28:25. | :28:29. | |
as I investigate... | :28:30. | :28:32. |
