:01:42. > :01:46.a planned visit to see their father. They had a planned visit to the

:03:17. > :03:19.It is just a valuable lesson to be learned, because I would never want

:04:09. > :04:12.New figures out today show that the East of England is the worst
:04:13. > :04:16.In Essex, it costs farmers ?2.1 million last year, up 11%.
:04:17. > :04:19.In Suffolk 1.5 million, a 36% rise on the year before.
:04:20. > :04:33.The most common targets were fuel tools machinery and even livestock.
:04:34. > :04:42.And a six farm after a visit from flight Kuipers. They are not all our
:04:43. > :04:47.farmers have to contend with. John's security measures include
:04:48. > :04:51.electronic gates activated only by his mobile phone. The thieves are
:04:52. > :04:56.still get through. In the last 26 months alone we have had to make
:04:57. > :05:00.claims approaching ?100,000 to our insurance company. That is a cost
:05:01. > :05:07.which must be born and is becoming very painful. What are you losing?
:05:08. > :05:15.In one night, we lost a brand`new slaughter, a pick`up truck, a
:05:16. > :05:18.trailer, a utility vehicle and a lawn mower, all in one night. If we
:05:19. > :05:25.leave anything anywhere, they will have it. We wish people would
:05:26. > :05:31.realise the heartache it causes. This is the farm's main fuel tank.
:05:32. > :05:35.In one incident, thousands of litres of diesel was siphoned out, despite
:05:36. > :05:42.extra security measures. It shows just how determined thieves are.
:05:43. > :05:48.This has smart water... Technology is making modern machine are harder
:05:49. > :05:53.to steal. This dealer makes sure all of its vehicles are fitted with the
:05:54. > :05:57.latest tracking and anti`theft devices. They say that farmers can
:05:58. > :06:02.also do more to help their own security. We have to blog or
:06:03. > :06:06.gateways, make sure there are no escape routes. It is very difficult
:06:07. > :06:10.at harvest time is when the ground is dry because people can drive
:06:11. > :06:17.around and get access. This is a major problem. What we are noticing,
:06:18. > :06:20.and those in other counties are seeing the same, if it is the easily
:06:21. > :06:25.saleable items that can be exported, often to eastern Europe where
:06:26. > :06:28.agriculture is flourishing, they are going from places like Felixstowe
:06:29. > :06:35.and are the bits of kit that are now being targeted. Back at John's farm,
:06:36. > :06:40.it is one of the busiest times of the Lord he had stolen was worth
:06:41. > :06:43.?50,000. `` detractors he had stolen. He says it is crippling
:06:44. > :06:45.local industry. Earlier this afternoon,
:06:46. > :06:49.he told me why he believes there is so much rural crime in this part
:06:50. > :06:52.of the country. Unfortunately East Anglia has got
:06:53. > :06:54.the biggest machinery in the UK. We have got the biggest tractors,
:06:55. > :06:56.implements and fields. Unfortunately, that is just
:06:57. > :06:59.what thieves are looking for. We have now got international
:07:00. > :07:02.gangs who steal tractors to order. These are the big pieces
:07:03. > :07:05.of kit that you see in fields. They get them down to ports on the
:07:06. > :07:10.back of a lorry, whisk them across the channel into eastern Europe and
:07:11. > :07:15.sell them right across the globe. They are big
:07:16. > :07:19.and very difficult to move. The thieves put the tractors on the
:07:20. > :07:29.back of curtain sided lorries. That is the big articulated
:07:30. > :07:33.vehicles that have flexible sides. You can get just about the biggest
:07:34. > :07:39.tractor on those and get them away. Yes, until this year,
:07:40. > :07:47.we had seen the international gangs going for the very biggest
:07:48. > :07:51.and most expensive pieces of kit, But this year, we have seen them
:07:52. > :07:57.also taking medium`sized tractors, three or five years old,
:07:58. > :08:01.not worth nearly as much. We have worked out that the reason
:08:02. > :08:05.they are taking these is there is a big demand in the developing world,
:08:06. > :08:09.where implements are smaller and the technology is not there to use
:08:10. > :08:15.or repair the most modern tractors. It is not just the big implements,
:08:16. > :08:20.it is domestic fuel oil as well. Yes, and the tanks
:08:21. > :08:24.for these are usually cited near roads, so it is easy to fill
:08:25. > :08:28.from them, but that has enabled thieves to spot them and, equipped
:08:29. > :08:35.with a van with a tank in it and One word of advice to anybody who
:08:36. > :08:40.lives in the countryside to stop these
:08:41. > :08:44.people stealing almost anything? What is needed for everybody,
:08:45. > :08:47.be they a farmer or just living in the countryside, is to keep
:08:48. > :08:51.an eye out for anything suspicious. Be the eyes and ears
:08:52. > :08:54.of the countryside. Let your local farmers know if
:08:55. > :08:56.you see anything that could be dodgy going
:08:57. > :09:00.on and also let the police know. That is the only way you can enforce
:09:01. > :09:04.the same levels of security that are Fire crews in Norfolk dealt with
:09:05. > :09:17.more than 160 calls relating to The worst rainfall was on Friday
:09:18. > :09:23.evening around the Upwell Outwell The County Council is asking anyone

:09:28. > :09:35.from commuters today after weekend This time it was work to improve
:09:36. > :09:41.signalling in the Ipswich area. The result ` 32 trains cancelled
:09:42. > :09:43.and 18 trains running late. A short while ago I asked Dave Ward
:09:44. > :09:57.why. We apologise for the delay but it
:09:58. > :10:00.appears that activities we thought could work in parallel could not be
:10:01. > :10:08.done, so we lost about four hours yesterday evening. If you know that
:10:09. > :10:12.at 8pm, can you not stop what you are doing and get the system back in
:10:13. > :10:17.place so that claims can start running normally on Monday morning
:10:18. > :10:20.when it is important? That is a good description and precisely what we
:10:21. > :10:25.did. The original estimate to complete the whole job would mean
:10:26. > :10:29.the railway would not be opened until about 10am. That was not
:10:30. > :10:35.acceptable so we put our efforts into restoring the signalling system
:10:36. > :10:41.and restoring it safely and opened just after 6:30am. This is the
:10:42. > :10:44.second time in three months we have done an interview with Network Rail
:10:45. > :10:51.about overrunning engineering works from the weekend. Why can you not
:10:52. > :10:59.stop it? We tried and are acutely aware of the destruction it causes.
:11:00. > :11:05.There are 1800 trains running and we cancelled 18 trains. That is eating
:11:06. > :11:11.too many and destruction or people but is not something we take likely.
:11:12. > :11:15.`` that is 18 to many and we do not take it lightly. Our safety record
:11:16. > :11:19.is second to none and, believe it or not, our punctuality record is
:11:20. > :11:24.amongst the strongest in Europe. Each time one of these things
:11:25. > :11:29.happens, it diminishes that. I have been looking at the Tweets. "No
:11:30. > :11:39.other business could operate like this." " Horrendous, shambolic."
:11:40. > :11:42.These people are fed up with this. I can understand people being angry
:11:43. > :11:47.and fed up when we do not deliver a promise. That is the pivotal point
:11:48. > :11:50.for me. We have to understand that each time these things happen...
:11:51. > :11:54.When you are renewing infrastructure, ?2.2 billion of work
:11:55. > :11:59.in the Anglian region in the next five years, most of that
:12:00. > :12:05.infrastructure is very old and what happens is that when you start to
:12:06. > :12:09.pull at a Park and renew it, we find things we do not expect. That is not
:12:10. > :12:13.acceptable. We have to make sure that we deliver our promise each and
:12:14. > :12:14.every weekend and night when we undertake the vital investment these
:12:15. > :12:24.railways need. A charity has condemned
:12:25. > :12:26.as horrible the way people in Colchester failed to help when
:12:27. > :12:30.a young woman had an epileptic fit. Two young men even filmed the fit
:12:31. > :12:33.on their mobile phones. Perhaps even more worryingly other
:12:34. > :12:36.people just stood and watched. The charity Epilepsy Action says
:12:37. > :12:39.more needs to be done to help Maggie's seizures can be
:12:40. > :12:45.life`threatening but she is determined to live
:12:46. > :12:49.as normal a life as possible. While walking her dog, she
:12:50. > :12:53.collapsed and lost consciousness. After a few minutes, unable to move
:12:54. > :12:57.or speak, she was confronted They were pointing their phones
:12:58. > :13:03.at me, laughing and making fun of me because I had wet myself
:13:04. > :13:08.and had blood on my face. One of the boys brought his phone
:13:09. > :13:13.very close to my face, I think to get a close`up cos there was a lot
:13:14. > :13:17.of blood where I had bit my tongue. My dog growled and he stepped back,
:13:18. > :13:20.looked uncomfortable Maggie posted details of her ordeal
:13:21. > :13:24.online. She received many responses,
:13:25. > :13:28.many from people who have epilepsy and are too afraid to leave
:13:29. > :13:32.their own home. It brought tears to my eyes,
:13:33. > :13:35.the thought that someone could treat my friend that way and
:13:36. > :13:38.the thought of her having a seizure alone and to wake up and find two
:13:39. > :13:44.people filming you is disgraceful. We could all help someone
:13:45. > :13:47.who is having a seizure... There are around 40 different types
:13:48. > :13:50.of epileptic seizure. This video gives advice
:13:51. > :13:53.on what people should do If the seizure lasts longer than
:13:54. > :13:57.five minutes, It is very common for people to
:13:58. > :14:03.sustain injury during those seizures and if somebody is with them,
:14:04. > :14:06.they can protect them from any danger and also watch them and make
:14:07. > :14:12.sure they recover successfully. What depresses Maggie most was the
:14:13. > :14:15.reaction of people in the park, who I believe these boys made
:14:16. > :14:22.a mistake and should not have done But the people sitting around that
:14:23. > :14:29.were out of the situation, What happened to Maggie was shocking
:14:30. > :14:33.but she says it may at least highlight a condition which
:14:34. > :14:40.affects 600,000 people in the UK. So what should you do if you see
:14:41. > :14:44.somebody having an epileptic fit? The experts say there are three
:14:45. > :14:47.key steps you should take. Cushion their head and remove
:14:48. > :14:52.anything which could do them harm. Place them in the recovery position
:14:53. > :14:55.and if possible stay with them Online shopping celebrated
:14:56. > :15:03.its 20th birthday today. Of course,
:15:04. > :15:05.it's changed the way we buy. But it's also affected
:15:06. > :15:07.the way companies sell. They've had to build distribution
:15:08. > :15:10.warehouses to get the goods to Many of those warehouses are
:15:11. > :15:15.in this region. Online sales are expected to

:15:40. > :15:41.distribution centre in Milton Keynes, where thousands

:15:53. > :16:01.on this site. Clearly it is a big investment
:16:02. > :16:03.for you. But does it replace
:16:04. > :16:07.traditional high street stores? It is not as simple as saying
:16:08. > :16:09.that one replaces the other. About one third
:16:10. > :16:12.of our sales are online. You can see the items whizzing
:16:13. > :16:15.around today. But our customers are saying
:16:16. > :16:19.that they like to do both. They maybe researche online

:19:12. > :19:18.near the end to get something. those hopes seemed justified
:19:19. > :19:24.but the manager was quick to play Daryl Murphy scored the first,

:19:37. > :19:43.you have spent or done. It was hard but they all worked
:19:44. > :19:46.exceptionally well together. Some trepidation for Norwich,
:19:47. > :19:53.who have two home matches to kick With 45 games to go,
:19:54. > :20:14.both know nothing is won yet. It has been revealed in the last few

:22:48. > :22:52.War. At the Imperial War Museum, a history lesson from a former history
:22:53. > :22:56.teacher for young and old. Recently it seems to play a second fiddle to
:22:57. > :23:01.World War II, that have become very popular. People are very interested
:23:02. > :23:05.in the history, with their relatives. Obviously this year, with
:23:06. > :23:09.the 100 year anniversary of the start of the war, there has been an
:23:10. > :23:13.upsurge in people's interest. Duxford may have been an era base
:23:14. > :23:18.but they have their own trenches, where visitors got a sense of what
:23:19. > :23:27.life might have been like waiting for the call to go. And you do not
:23:28. > :23:33.really learn until you experience the feel of a uniform, the fear of a
:23:34. > :23:39.gas attack or the weight of an Enfield. I think it was 7500 people
:23:40. > :23:44.got hurt or had injuries on the first day of the war. The things
:23:45. > :23:49.that they were wearing were quite heavy and quite itchy so it must
:23:50. > :23:54.have been quite uncomfortable. This place would not exist if it was not
:23:55. > :23:59.for the First World War. It was built in 1918 as a training base for
:24:00. > :24:02.pilots. Many buildings remain and this original accommodation block
:24:03. > :24:08.for the pilots has survived. The reason they came here was the land
:24:09. > :24:14.was quite flat without many trees and they wanted the error field as a
:24:15. > :24:18.training station so you would have learn pilots and you wanted to give
:24:19. > :24:24.them plenty of room and blazers they could land without doing too much
:24:25. > :24:29.damage. Many of these stories have not been told or buried with the
:24:30. > :24:38.fallen and only now, 100 years on, are we really grasping the cause and
:24:39. > :24:42.effect of the First World War. Within the last hour, government
:24:43. > :24:46.sources have confirmed that tornadoes on the trick will be going
:24:47. > :24:53.to the Middle East in coming days and they will join the humanitarian
:24:54. > :24:58.effort in Northern Iraq. I have been told that the tornadoes will, within
:24:59. > :25:02.the next 48 hours, the heading out to eBay 's in the Mediterranean or
:25:03. > :25:08.Middle East, perhaps by Chris or Turkey. `` Cyprus. They will be
:25:09. > :25:14.operational by the end of the week, I understand. They will not be doing
:25:15. > :25:20.combat operations. They are equipped with high`tech imaging operation so
:25:21. > :25:23.will be eyes in the skies, pinpointing where the refugees are
:25:24. > :25:24.so that humanitarian aid can be targeted on the ground. Thank you
:25:25. > :25:38.very much. It was not the hurricane that
:25:39. > :25:41.brought us the most rain over the past few days, but the thundery rain
:25:42. > :25:44.which pushed up from the south to stop at an unofficial site in
:25:45. > :25:49.Cambridge, the recorded 130 millimetres of rain, over five
:25:50. > :25:55.inches. That is double what you would expect from the whole month of
:25:56. > :26:00.August. At our official posts, we also had impressive totals. On
:26:01. > :26:06.Sunday, many of us had less than 20 millimetres. It did produce some
:26:07. > :26:14.pretty blustery winds. We had gusts, as you can see, of over 40 mph. It
:26:15. > :26:20.has been pretty blustery today. It has meant that these showers have
:26:21. > :26:24.whisked on through. Some of those have proved heavy and thundery and
:26:25. > :26:28.there are more to come over the next few hours. Eventually, they should
:26:29. > :26:32.move away to the east and it should become largely dry and clear for
:26:33. > :26:40.many of us. Not aid bad night for watching the moon. We should see
:26:41. > :26:42.those winds easing down a touch, although still remaining pretty
:26:43. > :26:47.blustery especially towards the cost. Tomorrow, there is the low
:26:48. > :26:50.pressure associated with birth. A pressure associated with birth. A
:26:51. > :26:57.westerly flow, dragging in some showers but they will be few and far
:26:58. > :26:59.between. For many of us, a dry day with some sunshine although you
:27:00. > :27:08.could see heavy showers with the fund are mixed in. `` with thunder.
:27:09. > :27:12.Still quite windy, with a good moderate breeze. We finished the day
:27:13. > :27:16.with some showers around but for many of us, some sunshine to end the
:27:17. > :27:22.day. Wednesday is looking dry for everyone at the moment but by
:27:23. > :27:26.Thursday, a greater risk of some showers. They are likely to be
:27:27. > :27:30.slow`moving with the lack of wind. We could still have a few around on
:27:31. > :27:37.Friday but hopefully some fine and dry weather as well. Just before I
:27:38. > :27:39.go, your overnight lows. # It is only a supermoon. #
:27:40. > :27:46.Goodbye.
