you might stay dry. The temperatures will still be in | :00:00. | :00:26. | |
these flats after the gas mains is deliberately set on fire. | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
New figures show a dramatic rise in stress levels for crews. | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
Ministers singing the praises of single`storey. And the unexpected | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
dangers on the beach. I picked up what looked like a store and I | :00:46. | :00:56. | |
turned that around and realised it was not, it was a sort of hand | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
grenades. Fire crews say people living | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
at two blocks of flats in Essex are lucky to be alive | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
after gas mains were deliberately set alight beneath their buildings. | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
More than 50 people were told to leave their homes when flats | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
at Westcliffe on Sea near Southend were evacuated. | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
Engineers have spent the whole day trying to repair the mains. | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
Tonight one person has been arrested on suspicion of arson. | :01:19. | :01:19. | |
The details now from Richard Daniel. It was a deliberate fire that could | :01:20. | :01:30. | |
easily have killed. Gas pipes were set alight. The alarm was raised | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
just before 7pm yesterday. All 19 flats had to be evacuated as flames | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
threatens the block. This resident rescued an elderly neighbour. I saw | :01:44. | :01:56. | |
my motorbike on fire. I went back in but it was evacuated because I knew | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
they were gas pipes. One resident with a heart condition was taken to | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
hospital and treated for shock. The gas supply had to be made safe. The | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
fire service says the gas main was deliberately broken and you can see | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
the intensity of the fire. These are the supply pipes, buckled and fallen | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
apart. Then just over three hours later another fire at another block | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
of flats half a mile away. This time a gas cylinder was placed against | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
the ruptured gas main and it was then ignited. 30 people had to be | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
evacuated. Essex Fire and rescue service described this as | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
potentially deadly. I smelt smoke and thought it was the boiler but I | :02:52. | :02:59. | |
saw the orange glow outside so I came out and open the back door and | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
we had this plume of smoke. It was something I have never experienced. | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
Tonight a joint police and fire service investigation is underway | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
and early this morning a 26`year`old man of no fixed address was | :03:19. | :03:19. | |
arrested. A chain of academies | :03:20. | :03:27. | |
in Norfolk has denied reports that some of its schools were tipped | :03:28. | :03:28. | |
off about Ofsted visits. off about Ofsted visits. | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
The Observer newspaper claimed it had evidence that three academies, | :03:32. | :03:32. | |
connected with the so`called "Superhead" | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
Dame Rachel de Souza, knew about the inspectors' visit days, | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
and sometimes weeks, in advance. Now Labour's education spokesman has | :03:40. | :03:40. | |
called for a full investigation. Rachel de Souza was May Day Dame for | :03:41. | :03:57. | |
services to education. She has flown the flag for the academies | :03:58. | :04:05. | |
programme. Sponsored academies improve at a faster rate than any | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
other kind of school. She now finds herself at the centre of allegations | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
firmly denied by the thrust of what she chief executive. She was | :04:14. | :04:21. | |
formerly principal of an academy in Norwich and the Observer says the | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
Academy knew the dates of its inspection at least two weeks in | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
advance. A statement from the trust says... | :04:31. | :04:39. | |
The newspaper says evidence from whistle`blowers suggest two | :04:40. | :04:58. | |
inspiration trust schools also receive advance notice of impending | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
inspection this summer. These are concerning allegations and we think | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
Ofsted should inspect schools without fear or favour. We cannot | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
have any politicised school inspectors it's `` inspectorate | :05:14. | :05:24. | |
system. Ofsted itself have said if anyone has any allegations they | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
should be raised. The point is we do not want some schools favoured over | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
others. The inspiration trust told as its chief executive was | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
unavailable for interview and it says Ofsted has made it clear none | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
of its schools given advance notice of inspection. All our schools are | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
managed on the basis that an inspection can car at any time. This | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
discipline provides reissue and two pupils, parents and teachers. | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
Figures obtained by the BBC show that stress`related sickness among | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
workers in the public sector in this region has risen dramatically | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
over the last five years. Under the Freedom Of Information | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
Act, BBC Radio Suffolk analysed information from councils, the fire | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
and police forces and hospitals. It found that 374,000 | :06:08. | :06:15. | |
days were lost. Last year, 3,800 council | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
staff went sick. Tonight's special report is from | :06:18. | :06:18. | |
Jon Wright. Meetings like this one used to be | :06:19. | :06:33. | |
something of a taboo but no stress and anxiety are freely discussed. | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
The culture surrounding mental health was like the rest of society. | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
People just did not talk about it and if someone was off with | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
depression it was, they are not very well. Now I feel that people talk | :06:49. | :06:55. | |
about it. Among those sharing their experiences are Paul Charlton who | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
works in social care and has twice had time for low mood. I found | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
myself not really understanding that my behaviour was changing because of | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
stress, but when it gets serious, I want to be to say to people with a | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
ensure that we are discussing ensure that we are discussing | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
people's well`being. But elsewhere in the public sector, sickness | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
through stress is a growing issue. Last year, emergency services lost | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
the equivalent of 182 years of work due to this and Norfolk lost over | :07:32. | :07:42. | |
20,000 working days. 1600 council workers were stressed enough to be | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
offset. Dealing with people in distress can have a personal impact. | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
We have excellent monitoring arrangements in place and we follow | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
that up with counselling, support that up with counselling, support | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
for staff, and we you use and occupational health service. And it | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
is not just the public sector. This man was an engineer for 30 years | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
before he became stressed. You cannot say something is going wrong | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
because it just gets darker and darker and takes the joy out of | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
things. Small challenges become difficult to handle. At the worst | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
point, ringing up a supplier was really hard and it took a lot to be | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
able to get it together to do that. Two years ago he took redundancy and | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
is living simply but stress free. I have my own time back and it is | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
fantastic. That is one of the things I hold against work and it is that | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
for 30 years I did not have my time. And the good life is something | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
mental health charities recommend. Some managers are lacking the | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
confidence to address mental health, so they avoid having the | :09:02. | :09:09. | |
discussion because they are perhaps concerned about triggering something | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
or making an existing situation worse. It has taken over an | :09:12. | :09:20. | |
allotment for an equal therapy project. `` ecotherapy. | :09:21. | :09:30. | |

A dog walker has described the moment she found a grenade | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
on a beach in Essex. Clair Watson was walking her dog | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
on the beach in Harwich yesterday when she picked it up by accident. | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
There have now been five grenades found on the beach since July. | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
Gareth George is there now, Gareth. I am at Dovercourt here than there | :09:53. | :10:04. | |
are still a few people on the beach but they are being encouraged to be | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
careful because grenades have been found in recent weeks. We spoke to a | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
dog walker who found the most recent. Not only is Bonnie I could | :10:16. | :10:24. | |
get all, she is lucky as well. She loves chasing after stones and what | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
looked to be a perfect stone turned out to be more dangerous. I turned | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
it around and realised it was not a stolen but a grenade, and it was | :10:35. | :10:42. | |
quite corroded. I put it gently down in the sand and kept my dog away. I | :10:43. | :10:50. | |
panicked because I thought if this goes off, I am | :10:51. | :11:50. | |
Just 24 hours earlier this grenade was found on the same beach | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
Firefighters are still tackling The total phone so | :11:54. | :12:53. | |
a blaze near Brentwood. It involves about 5,000 tonnes | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
of wood. Crews were called to Mount Nessing | :12:57. | :12:58. | |
just before 7pm this morning. People living nearby were told to | :12:59. | :13:00. | |
keep windows and doors closed because of smoke. | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
The fire is in a pile of disused timber which is 15 metres tall. | :13:05. | :13:18. | |
Still to come, wearable technology. And what to do when running a | :13:19. | :13:27. | |
marathon is not tough enough. This man is going for 40 marathon ons in | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
40 days. Did you know the word bungalow comes | :13:30. | :13:36. | |
from the Indian words ?bangla Ghar,? meaning house in the Bengali style? | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
Bungalows became very popular between the wars but | :13:40. | :13:41. | |
in recent years they have fallen out of favour with builders. | :13:42. | :13:43. | |
Now the Planning Minister Brandon Lewis | :13:44. | :13:45. | |
believes we should think again. The Minister, who's also the MP | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
for Great Yarmouth, says we need to build more bungalows. | :13:49. | :13:50. | |
He says they're ideal for people in their 60s and 70s who want to | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
down`size but don't need sheltered housing or retirement homes. | :13:56. | :14:06. | |
1970s bungalows, quintessentially British, and according to the | :14:07. | :14:13. | |
housing minister overlooked. This couple have lived in their bungalow | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
since it was built 42 years ago and they absolutely love it. We enjoyed | :14:19. | :14:26. | |
it. My wife finds it easy to keep the place clean because we have not | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
got any stairs. I find it easy to paint and decorate. The nice thing | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
is we do not have to go upstairs to sleep. As you can see we have a big | :14:39. | :14:47. | |
garden. The footprint of the bungalow is bigger than a house but | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
we have big plot of land which enabled us to build extensions onto | :14:53. | :15:00. | |
the back. Just down the road, a development of 30 bungalows is being | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
built to meet an increase in demand. We often think about bungalows for | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
older people who want to downsize but still want their own home and | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
garden, and an apartment is not always available. It frees up houses | :15:16. | :15:24. | |
for a younger population and they are also appealing to younger | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
people. They can play an important role across the scale. The boom in | :15:30. | :15:37. | |
the building of bungalows came in the 1950s and 1960s when they were | :15:38. | :15:44. | |
almost as popular as houses. In 1986, 15% of new builds were | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
bungalows but that's reduced to 7% ten years later and by 2012, just | :15:49. | :15:57. | |
2%. Traditionally builders are not so keen because they can make more | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
money off the land by creating flats or larger family homes. One estate | :16:02. | :16:08. | |
agency says they are in dire need of bungalows because many older couples | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
want smaller properties. We do not have anywhere to get people to go | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
next, because they want to move from the big houses and downsize. A lot | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
of the time the is nothing to go when two. Prince Charles once called | :16:25. | :16:31. | |
them have modernised boxes but with an ageing population it could soon | :16:32. | :16:33. | |
be boom time for bungalows again. As we all know, computers are | :16:34. | :16:40. | |
getting smaller and more portable. In the last ten years many people | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
have gone from a massive desktop PC to a tablet or smartphone. | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
So what will be next? The latest buzz phrase is "wearable | :16:47. | :16:48. | |
technology," or the smart watch. Now rescue teams in Cambridgeshire | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
are hoping it could help them save lives. | :16:52. | :17:00. | |
A team of volunteers prepay a four`day training exercise in March. | :17:01. | :17:11. | |
Today rescuers have a new tool, a smart watch, that can help them find | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
people more quickly. We can see where every individual has been and | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
we have quick navigational reference is so worth we find any evidence we | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
can look at the watch and see the red reference straightaway and give | :17:29. | :17:30. | |
that to our support. In today's exercise, someone has | :17:31. | :17:45. | |
gone missing in the water. The team will kayak across the river and | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
focus on the way ahead. All the navigation elements are on the | :17:51. | :17:58. | |
watch, which means they can use it hands`free and they do not have to | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
be looking at the watch constantly but can tell speeds and everything | :18:02. | :18:09. | |
by looking at the watch. For rescuers, these smart watches | :18:10. | :18:20. | |
represent a new tool. We can track Aliens that have been searched and | :18:21. | :18:28. | |
that need searching again. Ultimately this can minimise the | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
potential of people being out and at harm. This maximises the opportunity | :18:32. | :18:39. | |
of finding people. The smart watch runs navigation software developed | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
in Cambridge that can be used on Waterland. It is hoped the trial can | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
be expanded to other areas to save lives. | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
Sport now and it's been another tough day in a tough season | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
for Northamptonshire's cricketers. Last summer they won the double, | :18:57. | :18:58. | |
promotion to Division One and the T20 Trophy. | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
But this year it has been a struggle. | :19:02. | :19:03. | |
Here we are in the middle of August and they are still waiting for | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
their first win in the top flight. Today another defeat. | :19:07. | :19:08. | |
This report from our Sports Editor, Jonathan Park. | :19:09. | :19:16. | |
When you play against the best, you need to be at your best, and these | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
players have endured a summer to forget. It has been hard for | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
everyone. People would have thought we would be more competitive. It is | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
how we come back that is the critical thing. Last season they | :19:35. | :19:41. | |
could not put a foot wrong but this season it is completely different. | :19:42. | :19:49. | |
They have lost nine of 11 matches, and the step up in class has proved | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
too steep. Operating with one of the country's smallest budgets, they are | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
favourites to be relegated. Today they had the chance to break their | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
duck, but Nottingham chased down to win with five wickets to spare. You | :20:07. | :20:15. | |
have to perform and if you do not perform you call, and we have not | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
done our jobs and have had some injuries that have limited things. | :20:22. | :20:31. | |
It has been difficult and obviously trying to play the same players all | :20:32. | :20:38. | |
season is hard and that is probably why the bigger clubs can compete in | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
all competitions. They need to somehow recapture the | :20:43. | :20:50. | |
spirit of 2013, a historic season. Nine losses became ten defeats after | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
today's game, and the sober reality of the league table. On their way | :20:56. | :21:04. | |
back down. I expected a tough fight. I didn't expect them to be so much | :21:05. | :21:15. | |
had left. `` addressed. I think they can build it back up again because | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
they have an excellent coach. I think it is just bouncing back next | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
year. Relegation will not kill them because the big money comes from the | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
T20 these days but the challenge is to keep the fans aboard. Attendance | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
is up considerably on last year and I am hoping we can coalesce around | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
and people will stick with us. Tonight the season is nearly over. | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
Beaten, battered and bruised. If the thought of running a marathon | :21:47. | :21:56. | |
fills you with dread, spare a thought for the man who's running 40 | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
in 40 days ` more than 1,000 miles. Dave Hall from Stopsley | :22:00. | :22:01. | |
in Bedfordshire started his first marathon in John O'Groats | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
this morning.The final one should take him to | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
Lands End at the end of September. And just to make it a bit tougher, | :22:11. | :22:12. | |
he'll be sleeping in a mobile shack. Running a marathon is nothing new | :22:13. | :22:26. | |
for Dave Hall. Over the last 15 years he has taken part in 130 but | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
he has set himself a new challenge, to run 40 and 40 days. It starts at | :22:33. | :22:40. | |
John O'Groats and the whole team is flying up or being transported | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
there, and then we are stopping at 35 venues and churches and places to | :22:47. | :22:53. | |
inform people on what the project is and hopefully to raise money and by | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
the end of it all we should end up in Land's End. And this is his | :22:58. | :23:05. | |
motivation. In Sierra Leone, hundreds of thousands live in | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
poverty. It is a charity designed to build homes for people who live here | :23:11. | :23:17. | |
and it is for this reason that he is living `` raising money and sleeping | :23:18. | :23:24. | |
in a shack for each night. He was ready to do a major challenge and | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
asked to work with us because he had seen the effects of poverty in these | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
places. I was overwhelmed because to do this challenge is just an | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
incredible feat. The marathon challenge started this morning, and | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
covering 1000 miles he will head from John O'Groats before finishing | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
at Land's End on Friday 26 September. He is hoping to raise | :23:52. | :24:03. | |
?2000 for the charity. He is already a quarter of the way to his target | :24:04. | :24:11. | |
but with many more miles to run. I am exhausted just thinking about | :24:12. | :24:12. | |
it! And we've just had these pictures in | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
showing Dave Hall setting off from John O'Groats this morning on the | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
first leg of that first marathon. We'll let you know how he gets | :24:21. | :24:22. | |
on over the next few weeks. We will not ask you about the | :24:23. | :24:34. | |
weather at John O'Groats but will it be nice? | :24:35. | :24:42. | |
It was blustery yesterday, I lost some washing off the line. Between | :24:43. | :24:53. | |
about 35 and 45 mph. The strongest on the north Norfolk coast. The | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
strongest today as well, but generally less windy today. You can | :25:00. | :25:07. | |
see some good breaks in the cloud particularly in the north`east | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
corner and a few showers proving to be quite heavy. Still some to move | :25:11. | :25:17. | |
through over the next few hours but once most of those have gone, it | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
should be a dying night. It will be on the chilly side. These are the | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
expected lows but in some rural spots we could be down to around | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
eight Celsius. Light to moderate westerly. For the next few days, | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
chilly a feeding down from the North. Tomorrow is a dry start with | :25:41. | :25:47. | |
brightness and sunshine and we are likely to see some showers but fine | :25:48. | :25:55. | |
and but I generally but not very warm. Called are moving unsold | :25:56. | :26:03. | |
temperatures struggling to 18 Celsius but many others will not | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
even get that high, so be low average, and we hold on to moderate | :26:08. | :26:14. | |
westerly winds. We finish with a scattering of showers but quite a | :26:15. | :26:22. | |
lot of fine, dry weather. On Wednesday, still a scattering of | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
showers but again, temperatures should recover to 17 Celsius and it | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
looks as though it will be a repeat performance on Thursday. Friday will | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
see showers and longer outbreaks of rain but hopefully some sunshine. We | :26:41. | :26:50. | |
will be into a run of chilly nights. In rural spots, temperatures could | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
drop even lower so particularly on Tuesday night, it could hurt five | :26:55. | :27:02. | |
Celsius. Perhaps time to dig out the heavy pyjamas. | :27:03. | :27:13. | |
I hope you find all your washing. Good night. | :27:14. | :27:17. |
