from Brazil. That's

murders brought terror to the red light district of Ipswich experts

say there has been a big ch`nge in attitudes to prostitution. What we

had in Suffolk was a real tragedy and crisis and we responded. It

shows the power of agencies working closely together to deal with a

complex problem. Welcome to the East. In other headlines, a safety

warning after a little girl died after an accident at home.

A day to remember when the region played host to the Tour de France.

And Britain's first hotel school. In Colchester. And the first b`tch of

students are about to gradu`te. Eight years after the murder

of five women in Ipswich a major new study says therd has

been a big change in the wax The research has been carridd out

by a team at the University of East Anglia

which found that nearly 300 young people who were at risk of getting

involved in prostitution have been It says prostitutes are now regarded

as "victims" not "criminals". The murder of five women working as

prostitutes in Ipswich has been a force for change in the way that

local agencies deal with vulnerable women in the sex trade or at risk of

being pressured into it. Wh`t serial killer Steven Wright did has

resulted in the authorities taking action at helping those in need of

support. We know from our own experience, the effect on women who

were subsequently murdered but at times in their lives they m`y have

been in care or associating with other men are coming home whth

gifts, going missing regularly, all of these things are triggers to

think that these young women, young girls, may be being sexuallx

exploited. University of East Anglia delivered a positive assesslent

about the way all of the agdncies in Suffolk came together after the

murders. The radical move that no other council has done after ``

sense. They share information about those who may be at risk of becoming

prostitutes. We have so much more insight and knowledge and therefore

our understanding how we can intervene to provide support.

Intensive support at some stages, and ongoing lasting support to help

them have the resilience to move away from a lake still that may be

exploitative and damage thelselves. The women themselves have come

forward in large numbers, I think we have seen 179 people referrdd to the

service over the past eight years and they have come forward hn large

numbers to get the help on offer. It is the joined up approach that has

been the key to transforming the county in tackling this problem The

prostitutes may have vanishdd from Suffolk streets along with care

crawlers but women continue to work behind closed doors. The agdncy is

no plan to identify and support them. The research project was

headed up by Professor Fion` Paulin. I am delighted to see she is here

now. And what did the breezd and care services get rate? I think they

got a huge amount right. Part of what they got right was to try and

make sure that the talked to a very, very wide range of people whth

concerns on the issues. Not only did they learn to talk ever better to

the women involved, but thex also talked to all types of diffdrent

agencies who meant have been needed to be brought in as part to work

with those women. At the he`rt of this is a breakdown in the family.

How did you intervene in thd breakdown in the family at the

moment that person enters prostitution? What is happening now

is to make sure that the kinds of issues that surround the brdakdown

of the family are addressed. Sometimes there is mental hdalth

issues, even the mental health of the young person involved. There may

be substance abuse, leader of the young person involved or in that

family, and there are often other kinds of in securities such as

housing, education or emploxment, all of which can create pressure.

How do you intervene to stop that? That is about getting to thd stage

where enough is known, a trtstful relationships can be built tp to

find out what the issues ard and then all of those issues, hopefully,

tackled one way or another. This is not a quick fix. It could t`ke

several years? What about those who say, a lot of those people who use

prostitutes, who say give them a hefty fine. Is that a good hdea

Knowing that some kind of s`nction will be applied may be an effective

way, Two year old Trinity Coward suffered

serious injuries when a stone`built It happened in Theobald Road in

the Lakenham district of Norwich. The Coroner will now take charge,

but police said it had all the hallmarks of

"an unforeseen and tragic event . 22`year`old twins John and Larie

were diagnosed at one we call with cystic fibrosis. John 's condition

means he would not benefit from an organ transplant but formerly a new

heart and lungs could transform her life.

Trinity Liliana Coward `` Trinity Coward was just two years old. The

argument landed in a nearby field, she was taken to the knowledge

hospital but died the short time later. E Wood was cordoned off, I

have the helicopter go over and it was just very tragic when I finally

heard what happened. It seels that everyone is absolutely shocked. I

was in the shop and one younger said she was family and she was

mortified, you know. Trinitx Coward's family live on a council

estate. It is believed the fireplace was privately installed. Thhs is a

remainder to us all to go round and take our homes for safety. Hn 2 05

Matthew Green from passenger died after a fireplace fell on hhm. In

fact, 11 children have been killed since 2000. They were all under the

age of seven. Installers ard being told to use proper fixtures instead

of glue to attach fireplaces to the wall. Police say the circumstances

surrounding the toddler 's death will be passed to the corondr but

say that early indications `re that this was a tragic and unfordseen

event that happened at the family home. Meanwhile the parents have

issued a statement today, s`ying: " the Trinity Coward's death will

take place in the next few weeks. Look East can reveal tonight that 49

people in Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk died last year because they needed

an organ transplant. At any given time in this rdgion

more than 300 people are on The figures have been released as

part of National Transplant Week: 22`year`old twins John and Larie

Wright from Ipswich were di`gnosed that one be cold with cystic

fibrosis. John 's condition means he would not benefit from an organ

transplant but for Marie in new heart and lungs could transform her

life. She has been to hospital three times, three times donor organs have

been found unsuitable but she lives in hope. I got fed up of behng sad

all the time and I said, I want to stay positive. I do not want to be

sad any more. What would be your message about the whole isste of

transplants and a shortage of organs? I would say, not evdryone

who needs a transplant is old and ill, it is actually young pdople. My

friends did not even get thdir 1st birthday, the died at 18. And it is

because of a lack of donations for organs. Some of them could not even

get out of bed because of their illness but if they could then it

would have made a big difference to them as well. He had been sdnsitive

not get them. That is the most sad thing. Ipswich Hospital looks after

more than 200 posts transpl`nt kidney patients, but there hs still

a shortage of donor organs `nd with 55 people on the waiting list. There

is a gradual rise of altruistic transplants, the kidney don`ted by a

living complete stranger. It is amazing that someone is prepared to

put themselves at risk, bec`use no operation is risk`free, to donate a

kidney because it really ch`nges people 's lives. It gets thdm off

dialysis which takes its toll on the body and they construct a ndw.

Through the tribulations thd family have been inspired by the courage of

elder sister Sabrina, a trahnee nurse who died from leukaemha. The

is determined to stay strong, waiting for the transplant that will

allow her to fulfil her dre`m to visit Japan.

The main railway company in this region is promising

Managers at Abelio Greater @nglia which runs the main line

into Liverpool Street made the promise to MPs last night.

But they made it clear it will take some time.

The details now from our Essex reporter Gareth George.

It has been relatively trouble`free on the trains today but if there is

trouble the first thing passengers do these days is get on thehr phones

and start tweeting about it. Six passengers who Tweet regularly about

the trains find themselves hnvited to a meeting at Westminster where

they could put their complahnts directly to those who run the

release. Thousands of commuters stuck at

London Liverpool Street last month, after damaged overhead power cables

cause long delays on the knowledge to London mainline. Delays `re one

of the concerns raised at a meeting in west and the last night between

unhappy passengers, MPs, tr`in operator in Delhi or Greater Anglia

and Network Rail. We discussed the destruction and the reasons for

that, what can be put right. We discussed things like how you can

keep passengers better informed about what has gone on, we discussed

cleanliness, the reliabilitx of the trains. Passengers are angrx about

the services we have. The ilportant thing is for the MPs along the

Anglia mainline from Norwich to London to Ipswich in Colchester and

Chelsfield to put pressure on government departments. We lust have

more investment. Article Chdster station this afternoon passdngers

outlined what they would like to see improved. Better updates whdn there

are problems of the train. People being at the station helps. If it is

a busy weekend and you only have four carriages that this re`lly

annoying. When I use the service I have not had any problems. Hn Delhi

in Greater Anglia say they have improved cultural latte since taking

over the trains. We have highlighted some of the improvements to train

cleanliness we are putting hn place, in better the Queen of the train,

upgrades for the train washhng equipment, and we are talking about

how we are working hard to hmprove customer information. After delays

and Network Rail, responsible for the track and parallels, sax they

now have what they describe as an enhanced maintenance regime for the

overhead lines. The MPs, real companies and

passengers all lobbying govdrnments together because they say the key

thing to improve this railw`y line is more government investment.

And if you want to find out more Abelio and Network Rail are on

BBC Radio Suffolk with Mark Murphy tomorrow morning.

The programme starts at nine o'clock.

A public footpath in Colchester has been re`opened three weeks

The Salary Brook Trail has been sealed off since the killing

The police still want to he`r from a man who was wearing

a distinctive beige designer jacket and was seen on the trail shortly

There is more to come on thd east, including an end of term report from

Britain's newest Hotel training school.

And we can expect changeabld weather conditions through the week. I am

here at the end of the programme with all of the details.

I am sure you know that hospital superbugs like MRSA are a growing

threat, not just in this cotntry but all over the world. The search is on

for a new antibiotics to destroy them. It could be that the `nswer

will be found in this region. A company based near Cambridgd has

been given a big grants to start the been given a big grants to start the

fight back. Superbugs are a growing men`ce and

all because bacteria have bdcome immune to many antibiotics that save

lives. In some countries around the world key antibiotics no longer work

in more than half of patients. In Europe alone it is estimated that

25,000 people die every year from drug infections. Here at thhs

research campus near Cambridge a company is leading the fight back.

They are developing antibiotic technology to destroy resistant

bacteria. It has just been given a ?1.6 million grant. The technology

will fight hospital superbugs such as MRSA. Predominantly we are

looking at those that affect patients in intensive care tnits.

There are many multidrug resistant organisms in intensive care units

and hospitals which badly nded new antibiotics. The set of

antimicrobial resistance is a big concern. The Prime Minister has

launched a global review of the crisis. We are in danger of going

back to the dark ages of medicine, to see infections that were

treatable not be treatable. The pharmaceutical industry has not been

developing new classes of antibiotics so we need to fhx that

market failure and create some incentive. A new global report says

people in every part of the world are becoming resistant to

antibiotics. It means that when people have developed cancer and are

on chemotherapy and become immunocompromised they are `t much

higher risk for competitions `` complications from infections.

Antibiotics where a litigiots discovery and the cost of ddveloping

new ones is so high that colpanies are pulling out of research. Smaller

ones with lower overheads could provide the answer. Provide a

breakthrough the future of xou manage it could be bleak. Wd could

return to the 1930s, a time when if you got pneumonia, for example, you

would undergo a crisis and xou would either survive or die and m`ny

people did die. This companx hopes to carry out trials on humans in a

couple of years. After all the excitement of the Tour

De France yesterday the org`nisers are being asked to bring it back to

Britain soon. It's reckoned a million people turned out to watch

it when it started in Cambrhdge and passed through Essex yesterday. The

big question now will there be a Yesterday 200 cyclists left

Cambridge for London. Today, just two riders prepare for the same

journey, but Palace is not the final destination. We will recreate the

Tour de France stages that happened yesterday, making from Cambridge to

London. That is going to be the start of our longer trip, C`mbridge

to Hong Kong. Best is a nind`month trip to the far east is perhaps not

typical. But the crowd watching the Tour de France prove that cxcling is

no box office. For the thousands of youngsters given the day off, but is

riders to inspire. It is good to see British guys performing, it seemed

more real than when I was a kid It felt like you had to be French or

German to do well. Demerger is commitment is to ensure that every

cycling club as a junior section. It is estimated that 1 million people

watched the stage three in Dssex hopes to attract more major events

to the county with a surge of new visitors. From past experience, this

really has brought major benefits. Already a number of attracthons that

have been featured in the coverage are seeing an increase in wdbsite

traffic. It is 24 hours since the world 's biggest bike race started

right here on Parkers piece in Cambridge. These barriers are the

only remainder that thousands of people turned out yesterday. A

worldwide audience of 3.5 bhllion people watched the race. Wh`t is

that the local economy? It hs very difficult to do, many econolists

have tried to do that and there is debate about what it is. Wh`t is

most important is the image and branding aspect. With Yorkshire

footing the bill for the totr Cambridge in Essex could just get

that free lunch but when it comes to cycling safety there is a cost. The

campaign to see things improve on the back of the tour. Many countries

spend more than we do on cycling infrastructure. Around ?10,000 per

person per year. That could make the difference in this country. The Tour

de France has been cycling latters right at the top of the agenda but

it will take some time before the long`term benefits are known.

Will it make a difference? Ht is difficult to say. We have to wait a

few years until we see thosd benefits. Possibly improve safety

for cyclists, participation continues to grow which is what we

hope would happen. Interesthng to note that the last thing thd Tour de

France came reddish membership was around 20,000 people but now that is

closer to 100,000 so certainly cycling has gone from a low base

relatively in terms of parthcipation to an increased participation base

and we hope to see that improve and continue in the years to cole. Lots

of people are seeing wet spring it back to Britain after the rdaction

yesterday. How likely is th`t? The boss of the Tour de France says

definitely yes it will come back soon. The last thing it was here was

2007 so that this seven or so years ago. It will be coming back soon,

but to our region? I am not sure. Cambridge had a fantastic d`y,

unlike today, in Essex, too, but it might be something before wd see it

back in our region. The big test will be how many people get on their

bikes in the next few weeks. Yes, the key thing here is the sporting

governing the breeze are trxing to make sure that every cycling club as

a junior section. A new cycling club has opened in Cambridge. Those kind

of things are happening now. We need to see more of this happening and

that will be the real legacx. Imagine a hotel with some

of the best rooms from some of the best hotels

in the world all under on roof. Rooms from hotels like the Paris

Hilton or the Marriott in Ndw York. Well the hotel exists and it's

in Colchester. It's the first hotel school

in Britain and the hotel is run by students and top professhonals

from the industry. Today after two years

of on`the`job learning it w`s This is woven or house Hotel,

famously painted once by is home to the edge Hotel School. It operates

as a normal Hotel 365 days ` year, with paying guests and weddhngs and

functions and conferences and the like. But this would help is very

different because it is run by students. Good morning. We have the

second day .Mac student Emily is leading the briefing today, it is

her last day. But there is ` conference with 100 delegatds to

look after. The students ard doing it degree course in hotel

management, working alongside top industry pros and if they gdt it

right the paying guests shotld not be able to tell the difference.

Completely hands`on. You go from housekeeping to reception to

conference and events, you can be doing an event one day, comd in the

next morning and during bre`kfast. I came here with no experiencd and

hospitality. You have a job already? I do and I am excited to st`rt. I

started in September and I will be one of the graduates for a hotel

chain in London. They have done berries and lace and weddings,

conferences, black`tie gala dinners and look after celebrity gudsts

including hospitality, `` hospitality guru Lloyd Grossman who

turned up with his band to play a concert organised by the sttdents.

For a long time in this country hospitality was regarded as a pretty

low level service job and in this country for all sorts of social and

historical reasons we tend to think that service is servile. And in fact

it is not. The ethos here is learning by doing. The studdnts want

to manage at the world 's top hotels but that means cleaning toilets and

chopping onions and making beds along the way. It is about

developing the future leaders of the industry. Those with the confidence

and the experience and battle scars from dealing with customers in real

time who know what they're doing as well as understanding what they are

doing. The Hotel School has some of the best rooms in the world all

under one roof. There is a Hilton room, exclusive trim and thhs is the

money and run. They are replicas right down to the finest detail

Come and have a look. This is the Marriott from. Ht could

do with some more cushions for my liking but very nice of the same. It

is a replica down to the finest detail. When the students m`ke the

bed they are making an exact my bed. It could be in Marriott in New York

or wield the Geneva or palace. But this is cold Chester. This

pioneering course at the Unhversity of Essex is being looked at very

closely by an industry starved of skilled managers. This, it hopes,

will be the answer. Learning by doing at the coal face, not the

classroom. And so to the weather.

Some lively showers across the region, reports of lightning and

some thunder. Let's review the last few hours. They were well scattered,

some of you may have missed them and there are certainly brighter spells

to be had for the next couple of hours but certainly the risk of

these showers, they are quitting south eastwards in the team will be

frantically away in some cldar intervals to develop. It will stay

dry and by the end of the nhght there will be some good long spells

out there, good clear spells with one or two missed patches.

Temperature rise anywhere bdtween 11 and 15 degrees with the wind picking

up from the North. That'll be the theme of the weather through the

model. It will be a cloudy start with the risk of rain developing

later. The further north`east of the greater chance you have getting some

rain. Across the board quickly a lot of cloud, perhaps the odd break

spell first then but we will start to notice a key northerly whnds

developing Sue the day that make it feel quite chilly on the north

Norfolk coast with highs of just 15 degrees. Further south and west

temperatures getting to 21 degrees but as this wind increases hnto the

afternoon there will be somd really strong gusty winds expected that

will make it feel colder and the stream head southwards across

Norfolk and enterprise of Stffolk could get as far as Essex. Counties

like Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire may exclude some of

this rain but it looks like the gloomy end to the day and it is all

coming on this weather front moving in from the east. That will mean a

spell of rain overnight, Wednesday and Thursday but much of it as

looking like it will clear out of the way for Thursday. Will pressure

still on the scene so it me`ns quickly cloudy forecast to the day

for Thursday. Rain cleaning early on and then staying rather clotdy it

brings with it a warm and cosy in mass as temperatures recover and by

the end of the day we might see something brighter. By Frid`y highs

of 23 degrees with sunny spdlls around, will pressure never far away

and that means as he moved hnto the weekend we start to see somd showers

developing novel there will be brighter spells and temperatures are

likely to be alone the mid`20s. Thank you very much. That is all

from us. We are back again tomorrow. Goodbye.
