:00:00. > :00:09.Chaos on the M11 after two people are killed in
:00:10. > :00:12.We'll have the very latest from the scene.
:00:13. > :00:15.The family of this woman who died in a hospice are calling
:00:16. > :00:22.for better communication about end of life care.
:00:23. > :00:31.Even though we know that they treated her respectfully, we were
:00:32. > :00:35.What can a photo tell you about your health?
:00:36. > :00:37.Find out how this one saved Gracie's life.
:00:38. > :00:52.And a very special guest comes to a sports day in Essex.
:00:53. > :00:56.Tonight, emergency crews are still working to
:00:57. > :01:04.re`open the M11 in Essex after two people died in a serious accident.
:01:05. > :01:15.It happened at 2:15pm, five vehicles crashed between junction seven and
:01:16. > :01:18.junction eight. There has been a huge emergency response. It is
:01:19. > :01:24.expected to be closed northbound until later this evening. We hope to
:01:25. > :01:30.cross to our reporter now. Are you there?
:01:31. > :01:36.Yes, what you are looking at is the northbound carriageway. Until a few
:01:37. > :01:43.minutes ago, there were many cars here who had been sitting here for
:01:44. > :01:47.four hours. Junction eight is just up that way. As you can see, the
:01:48. > :01:55.police are turning the lorries back down to send them back towards
:01:56. > :02:00.London. This is an accident involving several vehicles. There
:02:01. > :02:07.were three cars, a lorry and eight. I was further up the road and saw
:02:08. > :02:12.that the emergency services were still there. They have confirmed
:02:13. > :02:17.that two people have died, a further two have been taken to hospital with
:02:18. > :02:21.serious injuries. The tailback stretches for many miles and many
:02:22. > :02:27.people with sitting there for a long time, some people were missing their
:02:28. > :02:35.flights from the airport. One man told me what he saw earlier.
:02:36. > :02:40.It looks like a bonfire, it did not look like a car. There were flames
:02:41. > :02:48.going into the air. There was another car which did log as if it
:02:49. > :02:58.had been through the crusher. Do we know Wendy will reopen? ``
:02:59. > :03:04.when the carriageway will reopen? Heading towards London is open, the
:03:05. > :03:11.northbound side is shot. They are telling us that it could be shut
:03:12. > :03:16.until two IM. This is causing disruption into the night.
:03:17. > :03:19.The family of a woman with cancer who died
:03:20. > :03:22.in a hospice say there is an urgent need for better communication
:03:23. > :03:27.Andrea West was diagnosed with cancer of the cervix in 2011.
:03:28. > :03:30.Doctors thought she could live for up to two years.
:03:31. > :03:32.In September 2012, she was taken to a hospice
:03:33. > :03:36.in Norwich for "symptom control", basically to help with pain relief.
:03:37. > :03:38.Four days later, she had what doctors called
:03:39. > :03:47.Arriving at Norfolk Coroner's Court, Andrea West's mother and sister had
:03:48. > :03:52.It's been 20 months since Andrea West died at Priscilla Bacon Lodge.
:03:53. > :03:56.The family had called for an inquest after complaining the mother of six
:03:57. > :04:00.had been put on end of life care and been given a morphine overdose.
:04:01. > :04:03.But that view was rejected at the hearing.
:04:04. > :04:10.Clearly distressed, Andrea West's mother felt she still
:04:11. > :04:19.The assistant coroner said that she had died of natural causes. He said
:04:20. > :04:22.that there was no evidence of morphine overdose and that all drugs
:04:23. > :04:38.There are things that I have asked about that we have not been told
:04:39. > :04:43.about. We asked what was her prognosis and I was told it was
:04:44. > :04:51.weeks rather than months. We know that they treated her respectfully,
:04:52. > :04:56.we were not informed or called. The evidence showed in court shows
:04:57. > :05:03.that they've provided the best care to her at the end of her life. We
:05:04. > :05:05.were further assured by comments by the family's solicitor that she
:05:06. > :05:09.This picture of Andrea was taken at the hospice shortly
:05:10. > :05:13.Medical staff said they believed her cancer had caused
:05:14. > :05:22.The coroner agreed this was the most likely explanation.
:05:23. > :05:31.It is a woman who went into hospital for symptom control and guide of a
:05:32. > :05:39.catastrophic event and it was not communicated to the family. I think
:05:40. > :05:45.the end of life care information should be extended to hospitals.
:05:46. > :05:51.Do you think that people should have more communication? Definitely. You
:05:52. > :06:00.plan a course of what you were doing it day by day. Why are we not told?
:06:01. > :06:03.Andrea West told her family she'd wanted to stay alive as long
:06:04. > :06:05.as possible for the sake of her young children.
:06:06. > :06:08.Her death has highlighted the way terminally ill patients are
:06:09. > :06:11.Phil McCarvill is from the charity Marie Curie Cancer Care.
:06:12. > :06:14.Today, they published some new research into end of life care.
:06:15. > :06:18.One of the findings is people really don't like talking about death.
:06:19. > :06:30.I think for many people it is a difficult subject. It is one that we
:06:31. > :06:35.do not necessarily talk to our families about and we do not want to
:06:36. > :06:39.think about. We all have to deal with death during our lives and for
:06:40. > :06:40.some people it is the fear of the unknown and the fear of what will
:06:41. > :06:45.happen to us that is deterring us. happen to us that is deterring us.
:06:46. > :06:50.But the reality is, when you start to talk to people, they will rarely
:06:51. > :06:56.talk to you about dying. What difference will it make? I
:06:57. > :07:00.think, in terms of the individual, if we can get people to talk about
:07:01. > :07:04.what they want, they are more likely to die in a place of their choice
:07:05. > :07:08.with the right level of pain relief and with the people around that they
:07:09. > :07:14.want to have and the interventions that they want to have.
:07:15. > :07:19.We have heard a lot on this programme about families who were
:07:20. > :07:26.not told about the care pathway, about patients who were not told
:07:27. > :07:31.that there were on the care pathway. It is important and there has been a
:07:32. > :07:37.report released today that was funded by our charity that looks at
:07:38. > :07:41.hospital care for people who dying. One of the clear issues that it
:07:42. > :07:46.identifies is that there is an issue about communication.
:07:47. > :07:49.Do we expect too much about our nurses and doctors? They are there
:07:50. > :07:55.to make us better, should we expect them to tell us when we are dying.
:07:56. > :07:59.It is one of the challenges that we have. They are there to make us
:08:00. > :08:05.better. But the reality is, a proportion of their work with people
:08:06. > :08:09.who are in the last few weeks of life. It is important that they
:08:10. > :08:15.still see death and dying as part of their job, that we support them and
:08:16. > :08:18.their hospital support them to have the right communication skills and
:08:19. > :08:22.the right levels of training so that they can deliver the training that
:08:23. > :08:29.they need. Looking at the research, how is our
:08:30. > :08:33.region doing? I think, across the region, there is a variation. One of
:08:34. > :08:39.the challenges is for the hospital boards to sit down and see whether
:08:40. > :08:42.they are in terms of performance and compare it to similar hospitals in
:08:43. > :08:47.similar areas with similar populations to make sure that they
:08:48. > :08:50.are not lagging behind and it is only by looking at that performance
:08:51. > :08:54.that we can really get that performance up to the level of care
:08:55. > :08:59.that we expect and that we need in the last days of life.
:09:00. > :09:03.A man and a woman arrested in connection with the fatal stabbing
:09:04. > :09:05.at a birthday party in Norfolk have been bailed pending further
:09:06. > :09:07.inquiries. Connor Barrett, who was 20, was
:09:08. > :09:10.attacked on Saturday night in Hemsby. A 17`year` old arrested on
:09:11. > :09:13.suspicion of murder remains in police custody.
:09:14. > :09:17.A man's gone on the run after smashing a van into police cars in
:09:18. > :09:21.People are being warned to stay away from Mark Box.
:09:22. > :09:24.He's wanted in connection with the theft of thousands of pounds
:09:25. > :09:31.worth of shotguns and rifles taken from Basildon in April.
:09:32. > :09:34.A woman in her 30s arrested on suspicion of assaulting a resident
:09:35. > :09:38.at an Essex care home has already been dismissed by the company. The
:09:39. > :09:41.arrest follows a BBC Panorama investigation which appeared to show
:09:42. > :09:43.residents at the Old Deanery in Braintree being bullied and
:09:44. > :09:46.humiliated. The woman's been released on police bail. Seven staff
:09:47. > :09:52.members have been sacked from the home since the broadcast. After the
:09:53. > :09:55.The Essex coroner has raised concerns about the design
:09:56. > :09:57.of a hotel swimming pool where a couple drowned.
:09:58. > :10:00.Komba Kpakiwa and Josephine Foday were found dead at the
:10:01. > :10:02.down hall country house hotel at Hatfield Heath last April.
:10:03. > :10:06.The family say they want an apology and haven't ruled out legal action.
:10:07. > :10:22.Person`mac, who was 31 and was married with two children, went to
:10:23. > :10:27.the hotel with Josephine. It was meant to be a celebration of her
:10:28. > :10:31.birthday, but it went wrong. There went to the hotel pool, although it
:10:32. > :10:37.is understood that neither of them could swim. Another guest saw them
:10:38. > :10:45.struggling but thought it was just a game. They drowned. A ruling was
:10:46. > :10:50.given of accidental death. It was said that there were concerns
:10:51. > :10:55.about the design of the swimming pool, which had sloping sides and a
:10:56. > :11:01.deep end. His brothers and sisters have been
:11:02. > :11:06.in court drought. They heard and `` evidence that the pool sloped to
:11:07. > :11:14.steeply and there was no lifeguard and there was no working CCTV.
:11:15. > :11:18.If there was and someone monitoring the poor, they could have gone there
:11:19. > :11:32.to rescue both of them. The hotel pool has closed and there
:11:33. > :11:36.is no plans to open it. His sister wants them to apologise and they
:11:37. > :11:44.have not ruled out legal action. He is our family, we are missing
:11:45. > :11:50.him. There is nothing we can do. He is gone.
:11:51. > :11:53.Today, the council who is responsible for health and save the
:11:54. > :11:57.at the hotel, said it had already carried out a full investigation of
:11:58. > :12:09.stop it will now decide whether or not to bring legal proceedings.
:12:10. > :12:20.Still to come tonight, a sports day with a difference, with a double
:12:21. > :12:33.Olympic medal winner attending. And we will talk to Damon Hill as they
:12:34. > :12:43.celebrate 40 years at Silverstone. Childhood I can say is very rare,
:12:44. > :12:47.just 50 year `` cases a year. The family of Gracie had no idea
:12:48. > :12:54.anything was wrong until they posted a photograph on social media.
:12:55. > :12:59.This was Gracie with her baby sister. A friend said that her I did
:13:00. > :13:08.not look right and that she could be killed. She was, she has eye cancer.
:13:09. > :13:13.`` that she was poorly. They are now giving support to the charity.
:13:14. > :13:18.So special that every six months the specialist makes her a new one.
:13:19. > :13:19.Perfectly painted her brilliant blue.
:13:20. > :13:22.Soon, she'll be old enough to have an eye that moves.
:13:23. > :13:36.This one is plastic. They take it out and then they wash it. Then they
:13:37. > :13:40.put it back in and then it feels good.
:13:41. > :13:45.At school in Northampton, four year old Gracie is no different.
:13:46. > :13:54.We have two make sure that she is in a position where she is seeing
:13:55. > :14:00.clearly and during reading, I am aware of what she can see and what
:14:01. > :14:03.she is reading, but other than that, Gracie is just like all the other
:14:04. > :14:07.It was this snap that raised alarm bells.
:14:08. > :14:10.A friend on social media spotted that Gracie's eye looked different.
:14:11. > :14:12.In fact she had stage four retinoblastoma.
:14:13. > :14:16.So serious, the eye had to be removed.
:14:17. > :14:27.It is traumatic to lose an eye. To me, it was heartbreaking, because
:14:28. > :14:32.that is something that I have looked at since she was born. It is a very
:14:33. > :14:38.special bond is looking in their eyes. For me, it was a loss.
:14:39. > :14:41.For two years, the Hyland family has been supported
:14:42. > :14:45.They're now ambassadors for the charity, taking part
:14:46. > :14:57.Crucially with childhood eye cancer, it's about knowing the signs.
:14:58. > :15:07.A white reflection or red eye in a photograph.
:15:08. > :15:11.And early diagnosis is very important to make sure that they can
:15:12. > :15:16.get treatment quickly to save their life. It is a fast`growing cancer,
:15:17. > :15:23.so every week would make a difference.
:15:24. > :15:28.There are limits on Gracie's future, she is not allowed to be a truck
:15:29. > :15:39.driver or a pilot. She is not bothered, she wants to be a teacher
:15:40. > :15:45.just like her teacher. 64 years ago, there was something
:15:46. > :15:50.new in the sporting calendar. It was the very first Formula 1
:15:51. > :15:56.championship, it was held at Silverstone and the king was there.
:15:57. > :16:02.This year, they host their 50th Grand Prix. Everyone joined in the
:16:03. > :16:05.celebrations. Milestone birthdays are usually
:16:06. > :16:10.accompanied by special treats, and they had won its August and today. A
:16:11. > :16:16.collection of cars that took the flag on the circuit.
:16:17. > :16:23.It is like being a child on Christmas day. I am a big fan, I
:16:24. > :16:28.wish that I could drive all of them here. It is always nice to discover
:16:29. > :16:36.new things. This year's Silverstone celebrates
:16:37. > :16:43.50 years. This driver, plus Damon Hill, received lots of attention,
:16:44. > :16:49.but the old cars with the stars on the grid.
:16:50. > :16:55.This comedy 's debut in 1977, it was the worst Formula 1 car to be `` he
:16:56. > :17:02.first Formula 1 car to be turbo`charged. This won the 1991
:17:03. > :17:11.Grand Prix. This car one, and Damon Hill
:17:12. > :17:19.thrilled a legion of fans when he drove this to glory in 1996.
:17:20. > :17:23.Whilst his glory came in this car, tickets will be thin on the ground
:17:24. > :17:29.this summer if Lewis Hamilton continues to win.
:17:30. > :17:35.Every time Lewis wins, our tickets rise. We are very excited that he is
:17:36. > :17:40.winning. This season's cars don't sound
:17:41. > :17:48.anything like the classics. Whilst this car gave a short burst, the
:17:49. > :17:54.veterans would not be too pleased. He just drove the car and he broke
:17:55. > :17:59.it. It is 31 years old, I think it is just an oil leak.
:18:00. > :18:05.Fast and fragile, the winners back on the start line for old time's
:18:06. > :18:10.sake. I talked to Damon Hill and asked him
:18:11. > :18:16.whether being reunited with that car had taken him back in time.
:18:17. > :18:23.It certainly does. This is the car I won the championship in and I had a
:18:24. > :18:30.very intimate experience, you could call it, in this car. You become
:18:31. > :18:34.united with the car and you live out these intense experiences as a
:18:35. > :18:41.driver, winning the championship. What are your memories of the year
:18:42. > :18:47.that ended so brilliantly for you? There are so many. It is difficult
:18:48. > :18:54.to talk about it, but crossing the line after a tough season in Japan
:18:55. > :18:59.and getting out of the car and realising that I had done it. It was
:19:00. > :19:04.the best feeling in the world. Now you are at Silverstone for this
:19:05. > :19:10.special anniversary. Tell us about the circuit, because it has changed
:19:11. > :19:15.quite a lot. It has changed a lot, but it has retained its character is
:19:16. > :19:24.a challenging circuit. A lot of the new circuits are quite tight, this
:19:25. > :19:29.is one that is like an airfield, it pays back a driver who has a good
:19:30. > :19:34.engine. It is also surrounded by hundreds of thousands of fans who
:19:35. > :19:39.know everything about motor racing and will be there to support you if
:19:40. > :19:42.you win. I can imagine that that is very
:19:43. > :19:47.important. This year, looking at this season, another British driver
:19:48. > :19:51.doing extremely well. What you make about what has happened with Lewis
:19:52. > :19:57.Hamilton? Yes, it is a change around, for the
:19:58. > :20:03.last four years it was about Red Bull and Sebastian Vettel. Now
:20:04. > :20:07.Mercedes have got their act together. Lewis took a gamble, went
:20:08. > :20:12.to the Mercedes team, people thought he was mad, but they are very
:20:13. > :20:21.competitive this year. They are the best team and he is bracing with a
:20:22. > :20:27.very tight championship battle, and he will come to the British Grand
:20:28. > :20:30.Prix with an enormous amount of expectation and an opportunity to go
:20:31. > :20:36.closer to another world title will stop.
:20:37. > :20:45.And Red Bull not as dominant as they have been. Can they hit back? That
:20:46. > :20:48.is the big question. Renault have come out with something that is
:20:49. > :20:55.difficult to change in the middle of the season, but they are working
:20:56. > :20:59.very hard. It would be great if they could overcome their deficit and
:21:00. > :21:04.compete with Mercedes, just as they found wanting to see them race. But
:21:05. > :21:13.Lewis has the advantage and will encapsulate on that while he can.
:21:14. > :21:20.After the London Olympics, everyone was talking about the legacy. Today
:21:21. > :21:24.in Essex, there was a special games designed to carry on that Olympics
:21:25. > :21:31.momentum. Double medal winner Rebecca
:21:32. > :21:32.Adlington was the special guest, and the children had their own
:21:33. > :21:37.questions. She has had her success, but Rebecca
:21:38. > :21:41.Adlington is still bending over backwards to encourage the next
:21:42. > :21:46.generation to keep fit and have fun. It is what legacy games Day is all
:21:47. > :21:50.about. It is about getting everyone
:21:51. > :21:57.active. It is not about competition, it is about everyone
:21:58. > :22:02.playing with everyone, everyone is excited, which is great.
:22:03. > :22:08.I think so many people keep on saying what a legacy has there been
:22:09. > :22:13.from the games? That was the motto from London 2012. It is so difficult
:22:14. > :22:18.to judge, but things like this today, getting everyone involved, it
:22:19. > :22:21.is creating a legacy, which is the best thing.
:22:22. > :22:25.Now retired from swimming, she loves working with children who were as
:22:26. > :22:36.keen about discovering her life in the jungle.
:22:37. > :22:44.We had to eat a crocodile. I heard that you pee in the Paul. I
:22:45. > :22:51.do not always pee in the swimming pool.
:22:52. > :22:59.What was it like to meet her? It was really good. I was inspired by how
:23:00. > :23:04.she was dedicated to win. It was really amazing to meet her in
:23:05. > :23:10.real life. 1000 children from ten local
:23:11. > :23:15.schools. Organisers quick off the mark to exploit London's legacy.
:23:16. > :23:23.When I found out about winning the Olympics, which was fantastic, it
:23:24. > :23:33.was really for us to think about how it could engage or distant gauge ``
:23:34. > :23:36.disengaged children. It was about engaging all children in fun
:23:37. > :23:40.activities. It is great that they see that I am
:23:41. > :23:48.a normal person. I think some people think that athletes are super heroes
:23:49. > :23:58.and they ask what IE did. Ie to what they eat. We are all very normal. ``
:23:59. > :24:03.they ask what I eat. We want to get them all involved.
:24:04. > :24:10.It is the fourth of these legacy games to get children involved. With
:24:11. > :24:17.Rebecca's help, it is working. The boy in the Red Hat had a slow
:24:18. > :24:24.start, but he seemed to catch up. I think he won.
:24:25. > :24:32.It has been a beautiful day. A number of places got to 20 degrees.
:24:33. > :24:38.Places started at much colder temperatures. And the temperatures
:24:39. > :24:43.will go up, they will stay through the weekend, bringing warm and sunny
:24:44. > :24:47.weather. If you are thinking about plans for the weekend, it is looking
:24:48. > :24:51.warm and sunny. These satellite pictures show how much sunshine we
