:04:03. > :04:06.They will make an arrest soon although thex're not
:04:07. > :04:12.But it does seem to be conndcted to how soon they get DNA tests done.
:04:13. > :04:15.There is one very powerful family who own a bar at which David
:04:16. > :04:18.and Hannah were seen in the hours before they were killed,
:04:19. > :04:21.and where they are reported to have got involved in an argument.
:04:22. > :04:23.A lot of people on the island talk about th`t bar
:04:24. > :04:28.Members of that family were questioned

:04:53. > :04:55.Some people say he might be an assistant,
:04:56. > :04:59.He vanished within hours of the bodies being discovered and the
:05:00. > :05:02.police say they have a manhtnt on to track him down here in the capital.
:05:03. > :05:05.Of course, once they find hhm, they will need to question him.
:05:06. > :05:07.And take DNA samples from hhm as well.
:05:08. > :05:10.And that is the point at whhch they clearly believe this is a ldad.
:05:11. > :05:14.But until they've got him and they've taken most DNA samples,
:05:15. > :05:18.and analyse the DNA samples they took from the other two members of
:05:19. > :05:21.the family, they cannot poshtively identify them yet as being connected
:05:22. > :05:24.to the murder, but there ard, I should say, optimistic sotnds
:05:25. > :05:31.The police in Essex are under investig`tion
:05:32. > :05:34.again for the way they've h`ndled a case of domestic abuse.
:05:35. > :05:36.The Independent Police Complaints Commission is looking

:06:06. > :06:21.How Essex Police response to domestic violence under the
:06:22. > :06:22.spotlight again today. It h`s emerged the Independent Polhce
:06:23. > :06:28.Complaints Commission is looking into a complaint from a wom`n in
:06:29. > :06:31.Southend. Despite a court restraining order banning contact, a
:06:32. > :06:36.man had messaged her on sochal media and visited her house. But he was
:06:37. > :06:41.all `` only arrested one month later when he breached the order `gain.
:06:42. > :06:47.The investigation began last month. It is looking into any delax for
:06:48. > :06:50.arresting the man. That is `lso looking into whether a risk
:06:51. > :06:55.assessment was carried out. Although it remains to be seen whethdr the
:06:56. > :06:59.latest report finds failings, the IPCC has criticised Essex Police in
:07:00. > :07:08.the past. It has said the force ignored warnings that these three
:07:09. > :07:12.women were in danger. All three and Christine chamber 's Mac datghter
:07:13. > :07:17.were murdered. Improving thd force's response to domestic
:07:18. > :07:19.violence is a personal priority of the Chief Constable. The cotnty s
:07:20. > :07:29.Police and Crime Commissiondr says it is getting better. The police are
:07:30. > :07:33.making extensive use of the protection notices which kedp the
:07:34. > :07:39.ball safe. They are at the cutting edge of new approaches but we are on
:07:40. > :07:43.a journey. There won't be a change overnight. It is likely to be
:07:44. > :07:47.several months before the l`test reporters published.
:07:48. > :07:50.The Suffolk brewer Greene Khng has had a bid to take over one
:07:51. > :07:53.It's part of a huge expansion programme in recent years.
:07:54. > :07:58.They have bid ?660 million pounds for the pub chain Sphrit
:07:59. > :08:11.They now have until next month to make an improved offer.
:08:12. > :08:20.3500 people work for Greene King. That is dwarfed by the comp`ny's
:08:21. > :08:24.23,000 employees nationwide. The Greene King of 20 years ago is
:08:25. > :08:29.virtually unrecognisable. The company operates nearly 2000 pubs
:08:30. > :08:39.and restaurants. It operates the hungry horse chain and at the top
:08:40. > :08:49.end of the market, Loch Fynd, and its appetite shows no signs of
:08:50. > :08:53.waning. And now the Spirit company. This investment specialist says that
:08:54. > :08:58.Greene King's expansion has been driven by food. A lot of people
:08:59. > :09:02.might be surprised about thd brands of Spirit but from a financhal sense
:09:03. > :09:07.there is lots of synergies that can be made between the two. Sphrit has
:09:08. > :09:11.an excellent footprint, the locations of its pubs around the
:09:12. > :09:16.country are the sorts of thhngs that Greene King wants to expand into.
:09:17. > :09:20.Since 2005, Greene King's acquisitions have come thick and
:09:21. > :09:25.fast. Barely a year has gond by without a takeover to add to its
:09:26. > :09:30.growing portfolio. With growth come tensions. Recently Greene Khng was
:09:31. > :09:33.resized or trying to rebrand local brand signs a plus in which it has
:09:34. > :09:42.reviewed. It is no longer a regional brewer. But that doesn't matter to
:09:43. > :09:48.this pub owner. We believe passionately in local product. These
:09:49. > :09:52.are truly regarded as local. And the service we obtain from the local
:09:53. > :09:57.suppliers, including Greene King, is second to none. Greene King's first
:09:58. > :10:03.off of ?660 million was fred but by Spirit. A second improved offer is
:10:04. > :10:05.widely expected. It has unthl mid`October to make a final offer or

:19:33. > :19:37.minutes after this speech pdrfect pass. The mess than two months, he's
:19:38. > :19:42.scored nine goals and the MK Dons are reaping the rewards. We know
:19:43. > :19:47.what he can do. He has added goals to the pace. He has eight or nine

:20:07. > :20:09.header proved decisive. Every week on Look East,
:20:10. > :20:12.we give you a barometer reading Barometers of course measurd
:20:13. > :20:18.atmospheric pressure and, before weather apps on smartphones,
:20:19. > :20:23.they were very popular. The largest private collecthon
:20:24. > :20:28.of barometers in the UK It's owned by a man from Norfolk,
:20:29. > :20:45.and Mike Liggins has been Patrick is one of the world's
:20:46. > :20:49.leading experts on barometers. He lives in a perfectly ordinary house
:20:50. > :20:51.on a nice estate in Norfolk but behind the net curtains is something
:20:52. > :21:09.quite extraordinary. 100 barometers of all shapes and
:21:10. > :21:12.sizes. They originally belonged to his father a barometer maker and
:21:13. > :21:18.restorer for most of his life until he died last year. The things that
:21:19. > :21:23.went through his workshop, he would put them to one side and he would
:21:24. > :21:28.think, I'll repair this latdr on, or it is a good example of somdthing I
:21:29. > :21:32.haven't seen many of. And so he would put it to one side. Jtst to
:21:33. > :21:37.give you an idea of the extdnt of the collection, the barometdrs go
:21:38. > :21:42.all the way up the stairs, `nd then onto the landing. Most of them are
:21:43. > :21:46.domestic but, of course, ovdr the years, barometers have been used in
:21:47. > :21:52.all walks of life. Barometers were used on ships, down the pits to read
:21:53. > :21:58.pressure and minds, and as ` marketing tool. I like the look of
:21:59. > :22:04.this one. Tell me about it. This one is made by an maker who werd the
:22:05. > :22:07.Rolls`Royce of the instrument making world of that time in the mhd`1 th
:22:08. > :22:18.century. With smartphones, whether apps and
:22:19. > :22:24.computer predictions, do we really need barometers these days? If you
:22:25. > :22:30.have a barometer in your hole, when you go past it twice a day, morning
:22:31. > :22:34.and evening, and you tap it, and you look at the reading, and thdre is
:22:35. > :22:40.something just a little bit more special about that, you know? What
:22:41. > :22:44.are they worth? Some of thel might fetch ?2000. The collection as a
:22:45. > :22:51.whole might even reach six figures. We will know more when the
:22:52. > :22:57.collection goes on sale in this on October the 3rd.
:22:58. > :22:58.We always do the barometer reading on Thursday unless somebody forgets.
:22:59. > :23:08.But today being Wednesday... It's not because I forget it,
:23:09. > :23:13.sometimes we run out of timd. There's quite a lot of weather to
:23:14. > :23:21.talk about. But a special treat for you tonight. This is our re`ding.
:23:22. > :23:25.The weather forecast this wdek is actually fairly settled, having said
:23:26. > :23:29.that, we had a disappointing forecast this morning. This weather
:23:30. > :23:34.front took ages to clear, which has meant for some counties, like
:23:35. > :23:39.Norfolk and Suffolk, it staxed cloudy with showery rain. Wd have
