:00:15. > :00:21.It is hard enough being told you cannot have a child, and thdn being

:00:41. > :00:57.big changes in the help infdrtile In Essex they have decided
:00:58. > :01:03.fertility treatment will no The decision was made late
:01:04. > :01:09.this afternoon by the Mid Essex 3,000 IVF treatments are
:01:10. > :01:14.performed across the East. Each year, 100 of those havd been
:01:15. > :01:18.in Mid Essex. Stopping routine IVF treatmdnt goes
:01:19. > :01:22.directly against NICE guidelines. There's only one other area
:01:23. > :01:35.of the country that has madd Rachel and Tom with their
:01:36. > :01:41.six`month`old daughter. The NHS paid for them to have IVF treatmdnt. We
:01:42. > :01:46.wouldn't have her if we didn't have the funding. She's gorgeous, lovely
:01:47. > :01:52.baby. But IVF or eggs removdd from the woman and mixed with sptn in a
:01:53. > :01:57.lab is expensive. One cycle of treatment can cost ?5,000. @t a
:01:58. > :02:00.meeting in Braintree, the mhd six Clinical Commissioning Group, the
:02:01. > :02:05.NHS body that pays for health care in the Chelmsford area, dechded it
:02:06. > :02:12.couldn't afford to pay for ht any more. It needs to balance the books
:02:13. > :02:18.is. It is forecasting a defhcit in 2014`15. The Clinical Commissioning
:02:19. > :02:23.Group was consulting the public about only paying for IVF for cancer
:02:24. > :02:25.patients or women whose partners are HIV`positive but today it wdnt
:02:26. > :02:35.further, stopping IVF compldtely unless they're up exception`l
:02:36. > :02:40.circumstances. I am shocked and so, so disappointed. I think it is
:02:41. > :02:44.outrageous that they have gone from providing three cycles to nothing at
:02:45. > :02:49.all. Access to IVF on the NHS already varies across our rdgion. In
:02:50. > :02:53.these areas, women under 40 can have three cycles, but in these `reas,
:02:54. > :02:58.there are only entitled to two. The only other area where they've
:02:59. > :03:03.stopped paying for IVF is your, a move which has saved ?2 million
:03:04. > :03:08.This was the reaction in Br`intree. I think it is disgusting. I know
:03:09. > :03:15.someone at the moment going through IVF. I think it is wrong. If you're
:03:16. > :03:21.not able to have children n`turally. It is bad. It is the most alazing
:03:22. > :03:24.experience women can have. Chelmsford said that women hn
:03:25. > :05:44.mid`Essex would be forced because of your decision. That is
:05:45. > :05:51.possible but we have made a decision on the basis of the fact th`t we
:05:52. > :05:55.have to look after the health care of 380,000 people. And we h`ve to
:05:56. > :06:00.make some very difficult judgements. It hasn't been `n easy
:06:01. > :06:05.one, and I feel very sad for those patients affected by it. Yot have
:06:06. > :06:08.said you will review this. The only other place that has made this
:06:09. > :06:12.decision, the failure of York, said it would review it every ye`r but it
:06:13. > :06:18.has never changed its mind. You will never go back a winning? Fala
:06:19. > :06:25.circumstances change in less than the normal time, we would lhke to
:06:26. > :06:28.change it because that is otr aspiration, to provide the full
:06:29. > :06:31.range of care for all of our patients but at the moment we are so
:06:32. > :06:34.financially challenged that we have to make some very tough chohces
:06:35. > :06:41.Thank you very much. There was more evidence tod`y
:06:42. > :06:44.of the chaotic investigation by Thai police into the deaths of the
:06:45. > :06:46.Norfolk student Hannah Withdridge. Yesterday police hunting her killer
:06:47. > :06:49.said they were close to makhng Today they've restarted
:06:50. > :06:51.the investigation for the fourth time and havd no
:06:52. > :06:54.clear leads and no clear suspects. BBC Correspondent Jonathan
:06:55. > :07:05.Head sent this report. It has now been 11 days since the
:07:06. > :07:09.body of Hannah Witheridge and David Mellor were found here. We have seen
:07:10. > :07:19.a steady procession of police from all sorts of units arriving here to
:07:20. > :07:25.join the search. They are today restarting the investigation for the
:07:26. > :07:28.fourth time. That sends a mdssage of a very confused and chaotic
:07:29. > :07:31.investigation and, certainlx, it looks like a lot of opportunities
:07:32. > :07:35.were missed early on in the days after the killings. The polhce are
:07:36. > :07:39.still telling us they are optimistic. We don't know what
:07:40. > :07:43.they've got but they insist the evidence they are accumulathng, the
:07:44. > :07:48.information, is getting thel closer to naming a suspect. We havd had a
:07:49. > :07:52.lot of contradictory messagds from them, stuff that doesn't give a
:07:53. > :07:56.clear picture, but they are telling us to keep faith because thdy will
:07:57. > :08:01.solve this crime. In the last few days, a lot of the focus has been on
:08:02. > :08:05.one of the big families, a powerful family here. The own a lot of land.
:08:06. > :08:11.They have been questioning ` father, a brother and a son. There was some
:08:12. > :08:15.thought that perhaps they wdre involved, that DNA tests wotld link
:08:16. > :08:19.them to the murder. That hasn't happened, they've been cleared. As
:08:20. > :08:24.far as we know, the police have no clear leads and no clear suspects.
:08:25. > :08:28.We do not send any real progress at the moment in this long and
:08:29. > :08:31.difficult investigation but the police are saying is still they are
:08:32. > :08:34.making progress and they will get a result.
:08:35. > :08:37.Within 48 hours fighter jets from this region could be attackhng
:08:38. > :08:40.targets in the Middle East once again. This afternoon the c`binet

:08:59. > :09:04.Nine Squadron from RAF Marh`m parading in the town. They've
:09:05. > :09:09.returned from a four`month deployment of tennis stardol. But as
:09:10. > :09:15.one sortie ends, another is escalating, this time in Ir`q. We
:09:16. > :09:19.know it is entirely possibld that it will be a rapid turnaround, everyone
:09:20. > :09:25.accepts that. This is what we get paid for at the end of the day. RAF
:09:26. > :09:29.Marham, home of the Tornado, is at the forefront against the fhght
:09:30. > :09:34.against Islamist terrorism. Its last combat mission before it pulls out
:09:35. > :09:41.mission is enough `` pulls out is in Afghanistan. Meanwhile two Squadron
:09:42. > :09:47.was deployed to West Africa in this search for another Islamist group.
:09:48. > :09:51.They have six tornadoes prepositioned in Cyprus carrying out
:09:52. > :09:55.reconnaissance missions over northern Iraqi. It is their function
:09:56. > :10:01.that could change. Up till now they have used imaging equipment to
:10:02. > :10:06.assist but now they could t`ke part in air strikes on vehicles hn
:10:07. > :10:11.convoys. Not everyone is in favour. We have to ask ourselves, why is
:10:12. > :10:15.there jihadist terrorism? It is because we and our allies h`ve been,
:10:16. > :10:20.as they see it, occupying Arab and muslin lands over the last 45 years.
:10:21. > :10:24.Unless we can deal with the root cause of this, it isn't going to go
:10:25. > :10:29.away. This would be seen as bombing on behalf of one side and a Civil
:10:30. > :10:32.War. If the government approves air strikes, more aircraft could be
:10:33. > :10:39.deployed, including those from American airbases, like Lakdnheath.
:10:40. > :10:43.Paul Smyth is a former Torn`do navigator, and he hopes thex will be
:10:44. > :10:47.assisting instead of attackhng. It is very important to enable the
:10:48. > :10:55.local Arab states to have a leading role in fighting IS and the
:10:56. > :11:00.tornadoes can help provide information to those carrying out
:11:01. > :11:04.the offensive. The decision will be made by politicians back in London
:11:05. > :11:08.tomorrow. The real impact whll be felt by RAF personnel and their

:11:34. > :11:43.Ten years ago, Mark Cran well, then 49, gave up his lifestyle anonymity

:11:48. > :11:53.nitty`gritty of his existence. Today, he is back to see how things
:11:54. > :11:59.have changed. I was slightlx fitter ten years ago. I did a lot lore
:12:00. > :12:03.exercise. The last few years, my work has consisted more of paperwork
:12:04. > :12:10.rather than being out, moving around, so that has got to have some
:12:11. > :12:15.knock`on effect. This scan, which measures body fat, shows mark is
:12:16. > :12:20.still fit and well but, as we can see, that is not always the case.
:12:21. > :12:27.People would have probably put on a little bit of weight, most people.
:12:28. > :12:32.On average. Most people would probably have the crease to their

:14:04. > :14:06.Most of the barley used for brewing beer comes from farms
:14:07. > :14:09.So the raw materials are right on our doorstep.
:14:10. > :14:12.There are 114 breweries across the East nearly 10%
:14:13. > :14:20.And most of our 4,300 pubs sell cask ale
:14:21. > :14:30.So we grow it we brew it and we drink it as Ian Barmer reports.
:14:31. > :14:37.This Norfolk ale is typical of a small brewery springing up `cross
:14:38. > :14:40.the East. Just outside Fakenham she brews 3 billion years. It is a small
:14:41. > :14:46.operation producing around 4,00 pints a week. Already she h`s won a
:14:47. > :14:51.Gold award from the campaign for real ale. Ebola more interested
:14:52. > :14:57.about their food and drink, where it comes from, what goes into ht.
:14:58. > :15:05.Therefore, that has contribtted to the rise of interest, and the
:15:06. > :15:08.excitement. What is cask ald? It is unpasteurised and contains live
:15:09. > :15:13.Easter so it continues to fdrment in its cask in the pub cellar. It isn't
:15:14. > :15:18.fizzy, only containing natural carbon dioxide. It's what m`ny
:15:19. > :15:22.people know as real ale. Adnams is one of the biggest producers of car
:15:23. > :15:26.scale in the east and that dquates to more than 18 million pints a
:15:27. > :15:34.year. Brewing here is high`tech but the process doesn't change. This is
:15:35. > :15:41.rinsing the Bali to extract all the sugar, which is then converted to
:15:42. > :15:48.alcohol. This is the special place where we store Bali. Adnams use
:15:49. > :15:52.barley grown in Norfolk and Suffolk. It is the Champagne region for Bali.
:15:53. > :15:58.This is the black mortar colour up some of our beers. Interesthng beer
:15:59. > :16:04.is growing. This is one of the brewery tours and more interest has
:16:05. > :16:10.translated to record sales hn 2 14. It is a fantastic time for cask
:16:11. > :16:14.beer. We are growing, most breweries at growing, there are three
:16:15. > :16:19.breweries opening up in the UK now each week. In Newton near C`mbridge,
:16:20. > :16:24.they are proud of their cask ales. Sales are good, interest is growing.
:16:25. > :16:30.There are more microbrewerids being set up. We have won over thd hill in
:16:31. > :16:37.Haston, who is doing great guns And that helps to improve the
:16:38. > :16:43.experience. 70 million pints of car scale are drunk in this reghon every
:16:44. > :16:47.year. And that is keeping breweries in business and helping pubs to keep

:20:26. > :20:32.back. I spent my childhood hn this school. All my family used to teach

:20:58. > :21:02.`I've? We heard that when she was four, she hit a golf ball over a
:21:03. > :21:07.house. That is amazing, acttally. It's didn't feel real because you
:21:08. > :21:13.see her on telly, and peopld that were treating her like the Pueen,
:21:14. > :21:17.but she is a normal girl. I remember quite clearly one Monday morning,
:21:18. > :21:23.her coming in to share a trophy with the rest of the cars, and she pulled
:21:24. > :21:29.out the BBC Young Person 's sports personality award which was as her.
:21:30. > :21:35.This was her nine years ago. She had just won the ladies amateur title,

:21:41. > :21:44.2014, she has already won hdr first professional tournament, helped
:21:45. > :21:53.Europe when the Solheim cup, and is taking on the world. I have had a
:21:54. > :21:58.great season so far. I finished fourth last week. I'm consistently
:21:59. > :22:02.being in the top ten as well. I have got a lot of experience unddr my
:22:03. > :22:08.belt. Hopefully going on to the future. Before she left, tile for a
:22:09. > :22:15.quick lesson to a grateful xear six. Some, though, clearly have work to
:22:16. > :22:19.do. When she was four, she could hit the
