September will settle down with Sony spells and it will get warmer -- | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
sunny spells. A story with a happy ending. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
In the programme tonight, the by`election bandwagon rolls | :00:10. | :00:18. | |
into Clacton, with UKIP's leader admitting it's crunch time. | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
This is High Noon. This matters. | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
This matters an awful lot. It matters an awful lot to UKIP. | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
It matters an awful lot to the Eurosceptic movement. | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
Also tonight it's Decision day on the railways, as Network Rail | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
rules it will go ahead with some engineering work this weekend. | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
I'll be reporting live from Ipswich Railway station | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
on what commuters returning home tonight made of that decision. | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
Some of the giants of golf are at Woburn. | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
We get their thoughts on the Ryder Cup. | :00:44. | :00:54. | |
First tonight, the leader of the UK Independence | :00:55. | :01:13. | |
Party kicks off the byelection campaign in Clacton, along with | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
the newest member of his party. The man in question is | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
Douglas Carswell. Yesterday, he stunned | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
the political world when he defected to UKIP from the Tories. | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
There will now be a by`election. Today in Clacton, | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
a scene which will become very familiar in the weeks ahead. | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
Mr Carswell, the UKIP leader Nigel Farage, and a media scrum. | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
Our political correspondent Andrew Sinclair was there. | :01:40. | :01:51. | |
After the political drama of yesterday, time for the party leader | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
and his new recruits to start selling the message to Clacton. Do | :01:58. | :02:05. | |
you want someone who calls you boss or calls David Cameron boss? This | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
afternoon Douglas Carswell resigned as an MP and is now only a | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
candidate. The reaction today was largely positive. Very pleased. I | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
admire him very much. Do you think you can pull it off? I hope so. He | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
has the courage of his convictions. What is the attraction of UKIP? I | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
think they will do something the other parties are not bothering to | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
do at all. But not everyone was positive. Crater `` traitor. Also on | :02:39. | :03:00. | |
the scene today, the woman who always manages UKIP's most important | :03:01. | :03:08. | |
campaigns. This is high noon. This matters, an awful lot. It matters a | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
lot to the Eurosceptic movement and there is a growing number of us out | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
there that want this country to be free of Brussels. There is one | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
embarrassing problem, this man, who was only chosen three weeks ago was | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
the UKIP candidate for Clacton, and he is refusing to stand down. This | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
act if we wanted to sleep through one said, let them finish. I think | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
that is only right. I am a fighter. This constituency needs a fighter. | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
Nigel Farage says he is hoping to meet him later today. Drawing a | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
crowd and getting the cameras to come along as the easy bit but what | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
the Conservative majority of 12,000, taking the seat will be a big task. | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
Over the next few weeks UKIP will have to explain what it stands for | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
and why a UKIP MP will make a difference. | :04:08. | :04:15. | |
Other news now. Network Rail has decided to | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
scale back the engineering work it will carry out this weekend. | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
Last weekend, work on the signals in Ipswich overran, | :04:22. | :04:22. | |
leaving thousands of commuters waiting for trains that never came. | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
This afternoon, the company said it was changing its work schedule. | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
Kim Riley is at Ipswich Station now, Kim. | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
After the bank holiday, the return to work that commuters blended. | :04:35. | :04:43. | |
Literally hundreds packed onto the buses. Yesterday Network Rail | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
identified a fault with the new signalling system being installed as | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
part of the ?25 million upgrade. This afternoon, after a series of | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
meetings it has put aside the signalling work but said that other | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
planned work would go ahead. This was the reaction from commuters this | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
evening. You have two adult a fatalistic approach, there is | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
nothing much you can do about it. The service is appalling and it | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
doesn't seem to get any better. I have been commuting for nearly 20 | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
years. If they need to do it, they need to do it, but I am a bit | :05:22. | :05:31. | |
annoyed. There you go. Not terribly impressed? I am not. They say it | :05:32. | :05:42. | |
might be getting better and may turn out to be wonderful. I just think | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
that for the money you paid to travel by rail, the service can | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
certainly be quicker and more reliable. The personal view is that | :05:51. | :05:57. | |
if there is money to be spent, some of that should filter out to these | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
counties in the East of England, which does not seem to be happening. | :06:02. | :06:08. | |
Tonight, a new team is overseeing the work this weekend and has been | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
told every step will be taken to avoid any overrun. Many MPs have | :06:15. | :06:22. | |
criticised network rail and today it was announced politicians would have | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
a bigger say in salaries and bonuses. | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
Steve Cassidy is the area director for Network Rail. | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
Straight after that meeting he told me what the new plan involves. | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
We are pulling for word work that would have happened later on in the | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
programme. Part of the work we had problems with last weekend, we are | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
reviewing that and taking it out of the programme for this weekend. Can | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
you assure us know that there will not be any problems on Monday | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
morning? For this weekend, we have reviewed the programme and the work | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
at any point. One of the yes use at any point. One of the yes use | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
last weekend was we got to a point that for the safety of the line, we | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
had to carry on with it. The work this weekend can be stopped at any | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
point. So you can guarantee there will not be a problem on Monday | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
morning? Essentially. As far as I can say, the work can be dropped at | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
any time so we will return to normal. There could be something out | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
whether control and we could have unless you but the chances are slim. | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
There is absolute minimal risk. Is it a new team of people who are | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
doing the work? We have a new team of people that are coming into the | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
design problems. The problems were in the design rather than the | :07:56. | :07:57. | |
implementation so essentially we have the same people implementing it | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
but a new team reviewing it. So the people doing the design work before | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
got it wrong? We do not understand fully exactly what happened. That | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
preview is still underway but we know there was a problem with the | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
design so the easiest and most effective way for us to deal with | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
that is to have an independent team come in and check the design from a | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
fresh perspective. That work you were going to do, you have pooled | :08:27. | :08:34. | |
other work for word, so you have put the planned work on hold, does that | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
mean that in the future that work will have to be done and that could | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
cause problems? Yes, that will have to be done in the future. The chance | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
of it causing problems should be reduced by the review that we are | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
carrying out which is why we're not doing it this weekend. And you will | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
come back on Monday and tell us that you are very sorry if it all goes | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
wrong? I am quite happy to come back but hopefully that will not be the | :09:02. | :09:02. | |
case. Over the next few weeks UKIP will | :09:03. | :09:18. | |
have to explain what it stands for and why a UKIP MP will make a | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
difference. This weekend the party experts will | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
be going through the stats, trying to work out what kind | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
of constituency Clacton really is. Here's what happened in 2010. | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
Douglas Carswell won with more than 22,000 votes. | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
UKIP didn't stand as part of an unofficial agreement with | :09:30. | :09:31. | |
Mr Carswell. Labour came second with the Lib Dems | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
third and the British National Party fourth. | :09:35. | :09:36. | |
So what's going to happen in 2014? Richard Daniel has been | :09:37. | :09:37. | |
taking soundings. It has all the trappings of a | :09:38. | :09:46. | |
British seaside resorts but come the by`election that promises to be | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
anything but predictable. This is classic UKIP territorially with many | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
voters feeling disenfranchised with national politics, but it is not | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
just about the seaside resort, important though it is. Other | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
factors are then play elsewhere. The constituency used to include the | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
traditional Labour stronghold of Harwich but no more following | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
boundary changes. This corner of coastal Essex has corners of | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
affluence and deprivation. Bierley two miles away, the poverty here in | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
places is stark. This couple have lived here for 25 years and that the | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
last general election they voted Conservative. Does he have Euro | :10:31. | :10:39. | |
Report? Not necessarily. Not really because we have had dealings with | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
him and he was not very helpful. I have no confidence in the man. It is | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
not just UKIP that sense is an opportunity but Labour as well. Ivan | :10:51. | :10:58. | |
Henderson lost his seat in 2005 and he believes Tories voting for UKIP | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
could help split the vote in labour's favour. There is a good | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
chance and we saw it in the past. We could sneak through from behind. I | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
think it is open and nobody can call this one. But Labour faces | :11:14. | :11:22. | |
challenges as well. In the north of the constituency I found a lifelong | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
Labour supporter, and it was not Labour he had on his mind. I could | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
never go Conservative but possibly to UKIP because some of those | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
policies fit nicely with me. Labour to UKIP is a big jump. I would | :11:37. | :11:43. | |
consider it. And that is what will make this by`election so close to | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
call. It promises to be a thrilling ride. | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
The East of England Ambulance Service has been fined ?1.5 million | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
for poor response times, and poor turnaround times at hospitals. | :12:00. | :12:01. | |
The fine has been imposed by the region's Clinical | :12:02. | :12:03. | |
Commissioning Groups which buy NHS services on behalf of patients. | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
This is a ?1.5 million fine which could get even bigger. The East of | :12:10. | :12:18. | |
England ambulance trust serves 19 clinical commissioning groups across | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
the East. These are the groups which now by NHS services on behalf of | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
patients. These groups say ambulance performance has been too slow and | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
when that happens, fines levied. The first part of the fine is for slowed | :12:34. | :12:42. | |
responses to emergency calls. They failed to reach 75% of | :12:43. | :12:44. | |
life`threatening emergencies within eight minutes. ?300,000 is for | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
hospital time around the leaves, the time people have to wait and an | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
ambulance outside A Last year, 29,000 people were kept waiting for | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
more than 30 minutes. In a statement, the trust told look East, | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
we are working hard... The ambulance service will have two | :13:08. | :13:34. | |
pay the ?300,000 tolerant fine now but the fine fun emergency responses | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
only covers the first three months of the financial year and did get | :13:38. | :13:39. | |
bigger. The police in Norfolk are doing | :13:40. | :13:46. | |
a good job at protecting vulnerable children, according to a report | :13:47. | :13:48. | |
by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary. | :13:49. | :13:50. | |
The force was inspected in April. Officers were found to be well | :13:51. | :13:52. | |
trained to identify children at risk. | :13:53. | :13:54. | |
There were some concerns over assessing the risk | :13:55. | :13:56. | |
of suspects to other vulnerable people, and over children involved | :13:57. | :13:57. | |
in long`term domestic abuse. Still to come, a road movie | :13:58. | :14:16. | |
featuring a folk band and a B road. And why Monty is still the master. | :14:17. | :14:24. | |
Figures obtained by Look East show the number of police community | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
support officers has fallen across the region over the last five years. | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
At the same time, the number of Special Constables has gone up. | :14:32. | :14:33. | |
Of course, PCSOs get paid, specials don't. | :14:34. | :14:35. | |
In Cambridgeshire, for example, there are currently 136 PCSOs | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
compared to 289 Special Constables, So what's the difference | :14:41. | :14:49. | |
between the two? And does it show that we're | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
getting policing on the cheap? Louise Hubball has | :14:55. | :14:55. | |
tonight's special report. In the modern police force, officers | :14:56. | :15:08. | |
are backed up by police community support officers. And special | :15:09. | :15:19. | |
constables, unpaid volunteers. Every Friday, Tony is in uniform and the | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
rest of the week he is doing his day job, and he believes this work helps | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
with policing. I am meeting with people and interacting with them so | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
there are lot of interpersonal skills that you require, and it is | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
the same as the police. And it is something his clients approve of. It | :15:40. | :15:46. | |
gives us plenty to talk about. As a special constable, he focuses on | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
rural crime. Within that farm building you have livestock and | :15:53. | :15:59. | |
tools... The number of police community support officers has gone | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
down, and it is not just here in Cambridgeshire. In the last five | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
years, police forces have been reducing their numbers of PCS alls. | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
The figures for the specials are more complex with numbers in some | :16:16. | :16:22. | |
areas going up. This volunteer says it is not all about cutting costs. | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
Certain people enjoy giving their time. I give my time and do not feel | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
it is policing on the cheap but is about connecting again with the | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
community. And despite needing to make savings of ?25 million, Cambs | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
police say the recruitment decision is not driven by money. Having a | :16:43. | :16:49. | |
special Constabulary is fundamental to policing and has been in place | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
for years. We want to recruit people who want to be a part of policing in | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
their local area so we are introducing specialist roles, | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
whether that is child abuse investigation or major crime, to | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
give people a clear path with the special Constabulary. This force | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
will always employ dedicated individuals prepared to a | :17:13. | :17:13. | |
challenging job without being paid. In golf, Colin Montgomerie is the | :17:14. | :17:21. | |
hot favourite to defend his Masters title at Woburn this weekend. | :17:22. | :17:23. | |
And with the European Ryder Cup team announced next week, selection | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
is the hot topic of debate. Tom Williams has spent the day | :17:27. | :17:27. | |
on the Duke's Course at Woburn. Welcome to Woburn. | :17:28. | :17:35. | |
Huge crowds expected over the three days of the Travis Perkins masters. | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
Winding down in the hospitality area after a | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
tricky opening day for the players. The scoreboard is behind me and it's | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
a very familiar name on the top. Colin Montgomerie four | :17:50. | :17:51. | |
under par today. He's a past Ryder Cup captain | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
and that really is the top topic of debate this week, | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
who will be selected in the team next Tuesday. | :17:58. | :18:05. | |
It's become a Who's Who of golf. The European senior tour | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
brimming with talent. Ryder Cup legends as competitive | :18:10. | :18:18. | |
and as classy as ever, this week eyeing up more silverware. | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
With the next Ryder Cup just a month away, the race | :18:22. | :18:23. | |
for selection is tight and tense. After failing to qualify, Woburn's | :18:24. | :18:32. | |
finest needs a captain's pick. Ian Poulter has been a talisman in | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
the last couple of matches, can you imagine the team without him? | :18:36. | :18:37. | |
I cannot. Since 2012, | :18:38. | :18:38. | |
it should not have "Europe" but "Ian Poulter" written on it. | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
It was unbelievable. If he didn't get | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
a wild card everyone would boycott the Ryder Cup. | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
In recent Ryder Cups, he has been Europe's top points scorer. | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
His points and passion are priceless. | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
He would be tough to leave out but he is in the mix | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
along with several other players. Stevie Gallacher can play | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
his way into the team if he gets in the top two and | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
Francesco Molinari is in the mix. Lots of players have their hands | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
up looking for the spot. The focus for | :19:16. | :19:17. | |
the seniors this week is the Travis Perkins title, showing the world | :19:18. | :19:19. | |
that they are still the Masters. Well played today. | :19:20. | :19:26. | |
Thank you, it was difficult, the winds were swirling | :19:27. | :19:28. | |
and the green was soft, very difficult to get close to the hole. | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
I'm delighted to get in at 68 and the wind is still up | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
so it will be difficult. Defending champion this week | :19:41. | :19:42. | |
and a couple of majors already this year, you are red hot? | :19:43. | :19:48. | |
Neither red nor hot but delighted with how the year has gone. | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
Just because we have turned 50 does not | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
mean we cannot play golf any more and the standard is great and I am | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
looking forward to the challenge. As | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
a former Ryder Cup captain you know where Paul McGinley is this week. | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
Next week there is confirmation. What will be going through his mind? | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
It is not easy because you will have to say someone | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
that I think you are better than you and that is never easy | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
in golf terms because we all think we're better than everyone else. | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
It is one man's opinion and I think he will make the right | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
decisions for the sake of the team and we will get the 12 players. | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
Everyone here at Woburn is desperate to see their local man | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
Ian Poulter. Tough to leave him out? | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
I think he is guaranteed, although he is not had a great summer. | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
It would be very difficult to think of a Ryder Cup team without | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
Ian Poulter in it. Thanks ever so much. | :20:53. | :21:03. | |
Best of luck over the weekend. The weaher I think is set to be | :21:04. | :21:05. | |
fair over the weekend and certainly, Montgomerie will be | :21:06. | :21:07. | |
the man to beat. Highway to Hell? | :21:08. | :21:17. | |
How about the B1159 in Norfolk? It's the coast road between Cromer | :21:18. | :21:19. | |
and Great Yarmouth. And a folk band called | :21:20. | :21:21. | |
Addison's Uncle has just released a new anthem in its honour. | :21:22. | :21:47. | |
Addison's Uncle with an acoustic version of the B1159. Why the | :21:48. | :21:59. | |
B1159? That is down to the singer songwriter. He would insist on | :22:00. | :22:00. | |
taking this stupid route and it will be a chance to comment | :22:01. | :24:15. | |
on the popularity of the government, but there is far more to it than | :24:16. | :24:17. | |
that, because UKIP have good chance of winning the seat. | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
Nationally that could be big, but locally, UKIP has a big presence in | :24:24. | :24:31. | |
the region, and if they can or cannot take Clacton, what does that | :24:32. | :24:38. | |
say about other parts of Essex? And if Douglas Carswell can pull it off | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
in Clacton, what about other MPs from our region who have been linked | :24:43. | :24:49. | |
with UKIP in the past? Will they now be tempted to jump ship? Whoever | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
wins the selection, it will be remembered. UKIP looked very | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
confident, can they do it? They do, but they have never seriously fought | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
Clacton before, and statistically nobody is really too sure what can | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
happen. Douglas Carswell's popularity and the demographic means | :25:12. | :25:14. | |
he stands a good chance but the Tories have a 12,000 majority so | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
should be favourites. One bit of late news, Labour has chosen its | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
candidate, Tim Young, a Colchester counsellor. This will be going on | :25:26. | :25:33. | |
every day for weeks six lets get the weather. | :25:34. | :25:40. | |
Certainly blustery today and we have had this system moving in from the | :25:41. | :25:48. | |
west. The thicker cloud and rain will continue east were swept most | :25:49. | :25:51. | |
of the rain light and patchy but we cannot rule out some heavy | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
downpours. Not particularly cold with temperatures no lower than 15 | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
Celsius. The when this tended to ease down a touch but remaining | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
moderates. The frontal system moves in and we have a low pressure to the | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
North and high pressure from the south`west. This north`westerly flow | :26:15. | :26:21. | |
is likely to feed a few showers so the overnight rain should clear from | :26:22. | :26:24. | |
the east and we are left with largely dry conditions. We could | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
have a few showers speeding through, most of the light side, but a sharp | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
one he ran clear. Temperatures around 20 Celsius. A mainly moderate | :26:36. | :26:43. | |
westerly wind and we finished the day with a few showers but a lot of | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
fine and dry weather. We can look at the pressure chart and Sunday still | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
looks like having high pressure from the West but Monday into Tuesday, | :26:54. | :27:00. | |
still a certain amount of uncertainty, but this is actually | :27:01. | :27:08. | |
the tail end of a front associated what a hurricane, and if it moves | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
over the top of us, we could have a lot more cloud and outbreaks of | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
rain. Saturday, a few showers but mostly dry and Sunday is looking guy | :27:20. | :27:26. | |
everywhere. Monday and Tuesday, depending on what happens, high | :27:27. | :27:28. | |
pressure is still with us but we could have a lot of cloud and | :27:29. | :27:33. | |
outbreaks of rain, and we're not sure about amounts of sunshine. Keep | :27:34. | :27:36. | |
an eye on the forecast. Goodbye. From all of us, whatever you're | :27:37. | :27:44. | |
doing this weekend, see you next week. | :27:45. | :27:48. |
