:13:01. > :13:03.more to prevent a bipolar mother killing her baby. That's the

:13:03. > :13:07.conclusion of an independent investigation. Six-week-old Faith

:13:07. > :13:11.died in 2009. Her mother Julia Lovemore had pushed pages of the

:13:11. > :13:14.bible into the child's mouth before smothering her. The report said the

:13:14. > :13:21.Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust failed to assess

:13:21. > :13:24.the extent of risk. Controversial plans to build more than 600 homes

:13:24. > :13:28.on part of a flood plain in Northampton could be given the go-

:13:28. > :13:30.ahead tonight. Parts of the town were badly flooded in 1998, and

:13:30. > :13:34.many residents say the development called Pineham will make

:13:34. > :13:38.surrounding villages more likely to flood again. Our reporter Jozef

:13:38. > :13:46.Hall is in Northampton now where a planning meeting is taking place.

:13:46. > :13:54.Jozef, what have the developers had to say? The developers say they've

:13:54. > :13:58.worked with the environment agency on the scheme. I spoke to Prologis

:13:58. > :14:01.and the builders before they went into the meeting. They said it was

:14:02. > :14:08.important to understand where they are again talking about this side.

:14:08. > :14:13.It is currently a big empty field. And it is bordered by a lake. I

:14:13. > :14:17.absolutely perfect for building new homes. They say that is backed up

:14:17. > :14:21.by the Environment Agency. They have approved the plans twice. They

:14:21. > :14:25.are saying it is not a flood risk and we should be building there.

:14:25. > :14:35.Not only new homes would be there but big wide-open spaces, plus of

:14:35. > :14:40.

:14:40. > :14:44.course, job opportunities and a new school. All of Cambridgeshire's

:14:44. > :14:45.black bin waste is being thrown into landfill because the machine

:14:45. > :14:47.that turns rubbish into biodegradable matter at the

:14:47. > :14:53.Waterbeach waste plant has broken. 4,500 tonnes have been dumped in

:14:53. > :14:57.the last ten days costing nearly �300,000 in landfill tax. Black

:14:57. > :15:07.been rubbish, some recyclable. Thousands of tons of Grosseteste

:15:07. > :15:13.here. For now, it is all destined for landfill. When this machine is

:15:13. > :15:19.working it processes 450 tonnes of black been rubbish every day. We

:15:19. > :15:25.filmed it when you in 2009. The waste is turned to let air in added

:15:25. > :15:29.use organic content but now the arm that supports the wheel has broken.

:15:29. > :15:33.There has been a failure of the support structure. We are not sure

:15:34. > :15:38.of the cause. We have experts on site today. They have been going

:15:38. > :15:44.over it with a fine-tooth comb. We expect the report some time at the

:15:45. > :15:49.end of October. The council says the plant has saved �300 in land

:15:49. > :15:57.filling costs since it opened -- 300 million. It will be out of rock

:15:57. > :16:01.-- action until at least the end of October. The council says any

:16:01. > :16:05.additional costs to the taxpayer will be kept to a minimum. I think

:16:05. > :16:08.the taxpayer will foot the bill. I just think that if somebody

:16:08. > :16:12.provides a service then they should be providing the service and if

:16:12. > :16:18.they cannot do that, they should be paying for the alternative. If they

:16:18. > :16:23.can fix it or buy a new one, it may be cheaper. The does not know why

:16:23. > :16:27.the machine broke and the councils say roadside collection corrections

:16:27. > :16:31.will not be affected. A sofa company in Northampton has released

:16:31. > :16:35.CCTV images of a burglary. But thanks to one of their employees

:16:35. > :16:38.the thieves didn't get the result they'd hoped for. Police have

:16:38. > :16:45.released CCTV pictures of the moment a worker at a sofa company

:16:45. > :16:48.thwarted burglars. The men had loaded several sofas into their van

:16:48. > :16:55.but thanks to the swift actions of the employee they didn't get the

:16:55. > :17:01.result they'd hoped for. I'm hoping that they have actually found the

:17:01. > :17:07.guys involved. They think he did recognise them. To a brand new

:17:07. > :17:11.sofas are loaded into a van. The store manager pulls the sofas back

:17:11. > :17:16.out of it after they left the doors open. If you put a Benny Hill theme

:17:16. > :17:26.tune to the actual footage itself, there are two guys complete idiots,

:17:26. > :17:32.knowing they were probably on- camera, and then they just needed

:17:32. > :17:35.some blue and red pants under Kate coming to the rescue her. Football

:17:35. > :17:37.and Darren Ferguson wants his players to show the same desire

:17:37. > :17:42.they showed at Hull, when they face Barnsley in the Championship
