lives were put at risk is a step agreed to represent those who worked | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
at the British steel plant in Corby. Some of them developed lung cancer | :01:15. | :01:21. | |

Horrendous, really will stop when you think about it, it was really, | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
really bad, it was a bad job, if dangerous and dirty job. David | :02:14. | :02:32. | |
years ago, he had part of his lung removed after being diagnosed with | :02:32. | :02:33. | |

had which they believe was because of the working conditions. It is the | :02:46. | :02:56. | |

think about it, because you had was smoke and fumes, everything | :02:57. | :03:07. | |

for compensation for the Corby children born with limb deformities. | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
The High Court ruled that Corby Council was negligent in its clear | :03:16. | :03:19. | |

day off on the banks of the River Cam. A local fisherman said today | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
that the children were mucking around, splashing in the water and | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
he saw them jump in, he saw one around, splashing in the water and | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
escaped a struggle but he thought they were messing around. By the | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
time Andy's friends realised he they were messing around. By the | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
in time, it was to late. A number of people tried to find him, police | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
search and rescue, firemen and the public, but his body was found the | :05:24. | :05:30. | |

The children were witnesses, did the distressing to bring them into | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
statements. The children described Andy as able to swim but not strong | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
swimmer. Before they jump in, one child asked him if he was sure, | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
swimmer. Before they jump in, one was not a good swimmer. One girl | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
said he appeared to get his foot stuck, he was struggling and calling | :05:53. | :06:00. | |
for help. We had from a detective sergeant who described the water | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
visibility as poor, there were a lot of read and you could not see the | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
bottom, which is why it took so of read and you could not see the | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
What the reaction from the coroner? He said the childrenstatements were | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
extremely harrowing and he would contact him at council with a bid to | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
putting in more life aid on the river bank. —— he would contact | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
The troubled Surgicentre at the Stevenage hospital is tonight back | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
in the hands of the NHS. The deal has cost £15 million but managers | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
say the change will ensure patient safety after previous owners were | :06:36. | :06:43. | |
criticised for poor standards of care. It is the same building, but | :06:43. | :06:52. | |
the Surgicentre is no more. The criticised, services were deemed | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
substandard, patient files were lost. Three people died. Now it | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
substandard, patient files were back in the hands of the NHS. The | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
main difference is that the facility is being run by clinical members of | :07:04. | :07:10. | |
staff, so doctors and nurses who have a real working knowledge of how | :07:10. | :07:17. | |
a building like this should be used to the optimum. The difference that | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
will change will be an increase to the optimum. The difference that | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
facility. That means treating more people. These six theatres here | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
facility. That means treating more not used enough. GPs had been told | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
not to refer patients for routine needing routine surgery travelled | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
miles to other hospitals. The centre treats 200 patients per week, staff | :07:38. | :07:46. | |
and to do more. At the moment it is half full, that is appalling when | :07:46. | :07:56. | |
understand the anxiety that people had, there was a problem with the | :07:56. | :08:06. | |
change. I am sure people will make these services highly now. I am | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
change. I am sure people will make happy it is being changed, you get | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
better service, and you are well looked after. I hope the service | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
will be better, they will find the notes better. Managers here know it | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
will not be easy winning back the Stephen McPartland is the MP for | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
Stevenage and has campaigned for the centre to come under NHS control. I | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
spoke to him and asked him whether this suggested that privatisation | :08:36. | :08:43. | |
does not work. The problem we had previous government —— under the | :08:43. | :08:53. | |
previous government which was not up to scratch. The medical director was | :08:53. | :09:00. | |
you are convinced the situation could not happen again under your | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
party's drive to bring more private money into the NHS? My party does | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
not have any drive to bring private money into the NHS, we are proud of | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
it and we're not going to privatise it. The Secretary of State and the | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
prime ministry —— Prime Minister has said that. This situation can never | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
happen again, and it would never happen under our control because | :09:24. | :09:32. | |
under the previous government, you just had to be willing, now you | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
under the previous government, you to be qualified and have experience | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
of providing patient treatment. This has cost a lot of money for the | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
NHS, £15 million, is that good value for your constituents? It sounds | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
like a large sum of money, the facility is state—of—the—art and the | :09:49. | :10:06. | |
bought, like your house, you would have two gets money from people | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
buying your house. What will this mean for patients? It means that it | :10:10. | :10:19. | |
will be managed by doctors and nurses, so now patients will be | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
will be managed by doctors and first and they will be put first | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
with their families. Are you saying the best NHS hospitals should be run | :10:26. | :10:36. | |
forward? As far as I'm concerned, the best hospitals are run by the | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
best managers that are proud of the best hospitals are run by the | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
are building the Lister Hospital into a centre of clinical excellence | :10:44. | :10:52. | |
and it is stuffed full of people who are proud of the NHS and I am very | :10:52. | :11:00. | |
A new campaign was launched today opposing plans for a toll on the | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
section of the A14. Companies which use the road every day say it could | :11:04. | :11:12. | |
The government says says it is keen to hear what people say about this | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
Suffolk, critics were not holding back, accusing ministers of muddled | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
thinking. Rather than consultation, they want the idea consigned to | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
thinking. Rather than consultation, scrapheap. If government was to | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
think of wanting to shoot themselves in the foot and with the ricochet of | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
the bullet, shoot us in the head, they could not have devised a better | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
plan. The government says if they want a less congested A14, this | :11:39. | :11:46. | |
plan. The government says if they the answer. But today, it is being | :11:46. | :11:47. | |
talked about that it could have the answer. But today, it is being | :11:47. | :11:53. | |

Officers investigating the murder of a grandfather from Kempston says | :12:47. | :12:55. | |
developments in the case. Jewellery taken from the home has been found | :12:55. | :12:59. | |

away for tests. He was stabbed to death in May in his house. It is a | :13:07. | :13:17. | |
significant because it is a link between two areas which we have | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
significant because it is a link before. It also offers potential | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
forensics opportunities and that jewellery will be going after the | :13:22. | :13:29. | |
examination, so it is very useful progress. Royal Mail is recruiting | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
more than 2000 seasonal workers progress. Royal Mail is recruiting | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
its sorting centres across the region. It wants to take on more | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
than 1000 staff in Northampton for the Christmas period. 300 in the | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
days and the bilingual reach its final destination —— the barley will | :13:41. | :13:50. | |
reach. It's final destination of Libya. | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
Still to come, we need your suggestions for the region's unsung | :13:54. | :14:03. | |
sporting heroes. And the best college in the country for A—level | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
results, so how do they do it? We speak to the principal and the | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
students. The UK Independence Party is meeting | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
in London tonight for it's annual conference. The party leader has | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
told us he's proud of the role UKIP councillors are playing on local | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
authorities in this region. Four months ago, the party gained 45 | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
seats on our county councils. Critics say those new councillors | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
haven't been good enough. But leader Nigel Farage rejects that, saying | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
they've been playing a constructive role. Our political correspondent | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
Andrew Sinclair is in at Westminster. | :14:41. | :14:48. | |
We seem to have a problem getting the sound. I think we can hear his | :14:48. | :14:56. | |
report. It is the party that refuses to go | :14:56. | :15:04. | |
away. For the last 14 years its opponents have claimed UKIP is just | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
a flash in the pan. Yet it keeps on winning elections. In Cambridgeshire | :15:09. | :15:15. | |
and here in Norfolk, so many UKIP councillors were elected that they | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
were able to persuade the authorities to change the way in | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
which decisions are made. We have really shaken things up. Cabinet | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
government is to end in Norfolk County Council because of UKIP, | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
array. Normally UKIP hold their conferences in hotels. This year | :15:28. | :15:34. | |
they have picked the grand setting of Westminster Central Hall. The | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
party believes it has turned a corner and is being taken more | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
seriously. At those who have to deal with UKIP on a daily basis have | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
concerns —— but those. They claim its members don't turn up for | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
meetings and obsess about national issues. I am not convinced they are | :15:50. | :15:57. | |
making the sort of impact that benefits the people of the county in | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
the way that they would like. It is naivete that goes with that. A real | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
lack of understanding of what Cambridgeshire is about, of what the | :16:08. | :16:09. | |
places they represent are about. One of the criticisms I often hear is | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
that your councillors know a lot about Europe and immigration and | :16:15. | :16:22. | |
national issues but they are vague when it comes to local issues, are | :16:22. | :16:23. | |
they out of their depth? No but they proved we have a bit to learn. But I | :16:23. | :16:31. | |
think they will, and the reason I think that is because our | :16:31. | :16:32. | |
councillors, like MEP candidates, are being drawn from a very wide | :16:32. | :16:38. | |
background and different experiences of life. Nigel Farage knows that | :16:39. | :16:39. | |
with councillors in local government, his body has an | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
opportunity to show the public it can be serious if given | :16:44. | :16:45. | |
responsibility. —— his party has opportunity. When he meets them he | :16:45. | :16:51. | |
will say well done but he will also say, don't mess up. | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
We will try again. Those UKIP members meeting just down the road | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
tonight and they are in buoyant mood. This really has been the year | :16:59. | :17:05. | |
that UKIP entered the mainstream of British politics, winning 150 | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
council seats across the country. Mr Farage was saying he does not want | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
them to be dogs in a manger commie wants them be very constructive. The | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
problem is that UKIP is under enormous scrutiny. Already one | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
councillor has resigned and two are under investigation in Norfolk. In | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
Cambridgeshire, a councillor has been investigated and in | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
Lincolnshire, the entire party has fallen out with each other. It has a | :17:29. | :17:36. | |
long way to go before anyone will take it very seriously. | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
If you are looking for a school or college that gets good results in | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
A—levels and gets students into the right university, look no further. | :17:46. | :17:47. | |
The best place in the country is Hills Road Sixth Form College in | :17:47. | :17:54. | |
Cambridge. So how do they do it? A one—to—one tutorial system is, they | :17:54. | :18:02. | |
say, at least part of the answer. But now a change in the way colleges | :18:02. | :18:03. | |
are funded is making it increasingly unaffordable. Ben Bland has spent a | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
day with staff and students. Achieving your goals isn't always | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
easy. But each year most of the students at Hillsborough in sixth | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
form college get places at top universities including Cambridge and | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
Oxford. And this is what gives them the edge. Hazel wants to study law | :18:19. | :18:25. | |
and in this personal tutorial session, she's getting advice on | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
application. We were going through my personal statement, Miss Higgins | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
was helping me identify what I could expand on. It is only in the | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
one—to—one meetings that they can hone in on smaller things that are | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
specific to you like extracurricular and things like that. It was the | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
best performing state sixth form college in England. 80% of the | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
greats that students got here were within the range of grades required | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
by top universities. It is significantly higher than the | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
national average. That is why this college gets many more applications | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
from students than there are places available. Practical subjects like | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
science are popular here, but expensive to provide. The way the | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
government fund sixth form education is changing this month. Under the | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
new formula, colleges like this could get less money, making it hard | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
to keep providing those personal tutorials. We have to find a way to | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
ensure we continue to offer that high—quality guidance. It is a | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
challenge, it is not going to be easy but we have to find a way to | :19:31. | :19:38. | |
keep it. It is really at the heart of what we do. That will mean making | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
savings in other areas and was welcomed in the common room. The | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
tutorial system is great, we get weekly reminders of what we have to | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
do. My tutors help me a lot, I wasn't sure if I wanted to take a | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
gap year and he has provided a lot of support. There have already been | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
cuts to further education for 16 to 19—year—olds in recent years. The | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
challenge is to find ways of saving even more money by keeping a prized | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
possession at the top of the table —— position. | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
The search is onto find this year's BBC East Sporting Unsung Hero. We're | :20:16. | :20:17. | |
looking for people who give up hours of their own time to help others | :20:17. | :20:25. | |
play sport. If you know someone who fits the bill it's time to let us | :20:25. | :20:34. | |
know. Shaun Peel is the organiser in the East region. What kind of people | :20:34. | :20:35. | |
are we looking for? The centre forward in football scores a | :20:35. | :20:36. | |
hat—trick he gets the credit. Nobody thinks of the groundsman. The | :20:36. | :20:44. | |
swimmers get the medals and a credit, nobody thinks about the | :20:44. | :20:45. | |
coach, the people working behind the scenes. People who enable others to | :20:45. | :20:55. | |
play sport. They wash the kit, they do the runs in the minibuses and the | :20:55. | :20:55. | |
cars, they go to the meetings, the unsung sporting heroes and it is | :20:56. | :21:07. | |
time to sing up for them. And we've had a good record in the East, | :21:07. | :21:08. | |
haven't we? We have had a couple of people in recent years who have gone | :21:08. | :21:09. | |
on to win the national title. Lance Haggis from Bedford, the basketball | :21:09. | :21:17. | |
coach, went to the NEC in 2010 and one a national title. Doreen Adcock | :21:17. | :21:18. | |
from Milton Keynes, the swimming coach, also won the national title. | :21:18. | :21:24. | |
We are looking for your nominations. Give us the details of how to apply. | :21:24. | :21:25. | |
Go to the website, bbc.co.uk/unsunghero. Nominate your | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
Sporting Unsung Hero today! Thank you very much. Don't you wish | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
you could be more enthusiastic! On Tuesday we showed an interview | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
with the Cambridge scientist, Professor Stephen Hawking, because | :21:38. | :21:44. | |
this week a new film about him is released. The film is simply called | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
Hawking. The subtitle: A Remarkable Man, A Remarkable Story. The | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
premiere is tonight in Cambridge. Mike Cartwright is there. | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
Yes, we are at the pre—drinks do for the premiere. These are family | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
friends, colleagues of Professor Stephen Hawking. He is over there in | :22:00. | :22:06. | |
that corner. Take a look at these pictures, this was his arrival a | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
short time ago. A lot of media interest into night's events. But | :22:11. | :22:17. | |
what is truly extraordinary about a night is that age 21, Stephen | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
Hawking was given just three years to live. Nearly 50 years on, this | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
special premiere is celebrating his remarkable life. | :22:26. | :22:32. | |
I have lived over two thirds of my life with the threat of death | :22:32. | :22:40. | |
hanging over me. His story. A film about the life of the most famous | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
scientist on the planet. Because every new day could mean my last. | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
How he defied a disease, Cambridge and a glittering career. His | :22:49. | :22:57. | |
friends, his family. Mary, his sister, appears in the film. She | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
told us about a Big Brother who always loved the limelight. Apart | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
from the motor neurone, he has written had everything that a man | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
could want. Family life, children, professional career. Fame. Stephen | :23:12. | :23:19. | |
Moyes wanted to be a celebrity. I am glad he achieved that —— Stephen | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
always wanted to be. His life changing moment in his words, his | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
diagnosis of motor neurone disease, his book, a brief history of Time, | :23:29. | :23:35. | |
and the everyday and the people who look after him. When I went to my | :23:35. | :23:42. | |
job interview, I thought he was going to ask me about my past | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
medical history and what I have done in care but he didn't, he asked if I | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
could cook poached eggs. I was 19 at the time and I lied because I didn't | :23:51. | :23:59. | |
know how to cook poached eggs. But I got the job straightaway. At | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
Cambridge I met a new generation of cosmologists. Part documentary, part | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
dramatisation so why did Professor Hawking make this film now? He had | :24:08. | :24:14. | |
just turned 70 and that is probably nearly 50 years longer than he was | :24:14. | :24:22. | |
given to live. I think perhaps he felt now was the time to make a film | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
that did show more about his life and who he was. He is notoriously | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
guarded about his past, his life and his family. He is very protective of | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
his family. He is described as having one of the greatest minds of | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
a generation. Tonight he will be watching his own life story. | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
Very soon they will leave here, they had across the road to a cinema for | :24:46. | :24:52. | |
the premiere. It will be broadcast to numerous and is across the | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
country and there will be a special Q and a session after that. We | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
understand there will be special interviews from Buzz Aldrin and also | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
Richard Branson. It is fitting that Stephen Hawking came to this | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
premiere in the city where he lives and works. | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
Thank you very much, from both of us! . | :25:13. | :25:14. | |
The weather is improving and over the next few days it will stay dry | :25:14. | :25:24. | |
and gradually warmer. By the weekend the temperature is could be up to 22 | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
degrees. Today we have had some rain, a slow—moving weather front. | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
For many it has stayed very cloudy right into the afternoon with | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
continued spots of light rain or drizzle. It has started to clear | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
away and the satellite image shows how significant that clearance is. | :25:43. | :25:50. | |
In the last few hours clear skies across much of the region, some of | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
you may have seen sunshine and blue sky. Overnight we will have clear | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
skies for some of the time. It is possible in those spots that tend to | :26:01. | :26:07. | |
get cold, it could get down to eight or nine Celsius. For many of us, it | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
will stay at ten or 11 degrees. The winds are largely light westerly. We | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
start tomorrow with quite a lot of clout, it will be a bit of a mixed | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
bag —— quite a lot of cloud. Temperatures are still expected to | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
climb to 17 degrees. Perhaps up to 18 Celsius. With a light west to | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
north—westerly wind it should feel quite comfortable for tomorrow. It | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
will stay dry for the next few days, our pressure pattern is | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
bringing high pressure in from the south—west. It means dry weather but | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
it is going to bring quite a lot of moisture. Some warmer weather. It | :26:43. | :26:50. | |
may well stay quite cloudy at times and it will be difficult to forecast | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
where the cloud will thin and break. All these weather fronts being | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
pushed to the North. The next few days will get gradually warmer. For | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
Saturday it could end up staying cloudy, that will be hit and miss. | :27:03. | :27:08. | |
Some places may see something brighter, perhaps something sunny. | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
It looks better by Sunday for all of us, sunny spells developing. We | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
continue that theme into the start of next week with that high—pressure | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
staying firmly in place. With the light winds it should be pleasant. | :27:21. | :27:27. | |
Overnight lows staying just about in double figures. If you have a | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
barometer and you need a reading, give it a tap and you will get a | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
reading of 1005 millibars. Every time I see the forecast that | :27:34. | :27:42. | |
the budget gets higher for Monday. We're complaining! —— that | :27:42. | :27:44. | |
temperature gets higher. We | :27:44. | :27:46. |
