02/09/2014 Look East - East

degrees. Thursday, more of the same. Is that is all from us. Now on BBC

One face speaks out about the attack.

The pain was unbelievable. Reaction to the former security minister who

thinks terror suspects should be sent to East Anglia. We could send

people from London to Ipswich. If you do that, the police can keep a

better eye on them. The airports commission says no to Boris Island

in the Thames Estuary. What does that mean for this region? Hunting

for wild hops. We are asking for your help.

First tonight, the victim of an acid attack in Essex has been

speaking exclusively to Look East about how the incident has left him

scarred for life and so afraid he has moved to another town.

Wayne Ingold had the acid thrown over him in Witham

In a moment, Kim Riley on the rising number of attacks.

But first Nikki Fox and one man's story.

Father of two Wayne Ingold is now back with his family

A skin graft had to be taken from his leg to repair

His confidence, he says, will never be the same.

It just felt like knives going into my face and my arms and my neck.

Doctors said to me, if there's any good to come out

of this, it's that you were wearing your glasses because if you hadn't

It was 10:30am when Mr Ingold arrived back at his flat in Witham

He put his bag down in the kitchen then what towards the communal area

He then opened the door and had the liquid sprayed in his face.

I thought, why is he spraying juice over me?

Then I could smell acid and it took me back to

I looked up at the wall and the liquid was going over the wall and

the paint was blistering, so within seconds, the pain was unbelievable

and it held my hand onto my face and ran back into my flat.

I looked in the mirror and my face was melting.

He was taken to Broomfield Hospital in Chelmsford.

This is what he looked like a few days after being admitted.

Police don't know what the motive was or

A 19`year`old man arrested in the early stages of the investigation

Mr Ingold is worried by the increase in this type of attack.

It it used to be knives and guns but now it is acid because it is

If you did meet the people who did this, what would you say to them?

You're ruining people's lives and you have no right to do that.

You don't know my life history, what right have you got to do that

Mr Ingold is moving out of his flat in Witham.

He says he can't stay there after what happened.

He desperately wants those responsible to be brought to justice

And Mr Ingold is not the only person to be attacked.

There has been a series of similar attacks in the region.

And across the country, the number of cases reaching

I should warn you you might find some of the pictures disturbing.

Public awareness says this crime is highlighted by Katie Piper.

She suffered severe injuries when an ex`boyfriend arranged

for sulphuric acid to be thrown in her face six years ago.

She's undergone over 100 operations and set up the Katie Piper

The ex`boyfriend and his accomplice are serving life sentences.

There have been other horror stories.

Two years ago, Naomi dreams of working in the beauty industry but

she was permanently disfigured and what the judge called a devastating

act. My face was black. My eyes were swollen. I was terrified. When this

interview was recorded, she didn't know one of her friends was the

attacker. That person feels and whatever their aim was. God has

given me life for a reason. Business student maybe is serving a 12 year

sentence. She disguised herself in a veil and threw acid and her

friend's face because she had once called her ugly. It had left her

paranoid and suicidal. In June this year, a 27`year`old man

had sulphuric acid sprayed in his face after being approached

by a stranger in Rayleigh. And last month there was

a chemical attack in Lowestoft, a woman in her twenties suffered

burns to her face and neck. I asked Suffolk Police about

previous acid attacks in the county. In the last five years,

there have been two. In November 2008, a man had

battery acid sprayed on him. And in August 2010, another was

sprayed with sulphuric acid. But as acid attacks are not recorded

as a specific offence, With 130 patients treated in English

hospitals last year after being injured

by corrosive substances, there have been calls for the police to monitor

these attacks more closely. There's been an angry reaction to

the idea that terror suspects could be moved from London and relocated

to places like Ipswich and Norwich. The Labour MP Hazel Blears said the

idea had worked in the past because it separated the suspects from other

people who might radicalise them. But critics say it could create

dumping grounds for trouble`makers. Hazel Blears sits on the

Intelligence and Security Committee. She claims that re`location of

terror suspects has worked in the past and was quite specific about

how you might shift troublemakers We could send people from London

to go and live in Ipswich. If you do that, the police can keep

a better eye on them and you can remove them from their

associates where they are plotting. In a separate interview she spoke

of how Norwich had been used for In fact, in 2011,

one terror suspect who had been moved from Crawley to the city

challenged the terms of his order. Lawyers claimed it was too

restrictive, he had no jobs or friends,

and was subject to racial abuse. A judge ruled that it was

necessary to protect the public. There should not be

a knee`jerk reaction or sweeping new blanket powers that would ultimately

be ineffective. Control orders were scrapped

by the coalition but yesterday the Prime Minister outlined plans to

go down a similar route with what he called stronger locational

restraints as part of a package to In Ipswich,

the local Tory MP worries about the potential impact on the local

police force and local people. Certainly

the communities where suspected terrorists are being moved to have

to have some kind of say in this. I'm sure that as Number 10

and the security services look at the options open to them,

they will be very mindful of that. There are a lot of people

in this country who are priming If they're going to associate with

people in London, it's not like it's too difficult to

get there from Ipswich. If you relocate them to

the Highlands of Scotland, I don't know about this Government,

they're absolutely ridiculous. I would not want to see Ipswich,

Norwich or indeed any other place become a go`to area where people are

relocated to. Perhaps ironically,

given what Hazel Blears had said, and the secrecy that surrounds

relocation, the fact that Ipswich and Norwich have been mentioned may

make it less likely we are going to If we get drug dealers or

paedophiles turning up at the We don't say, hold on a minute,

we don't like these guys, so we're going to send them to Norwich or

Ipswich or Peterborough or Luton. We deal with it

as we would any other crime. Another Suffolk Tory MP,

Therese Coffey, The police forces of both Suffolk

and Norfolk said today that they wouldn't comment

on matters involving terrorism. Hazel Blears wouldn't talk to us

today, but Lord Carlile is the former independent reviewer

of anti`terror legislation. Late this afternoon I asked him

is this useful? It's useful to relocate people who

are involved in terrorism well away from their

associates and terrorist activity. Combining relocation with

limitation of the Internet and mobile telephones and limiting the

people who can visit the individual It certainly worked under control

orders in the years up to 2011. When people are relocated, who is

in charge of monitoring them? Yes, the local police

in every case have a very There was a family liaison officer

to deal with individual and his or her family and it was no

disruption that I've never been Can you understand why the comments

from Hazel Blears have caused I can understand people being

concerned at the raw statement that people who are subject to control

orders being in their midst, but when you drill down

as to whether there is any substance The level of vigilance applied to

those people is so high that their presence in any given area is

actually likely to reduce the level of crime in that area

because of the police presence. Isn't there a chance that it could

spread out the potential for No, there is absolutely no

evidence of that ever happening. The way in

which control orders work limits the potential for spread because the

activities of the person concerned are monitored extremely carefully

using all the means available to There was a lot of controversy over

these kind of orders Do you believe they should

be brought back in? I very much do

and I was very pleased that the Prime Minister indicated that

this had been agreed between him self and the Deputy Prime Minister

by yesterday afternoon and I look forward to seeing the shape of the

legislation when it is introduced. The by`election in Clacton will

be held on Thursday October 9th. It was triggered by the defection

of Douglas Carswell from the Conservatives to the

UK Independence Party. Labour has already chosen

its candidate. He's Tim Young,

a councillor in Colchester. The Conservatives and the Lib Dems

still haven't chosen Here's our political

correspondent Andrew Sinclair. And this afternoon,

news of another opinion poll Yes, this is by Lord Ashcroft who

has always watched closely at Westminster. The question 1000

people in Clacton over the weekend and he has come up with a 32 point

lead for UKIP. UKIP are 56%, the Tories on 24%, Labour on 16% and

others on 2%, including the Liberal Democrats. UKIP added 44% lead in

another study who use another method, like the trend seems to be

that UKIP are doing quite well. Where does this leave the Tories? I

was talking to the Prime Minister was talking to the Prime Minister

last night and he admitted it will be a tough fight for his party.

Every Conservative MP and spoken to over the last 24 hours agrees and

seem quite depressed. But they are only a snapshot of opinion at the

time the poll was taken. UKIP have had a clear run. There has been no

proper campaigning or serious and analysis of the issues yet and

conservatives are saying look, once we get our candidates and place, we

can talk about the economy and cost of living. UKIP will come under very

close scrutiny about what it really stands for. A lot is going to change

and the next 37 days. Up to 140 jobs could be lost

in Ipswich at one Legal and General is closing one

of its offices and will offer most of the staff the chance to relocate

to either Birmingham or Hove. Some staff at the Customer Services

centre in Friars Bridge Road will be The Police and

the RSPCA have rescued a dog which This dog, called Spencer,

was hog`tied and abandoned in a park in Norwich in the early

hours of Saturday morning. His legs were tied together

and he'd been tied to a post. Still to come, the football transfer

window shuts for this year, so how did our clubs shape up? And the

Brewers going wild in their search for the perfect hop.

Campaigners in Essex say they're delighted that

plans for a so`called Boris Island airport have been rejected.

The Airports Commission was asked to look at where a new runway could be

Building in the Thames Estuary would be far too expensive.

The extra runway will probably be built at either Heathrow or Gatwick

although the Mayor of London has come out strongly

So what does all of this mean for airports in this region?

Hong Kong airport built in the sea, but Boris Johnson's version of

something similar was rejected today by an Airports Commission. It came

as no surprise. We thought it was a flight of fancy and we said the only

thing that should be on the island as a statue of Boris Johnson with

that slogan underneath it. We have vindicated and reviews. Nobody in

the aviation industry was surprised. When this first came out 56 years

ago, I give it a chance of one in 1000 are being built `` five or six

years. It was far too expensive. No one is more relieved than John

Fuller who spearheaded a campaign against it. He was admiring the

estuary he believes Boris Island would have destroyed. I think it

would have been a truism bombshell. `` tourism. It would have been

really damaging to the tourism industry here. It means a new runway

is much more likely to be built at Heathrow or Gatwick. But with

flights predicted to grow, airport are looking to the future

optimistically. The demise of Boris Island could be good news for

Stansted Airport. The managing director here wouldn't say that

himself today but he didn't make the Government that Stansted could play

a significant role in increasing airport capacity. And that's without

having to build a new runway. Without existing commission, we can

still get to 35 million passengers, so almost double in size. So the

Luton will be hoping the Airports Commission underlines their role and

the future of aviation, too. Meanwhile, Boris Johnson still holds

Airports Boris Island would remain a fantasy it will take a while. The

Airports Commission's final recommendations are expected next

summer. The vote on Scottish Independence

will take place in just over two weeks from now and,

of course, the outcome will be According to the latest census,

there are around 100,000 Scots And there are also many companies

who do business north of the border. Neither connection gives people

down here a right to a vote of course, but that doesn't mean

there's a lack of opinions. For every Scotsman you find banging

the drum for independence, you'll find another who wanted to stay part

of the United Kingdom. Ian is from the island of Allen and move to

Peterborough five years ago. He is a drum Sergeant in the local pipe

band. On the question of independence. I think I would be

leaning towards yes. In terms of visiting family in Scotland, I don't

think it will change. I have great faith in Scotland to be a prosperous

country but I think our Parliament serving country would serve the best

needs of Scottish people, any better way than London. There are 100,000

people from Scotland living in our region. Under the referendum, they

won't get a vote on independence because they don't live in Scotland

any more. We've got a satellite office in Falkirk. Some businesses

in East Anglia also have links to Scotland. This technical services

offers is. of the strong Scottish links in our

region. Many Scots moved down here for jobs at the steelworks in the

past, the town now with the real interest in Scotland's future

always priceless. Elsewhere, not a lot. Peterborough side and James,

Northampton brought in a couple of players, Cambridge one. That sums up

what it is like in the lower leagues, but when you're in the

football league, they rely on free transfers and loan signings. The

emergency transfer window opens next week.

It's the time of the year when our hedges are laden with

Sloes, rose hips and blackberries of course.

This year people are being asked to look out for something else `

These are hops. Belinda Jennings is a brewer in Southwold. The hunt is

on to find fresh hops, drawing much closer to home. These are nearly

ready. You can see that they are opening up a little bit. The actual

flavour we are after is at the base of the leaves. It contains the resin

and essential oils to provide the bitterness and aroma in beer. They

want to prove a pale ale using wild hops pecked by the public. The

result will be difficult to project. We've come five miles out and omits

the blackberries are hops. They aren't quite ready to pick. They had

to turn brown. You can pop them off, that's exactly what we are after.

Ten won will introduce from Flanders early 16th century. This campaign

gives them full marks for clever marketing. He hopes it is the

beginning of a revival. It is a wonderful thing to do, to revive the

use of hops. They grow naturally in our hedgerows. The tiny brewery in

Edwardson have their own microbrewery and grow their own

hops. It is nice to see small brewers using local ingredients.

They plan a one`off brew of ?60,000. If it goes well, the beer should be

in pubs by the end of the month. I've got ten won on my hedges.

They're very difficult to get rid of! `` hops. I should be packing

them in! A reasonable because weather ahead. It might start to get

cloudy. If we look at the satellite image, it has been cloudy this

afternoon. We have high pressure that is keeping things settled.

Across the eastern half, a lot of cloud moving in off the North Sea.

This is suspected to thin and break overnight so there will be clear

spells initially, but as the night progresses, it want of low cloud

moving in and some mist and fog. It is going to stay relatively mild,

temperatures anywhere between 12 and 14 Celsius. We start tomorrow

gloomy. A lot of mist and fog patches around with light, low

cloud. We start to see sunshine in the late morning. The western have

these cloudy through the early afternoon but where we get sunshine,

it will feel pleasantly warm in the 20s. Look at the temperatures across

the coast. Were a moderate breeze, they stay cooler. As the day

progresses, we will get drier air moving in from the continent.

That'll mean sunshine from all of us `` for all of us. This is the charge

for overnight once the low cloud comes back for Wednesday to

Thursday. We still have high pressure hanging on and so it keeps

our weather settled, but we might start to get a lot more cloud moving

in towards the end of the week. After a bit of a misty, cloudy start

to Thursday, long spells of sunshine are expected with temperatures

peaking into the mid`20s. Looking ahead, the jury is out on her much

cloud we will get for Friday and Saturday. Will it stays cloudy, it

will hold temperatures back at 18 or 19 Celsius. But with sunshine, these

could get higher, so we can get more than 20 Celsius for Friday and

Saturday. Sunday is a sunny start turning cloudy. That's all for now.

Goodbye.
