pleasant in the south-west where the winds are that bit lighter. That is

it. Goodbye. Hello and welcome to Look E`st.

Stay with us for the next h`lf hour for a round`up of the day's news

where you are and the forec`st. In the headlines tonight..

Extra police patrols drafted in as football fans head for the pubs

for England's first World Ctp game. The husband of tennis star Dlena

Baltacha remembers the good times We will be giving out the mdssage

The husband of tennis star Dlena Baltacha remembers the good times

and looks forward to her lasting legacy.

This is exactly what she wotld've wanted to see, all these chhldren

there enjoying themselves. And I will be reporting frol

Bedford, where fans are getting ready for the World Cup match

between England and Italy. We will be giving out the mdssage

that people should go out, dnjoy Extra police are being drafted in

across the region this weekdnd to make sure there is no trouble when

England play the first game in the World Cup. The match against Italy

will be played at 11 o'clock tomorrow night. Thousands of fans

in Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk are expected to watch the g`me in

local pubs. The police say they are prepared to do what is needdd to

keep the risk of alcohol`related There will be a big crowd about

tomorrow night and there lilited expectations of what England can do,

with the World Cup excitement yet to build. The flags of many nations

growing up in the square. Lhttle sign of World Cup fever. It will

soon pick up, hopefully. If England do well on Saturday? Yes, I would

probably sell out then, but I do not imagine them doing well. I can live

with it or not live with it. It leaves me tepid. Everyone sdems to

have forgotten that is a grdat big game on. Come on England! Some

companies have made a big effort to make a splash. It will be a big

night for many pubs in the region, when England kick off their campaign

at 11 o'clock in the evening. It is going to be huge. Saturday night is

generally busy anyway. It could be manic. We will see how it goes.

There's an expectation that people come together and drink a f`ir

amount of alcohol and enjoy the football. That is great. But people

need to keep a check of thehr need to keep a check of thehr

emotions. If they are doing well, they may be in a good mood `nd of

the doing badly, and a bad lood We just need to make sure thesd moods

are kept in check so we do not problems. A decade ago, there was a

major confrontation between English and Portuguese supporters. The

police know feel the tension of a migrant communities has easdd. The

peaceful heart of knowledge changes character at night. But drinking

into the early hours, with the passions of football added to the

mix, police will be on hand to make sure there is no trouble. The

landlord of the problem is with me now, what do you think it whll be

like tomorrow night? Hopefully, it will be a great atmosphere `nd

everyone will enjoy themselves. Great for business? Yes, thdre has

been a lot of doom and glool, so we are hoping that this will cheer

everyone up. What about the worry about trouble? We do not have a

client base which cause trotble We are not expecting any trouble. Most

of the people in year out whth other people they know. We think dveryone

will come in and fix enjoy themselves. I do not think the

excitement has really built. What do you think? I think we have to wait

until we play our first gamd. I think if we get a result ag`inst

Italy, everyone will get very excited. I'm optimistic are you

Well, I am always optimistic, but no European team has won in Sotth

America, so I do not want to be too optimistic.

The Colchester Hospital Trust say a member of staff has been suspended

following allegations of bullying and harassment. An investig`tion

is underway. The allegations also involve claims that the waiting list

in endoscopy and dermatologx was manipulated.

A prisoner who absconded from Hollesley Bay in Suffolk has been

found in Amsterdam. Jak Marku is serving time for importing drugs.

He disappeared in March aftdr being given leave to go home to Mhddlesex.

The 25`year`old is being held by the Dutch police.

Health minister Norman Lamb has given another undertaking to improve

mental health care in Norfolk and Suffolk. His promise follows more

trouble for the NHS Trust providing mental health card in the

in the two counties.

A public consultation has recently uncovered fears th`t

patients are at risks and there are claims that managers are fahling in

their legal duty of care because of a lack of beds.

Denise still has the pits hdr husband used to look after before

the kick became ill. When hd is at home, you have to look after them,

because that is the person xou love more than anyone else in thd world.

But knowing how it was and how he became its just awful. Dementia has

taken away her husband. The police found on the railway line, which

could have had a disastrous result and that is when something had to be

done. One consolation is th`t he is no safe and secure nearby. He

receives is clear here. Last year, two wards were closed. They were

also a geek into was caused, with the loss of 30 jobs. The wards

remain open, but the question is, Hove for how much longer. It is all

part of reorganisation of the hill services in the county. Thex are

trying to save ?40 million over the years. The hospital trust s`id in a

statement: A meeting on the public consultation

will be held later this month. The final decision is due in December.

It is like having this hanghng over your head. You try and put ht in

your mind until we hear a ddcision, but how can you you not think about

it. What would your message the health minister? Instead of

complaining and passing the buck, he is the one he has to make it happen.

Instead of trying to say, wd need to save ?20 million. The peopld with

health diseases cannot stand up and say, I need help. We need to do that

for them. I have been looking at ways of trying to get extra money

for mental health services. I am arguing the case across the country

and it is having results with mental health getting treated equally as

importantly as physical health. I will do everything I can within our

power, but with a decentralhsed system which has existed for a long

time before this government came into power, it is important that

decisions get made at local level. There will be more from Deborah

McGurran and the politics tdam in The Sunday Politics at 11 o?clock on

BBC One on Sunday morning. Police in Essex say their c`mpaign

against domestic abuse has `lready reached more than four millhon

people. Standing Together w`s officially launched on Mond`y. They

say this film has been watched across the world, via Twittdr.

Facebook and the media. This week, the police said they were pttting on

more patrols because domesthc violence increases dramatic`lly

during the World Cup. Research has shown that, when England lose,

violent incidents increase by 3 % and rven when England win,

attacks increase by 26%. About 300 members of the Liberal

Democrats are meeting in Calbridge tonight to vote on a possible vote

of no confidence in their ldader Nick Clegg. The ballot was called

following the party's poor performance in the European

and local elections. These are the cheers which have been

haunting the Liberal Democr`ts since the local elections. It was the

moment Labour boosted them from power and took over from control in

Cambridge City Council. Somd of them have openly been asking that the

party leader needs to step down Unfortunately, he is so unpopular

with some people that the d`mages those causes when he advocates them.

That is why I signed the letter I do not think he can be the party

leader when such a big chunk of the electorate are not giving you a

hearing. The parties perforlance in the European elections was dven

worse. And another Cambridgd MP could lose the seat next ye`r if

Nick Clegg remains the leaddr. In light of this, local members have

called it an emergency meethng. There has been a lot of discussion

amongst activists who were campaigning in the European and

local elections. As an execttive, we think we need to Ansar to them and

we want a 300 of them to take part in a reasoned discussion. If you

have a rapport with cylinder, I think you are halfway there. It is

more about what they stand for the one who the leader is. You need a

leader to have some sort of charisma. He is the face of the

party. They try and put in ` good`looking guy here to get votes,

but they do not think it works. So, this evening, Liberal Democrats in

Cambridge will decide whethdr or not Clegg is still the for them.

Still to come tonight, we look forward to the England against Italy

match and after a few one d`ys of weather, it will be cool and cloudy

at the weekend, but it is not all bad news.

Stars from the world of tenniswill take part in a special event this

weekend in memory of Elena Baltacha. The Rally For Bally will rahse money

for a cancer charity and for the Elena Baltacha Academy in Ipswich.

Elena died in May from liver cancer. She was just 30 years old. @ few

weeks before she died, she larried her former coach Nino Severhno. With

the rally this weekend. he wanted to tell Look East about Elena's legacy

She was the ultimate Warrior on court, citing the cruellest injuries

and conditions of that. She was such a strong individual. She wotld

battle through it. She did not know what it was like to have a healthy

liver. In Rome to around the other two

women, her back would go. She was having to take tablets for her back,

her ankles. She never made ` big deal of it. She never said `nything

about it in interviews. She would just wake up and get on with it But

it was horrendous. Can you remember much of the day Elena Baltacha that

was given the diagnosis? It was very difficult. It was very diffhcult. I

have never experienced something like that, some strength like that

any human being. To go throtgh something like that was horrible.

She had just retired and had so many amazing things at her feet. But we

were up against this fight, but she never once complained throughout the

whole ordeal. My big memory, I suppose, which was very important

for her was the Olympic year. She was so proud of this.

She actually bought the battle on and we keep it in the officd on

display. There are lots of pictures of her holding her since shd is just

like a little girl. When you play tennis, it is

important that you have quick hands, so here is a way you can pr`ctice at

home. One of her biggest supporters was Judy Murray. The Federation cup

captain was very important `nd she is also the patron of Elena Baltacha

the Academy in Ipswich. She was so well liked and respected through the

tennis world and you can sed that from everyone who has turned up We

want to do whatever we can to see she is remembered and has a legacy

and that this academy which was so dear to her heart survives `nd size.

It will do as long as we ard in to help.

This is exactly what she wotld've wanted to see, lots and lots of

children's girls and boys are children's girls and boys are

children that she would've picked herself. For nearly all the children

Her legacy, what do you think it will be? She helped so many children

that would not have had a chance in serious tennis. The the reaction has

been incredible. That has m`de a big difference. It is something that me

and the other trustees will do to help fight for the future of the

Academy. A reminder, the Rally for B`lly will

take place this Sunday. Andx Murray, Tim Henman and Martina Navr`tilova

are just some of the stars taking part. The mixed doubles will happen

after the finals at Queen's Club in After incredible success last year

with the Britten centenary, Aldeburgh Music is hoping to pull

off another big hit this sulmer The 67th annual festival will fdature a

Music Circus, when musicians from different backgrounds get together

to play different music at the same What I need you to do is just

increase the volume. The choir take last`minute advice while others do a

final tune`up. For some, it is all in a days work. Across the region,

performance have come together to join this fantastic musical

tapestry. It should be incrddible, all those people coming togdther.

When I have the premise that you would not hear one thing, you will

flowing. They will play for two flowing. They will play for two

hours together at the same time The dab hand at the piano is thd

festival director. He will start them off. On June the 22nd, they

will be joined by some of the best orchestras.

We started doing one read on and then we were told we were doing two

and then we were told we were putting it all together. Ard you

nervous? Sort of. Here is the organiser. Is this organised chaos?

I would like to think it is organised. The roots of the festival

are spiritual lead based. L`st year, the highlight was the opener on the

beach. Hard to beat, so thex are doing it differently this ydar. It

is nice to share an event whth the community that amateurs,

professionals, people from `ll generations can come togethdr. The

festival starts tonight and this musical adventure is in just nine

days time. Full details of the festival can be

found on the website. Back to the World Cup now and the

talking is nearly over. Steve Gerrard will lead the England team

out against Italy tomorrow night, cheered on across the region. In

Bedford, though, some of those fans might be cheering for the other

side. Bedford is said to have the biggest

Italian population outside London. Some 20,000 people of Itali`n

origin. They came in big nulbers after the war to work in thd

brickworks and stayed. I have very happy memories of being in Bedford

in 2006 when Italy won the World Cup and today, I have been back to take

a trip down memory lane. I have come to see an old brick

friend at the hairdresser. How are you! We still first met in 2006

when Italy won the World Cup. He still kicks every ball and hs

looking forward to the game on Saturday night. What do you think

the result will be? I think it will be a draw. Neither side wants to

lose the first match. Karel owns the pizza restaurant and when Italy beat

Germany in the semifinal, the place went wild.

Today, they have moved into the town centre, but the pizzas are still

pretty good. He remembers how Italy went on to

beat France on penalties in the final. The penalty was scordd, Italy

won the World Cup and it was chaos. They were out in the streets

celebrating for two or thred hours. A lovely time. I also remember being

in club Italia matinee, tucked away in the back streets. Coffee, cards

and table football. England versus Italy, of course.

And guess what, we won. What a goal! 6`2. They are not quite exchte

expecting so much excitement tomorrow night. I am going to see at

a win. Back at the hairdresser, I get what he calls the full service,

but it is a very good hairctt. Like many of his shop, it will bd close

tomorrow night. By the magic of television, I am now in Norwich

outside the big screen which is currently showing the Mexic`n war

against Cameron game. Mexico are one go ahead with just a couple of

minutes to go. During the World Cup, you can get in touch with md during

it. I would love to see somd photographs from tomorrow nhght

wherever you are watching the game. Take a photograph and send ht to me

at the contact details below. Back to you.

Spare a thought for the England team tomorrow. They are expecting a

temperature of 28 Celsius when they start the match. Not only stiflingly

hot, but also very humid. They are kicking off at six o'clock local

time. At least the sun will just be setting, so it may get slightly

cooler. For us, we can expect cooler temperatures than today. We get

temperatures up to 24 Celsits today. Still fine into the day for many

people. High pressure is st`rting to move west and this will mean that

the forecast will change slhghtly. Northerly winds coming in to make

things a bit cool and cloudx over the next few days. Tonight, we have

got the chance of some showdrs developing, particularly for western

counties. They could be heavy and somebody. There is a greater risk

across the west of the region. Lots of places should stay dry overnight.

We start tomorrow with generally a lot more cloud alone. There is the

chance of one or two showers. Many places like dry, but there could be

breaks in the cloud to lose some sunshine in the afternoon.

than today. High temperaturds inland than today. High temperaturds inland

of 20 Celsius tomorrow. Will we get that sunshine back? The high

pressure begins to build back? The high pressure begins to build days

before we hit the high tempdratures of today. We start Sunday qtite

closely, with again the chance of a few breaks in the code to gdt some

sunshine. High temperatures similar to tomorrow. Next week starts with a

lot of cloud, but prospects of sunshine with temperatures beginning

to nudge up as we get into lidweek. It is a busy weekend for sport.

England are playing rugby, cricket, football and there is also the big

golf tournament in the Unitdd States. Whatever you are dohng, have

a good time. Goodbye for now. Make the most of your weekend,

wherever you are. Use the BBC Weather App to stay

one step ahead of the weather.
