:03:28. > :03:34.in this, what have they had to say? A number of point of being brought

:04:00. > :04:07.her death. There are also issues especially about the parents. The

:04:07. > :04:10.police said they have introduced a 12 month training programme so that

:04:10. > :04:17.officers and staff are more equipped to deal which art protection. Where

:06:05. > :06:07.however, as I said earlier on, murder is the most he needs of

:06:18. > :06:28.patrols, but six months on officers believe gun crime is falling. We

:06:28. > :06:32.have arrested over 72 people today in relation to gun crime incidents

:06:32. > :06:45.in Luton. We have recovered 14 illegally held firearms and executed

:06:45. > :06:48.64 search warrants. We are trying to divert young people away from crime.

:06:48. > :06:50.But despite these measures to build trust within communitues, potential

:08:01. > :08:04.2010 by the parents of David Gray, who died because of this man's

:08:13. > :08:15.to work for the out of our service first shift he visited David Gray in

:08:15. > :08:20.his home and accidentally injected him with ten times the recommended

:08:20. > :08:27.dose of morphine. He later admitted confusing it with another drug.

:08:27. > :08:30.dose of morphine. He later admitted unlawful killing. He was given a

:09:02. > :09:12.what difference the new law would General medical Council can actually

:09:12. > :09:19.test the language skills of EU doctors before the register them. In

:09:19. > :09:25.my father 's case, the doctor who came over on his first shift from

:09:25. > :09:30.actually failed an English—language test through one PCT, and just

:09:31. > :09:36.applied for another one which did not test and so vigorously. The

:09:36. > :09:39.applied for another one which did that has been passed today seems to

:09:39. > :09:44.stop short of making sure that if a doctor is struck off in the UK they

:09:44. > :09:49.are also struck off in their home European country. How do you feel

:09:49. > :09:57.about that? I think it is important that information is disseminated

:09:57. > :10:00.practice. But I still feel it should be up to the individual country

:10:00. > :10:01.practice. But I still feel it should decide whether that doctors should

:10:01. > :10:05.be struck off or not. There was decide whether that doctors should

:10:05. > :10:10.doctor in one country that they wanted to strike off because he

:10:10. > :10:14.doctor in one country that they had relationships with the Princes

:10:14. > :10:15.daughter. That is not necessarily a reason for him to be barred from

:10:15. > :10:24.practising in this country. But reason for him to be barred from

:10:24. > :10:34.your father 's case, Doctor Ubani continued to practice in Germany. In

:10:34. > :10:38.my brother 's case, the GMC found him to be a danger to the public and

:10:38. > :10:47.the coroner found him to be grossly slightly different the way that

:10:47. > :10:49.the coroner found him to be grossly regulate doctors. In the case of

:10:49. > :10:54.Ubani, it is the council decides on their licence and not a medical

:10:54. > :11:04.regulator. You have been fighting for this for 5.5 years. Has it gone

:11:04. > :11:09.it would be in the best interest patient safety of this had been

:11:09. > :11:12.it would be in the best interest a lot sooner. It is a major step

:11:12. > :11:17.forward to have the language skills now tested but I would like to see

:11:17. > :11:21.all EU doctors have to go through the same vetting procedures as other

:11:21. > :11:24.overseas doctors regarding their clinical competence. From what I

:11:24. > :11:29.understand that is not the case clinical competence. From what I

:11:29. > :11:31.People who fly into Luton airport on private jets are sometimes left

:11:31. > :11:36.completely unchecked by border control. The admission came today

:11:36. > :11:37.from the head of the UK's Border Force. Luton is Britain's busiest

:11:37. > :11:43.airport for private planes. But Force. Luton is Britain's busiest

:11:43. > :11:50.have been told that staff at the UK Border Force don't always have time

:11:51. > :11:56.to meet the passengers. It is a requirement that Luton airport will

:11:56. > :12:03.let border force on the ground now that an aircraft is arriving. I

:12:03. > :12:06.would be confident in saying that we go not to meet the aircraft on the

:12:06. > :12:11.ground that we meet the passengers disembarking from that aircraft

:12:11. > :12:15.ground that we meet the passengers very significant number of instances

:12:15. > :12:18.at Luton airport. If we had taken a look at the report of us and is

:12:18. > :12:20.at Luton airport. If we had taken a that airport and its port of origin

:12:20. > :12:24.it is possible that that aircraft would not be met. The family of

:12:24. > :12:26.it is possible that that aircraft undergoing intensive rehabilitation

:12:26. > :12:31.for a brain injury say proposed changes to his care will set back

:12:31. > :12:34.his recovery. The clinical group in charge of Adam Spence's care wants

:12:34. > :12:47.to move him to a cheaper facility in 21—year—old Adam Spence took his

:12:47. > :12:51.first steps. Just a few months on and the change is remarkable. His

:12:51. > :13:04.aim is to walk down the aisle with his fiance, Miya. I feel I get

:13:04. > :13:09.better walking. Why is that so important to you, you have a big

:13:09. > :13:15.year next year? Waiting. What you hope to do? Walk out of here. Adam

:13:15. > :13:19.was left brain damaged after a car accident two years ago. He was in a

:13:19. > :13:23.coma for weeks. He had to learn everything from scratch. He's being

:13:23. > :13:27.cared for at Eagle Wood Neurological Centre in Peterborough. Every day

:13:27. > :13:37.But it comes at a cost — around £2,000s a week. Now the clinical

:13:37. > :13:41.commissioning group that funds his care want to save money and send

:13:41. > :13:49.Adam to a centre in Lincolnshire for half the price. I have a letter

:13:49. > :13:51.Adam to a centre in Lincolnshire for to the group making the decision

:13:51. > :13:55.about their care, and the directors say they will make Adam the victim

:13:55. > :13:58.of this condition for the rest of his life and they say that moving

:13:58. > :14:04.him from here will have a massive impact on his emotional and physical

:14:04. > :14:07.rehabilitation. All the carers know him, they know how he works, what is

:14:07. > :14:12.routine is in the morning. With him, they know how he works, what is

:14:12. > :14:18.move, it will be a whole different scenario. Anxiety levels will be sky

:14:18. > :14:22.high, because he'll be worried about everything. It'll be a retrospective

:14:22. > :14:30.move because I think he's going everything. It'll be a retrospective

:14:30. > :14:36.say what was the point in all that. Now I'm here, I will get speech

:14:36. > :14:41.therapy he or physical therapy once a week whereas here he has been

:14:41. > :14:43.having it every day. The NHS South Lincolnshire Clinical Commissioning

:14:44. > :14:46.Group declined to comment on Adam's case, but says it works closely

:14:52. > :14:56.Adam's family say they will appeal the decision to move him at every

:14:56. > :15:02.step. He has come this far, turning Detectives investigating the murder

:15:02. > :15:07.of a Northampton man say he was captured on cctv in the town on

:15:07. > :15:18.Jamie McMahon's body was found in St Giles churchyard last week. The

:15:18. > :15:22.26—year—old had suffered head and facial injuries and his wallet was

:15:22. > :15:25.missing. Last night, a week on from his murder, police visited pubs

:15:25. > :15:27.missing. Last night, a week on from clubs where the 26—year—old spent

:15:27. > :15:30.the evening. They also went to a kebab house which was where Jamie

:15:30. > :15:33.was last seen, at 2am. Detectives have stepped up patrols in the area.

:15:33. > :15:50.Still to come, the weatherman says it is going to be getting colder.

:15:50. > :15:55.And it is a shocking lesson for the students who get a crash course in

:15:55. > :15:59.driving. You may have heard that the leader

:15:59. > :16:02.of the right—wing English Defence League is standing down. Tommy

:16:02. > :16:07.Robinson, who comes from Luton, says the party has become too extreme in

:16:07. > :16:10.its views about immigration. Mr Robinson told Look East today that

:16:10. > :16:15.he will now establish a new group to defend English culture against high

:16:15. > :16:19.levels of immigration. But Muslim figures in Luton said they distrust

:16:19. > :16:29.his motives. Tonight's special report is from our home affairs

:16:29. > :16:35.correspondent, Sally Chidzoy. I don't care what you say to me! The

:16:35. > :16:40.face of the English Defence League, Tommy Robinson. A man whose rhetoric

:16:40. > :16:43.attacking Muslim extremism attracted thousands of followers, first in

:16:43. > :16:46.Luton and then across the country. The movement began in Luton four

:16:47. > :16:51.years ago in response to Muslim protesters who shouted slogans as

:16:51. > :16:57.the Royal Anglian Regiment much do the time. After dramatically

:16:57. > :17:02.quitting as the leader, Tommy Robinson said he was sick of the far

:17:02. > :17:05.right extremism within its ranks. When I am saying something, it is

:17:05. > :17:14.me. It is not someone with the three letters of my organisation doing

:17:14. > :17:18.something. Toby Robinson's defection has raised eyebrows. The group

:17:18. > :17:24.focuses on counter extremism and argues that Islamist causes Muslim

:17:24. > :17:29.terrorism. There is something fishy about the whole thing. He still has

:17:30. > :17:32.extremist, intolerant views. I was listening this morning on the radio

:17:32. > :17:40.and he said he still wants the burger van. He still does not want

:17:40. > :17:42.mosques. —— veil ban. He still has a scaremongering attitude to sharia

:17:42. > :17:48.law. He has not changed in the slightest. For years, Tommy Robinson

:17:48. > :17:54.has hit back at critics who accuse him of being a racist. For many, his

:17:54. > :17:57.departure has been welcomed. If he has seen the light and walked away

:17:57. > :18:02.from it, it is a good example to others. He was having problems

:18:02. > :18:09.before with a lot of people but now, people might find him not resist any

:18:09. > :18:14.more. I don't really support him. I think we should all live together

:18:14. > :18:19.and be happy together. Are you anything without the EGL? I think

:18:19. > :18:25.people are supporting what I'm saying and doing. Do you plan to set

:18:25. > :18:30.up another group? Not a street protest group. A group that focuses

:18:30. > :18:34.its frustrations and brings about dialogue through the political

:18:35. > :18:38.process. Tommy Robinson believes that without his support the English

:18:38. > :18:42.Defence League will die out by Christmas. Local Muslim leaders fear

:18:42. > :18:49.what has happened could spawn extremists when two groups. ——

:18:49. > :18:53.splinter groups. Air crews from the United States Air

:18:53. > :18:56.Force have been spending the week in Norfolk learning how to survive in

:18:56. > :19:00.the wild in the event they are ever shot down over enemy territory. They

:19:00. > :19:03.have been training at the Stanford Battle Zone, which is usually used

:19:03. > :19:06.by UK soldiers and airmen. The Americans are based at the nearby US

:19:06. > :19:18.headquarters at RAF Mildenhall. Simon Newton went with them.

:19:37. > :19:42.closest to you... These are men flight refuelling characters from

:19:42. > :19:51.Mildenhall. Today, they have been shot down in hostile territory. The

:19:51. > :19:58.soldier from California has been an air force pilot for six years. I

:19:58. > :20:02.have had the opportunity to speak to pilots who faced being shot down and

:20:02. > :20:08.captured by enemy forces. The lessons they learned really help

:20:08. > :20:17.build courses like this. As well as evading capture, pilots learn how to

:20:17. > :20:22.hunt, height, and call for help. How many in your party? What is their

:20:22. > :20:31.condition? On the edge of the forest, another soldier plays

:20:31. > :20:34.friendly forces. Before you get into a survival situation, you want to

:20:34. > :20:41.make sure that you have your ducks in a row, pretty much. We really

:20:41. > :20:46.remind guys to understand that. We do not rise to the occasion, we fall

:20:46. > :20:52.to the level of training. That way, they take this as seriously as

:20:52. > :20:55.possible. This soldier from the Brascan has served for 12 years,

:20:55. > :21:01.including in Iraq and Afghanistan. His job is operating a refuelling

:21:01. > :21:07.craft. He says his family know the dangers he faces. I ask them that,

:21:07. > :21:15.but they don't like to talk about it. I know it plays on my mind. They

:21:15. > :21:21.usually have faith that I'm coming home. The resistance element

:21:21. > :21:29.involves coping with interrogation, but they will not discuss that. It

:21:29. > :21:33.is strictly classified. For these aircrews, these exercises are fun

:21:33. > :21:45.but also very serious. The lessons learned here could one day be the

:21:45. > :21:48.key to making it out alive. Suzie has just been telling me how to

:21:48. > :21:51.survive in these situations. I have just said I would not survive very

:21:51. > :21:54.long on my own. Students from Peterborough were

:21:54. > :21:57.given a crash course today in driving. And that's exactly what

:21:57. > :22:01.they got — a driving course with a crash ending. The idea is to cut the

:22:01. > :22:05.number of injuries to young drivers and their passengers. Last year,

:22:05. > :22:08.almost a quarter of people injured on the city's roads were aged

:22:08. > :22:11.between 17 and 25. Please be aware that this report from Mike Liggins

:22:11. > :22:20.involves simulated pictures of a serious car crash.

:22:20. > :22:24.This is the car crash simulator at Peterborough regional College, a

:22:24. > :22:30.specially adapted Ford focus was blacked out windows and video

:22:30. > :22:36.screens. Great fun, but the students are about to get nastier shock. The

:22:36. > :22:46.video playing is a reconstruction in which a 17—year—old girl is taxing

:22:46. > :22:49.while at the wheel. Hydraulics make the car moved to help recreate the

:22:49. > :22:53.atmosphere of a crash will stop now watch the moment of impact again,

:22:53. > :23:05.but this time see how the students react. The video goes on to show the

:23:05. > :23:10.aftermath of the crash. The simulator has flashing lights and

:23:10. > :23:15.smoke. Then, the consequences. The relatives of the dead are told, and

:23:15. > :23:22.the funerals. The simulator is supposed to provoke a reaction, and

:23:22. > :23:27.it does. It was really good. It was proper scary. I thought it was

:23:27. > :23:32.really emotional and really upsetting, because you realise, you

:23:37. > :23:45.that could happen. Has it made you think twice? Yes, definitely. It has

:23:45. > :23:48.been created by the Seaford Peterborough Partnership, which

:23:48. > :23:54.involves a wide of local authorities. Often with young

:23:54. > :23:59.drivers with cars full of 17 or 25—year—old, they are taxing, not

:23:59. > :24:04.wearing seat belts, driving too fast. So when we do go to traffic

:24:04. > :24:10.collisions involving young people, it is quite disturbing for us. This

:24:10. > :24:13.age group is really, really hard to engage with. We run programmes

:24:13. > :24:20.throughout the schools, but to have this today and have people come and

:24:20. > :24:22.talk to us, it is a first. The car crash simulator will note

:24:22. > :24:29.Cambridgeshire and other counties in the region. Entered a's world of

:24:29. > :24:36.graphic video games, it is hard to shock teenagers. But the simulator

:24:36. > :24:41.does shock. What a good idea! It is, and the

:24:41. > :24:45.looks on their faces, to be enjoying the ride in the car and then

:24:45. > :24:51.suddenly, totally shocked. Let's get the weather.

:24:51. > :24:56.It is turning much colder and when they the next few days. Keeping a

:24:56. > :25:01.close eye on some cold front coming in. The blue indicates that here.

:25:01. > :25:05.These two cold fronts have a few showers with them as well. Across

:25:05. > :25:09.the country through the day, we have had a little bit of rain in places.

:25:10. > :25:12.They are continuing to exit down towards the south. They will

:25:12. > :25:15.continue to do that in the next couple of hours and in most places

:25:15. > :25:20.will become dry with clear skies tonight. Towards midnight and do

:25:20. > :25:24.tomorrow morning, there will be heavy showers in Norfolk, especially

:25:24. > :25:27.near the coast. They could even be the odd rumble of thunder as well.

:25:27. > :25:29.But further west, it will be heavy showers in Norfolk, especially near

:25:29. > :25:35.the coast. They could even be the odd rumble of thunder as well. But

:25:35. > :25:42.further west, it'll stay mainly dry the wind will keep most areas frost

:25:42. > :25:49.free. The winds, by the end of the neck, costing close to 50 miles an

:25:49. > :25:52.hour. We have got high—pressure anchored to the West of Scotland and

:25:53. > :26:01.these tightly packed I suppose indicate a very strong northerly

:26:01. > :26:06.wind coming down. We could see just inland of 35 or 40 mph, and along

:26:06. > :26:12.the northern coast, 16 mph possible. Couple that with high tide and large

:26:12. > :26:15.waves, and could be some flooding. Tomorrow is all about showers.

:26:16. > :26:20.Again, some of these are heavy with some field. Further west, a bright

:26:20. > :26:24.start. But even here, there will be a few showers developing into the

:26:24. > :26:28.afternoon. The general rule is that the further west you go, the lighter

:26:28. > :26:34.the showers will be and the few and far between it will be as well.

:26:34. > :26:37.Temperatures could make it up to 12 degrees, several degrees lower than

:26:37. > :26:40.it has been in recent days. It will feel even colder than that thanks to

:26:40. > :26:44.that very strong wind, making it feel more like six or seven degrees

:26:44. > :26:47.if you are exposed to the wind. The showers continue through the

:26:47. > :26:51.afternoon and into the evening. They could be a long spell of rain across

:26:51. > :26:54.eastern areas and we had to the second—half of the evening. That

:26:54. > :26:58.rain will gradually expand further westwards as we go through Thursday

:26:58. > :27:02.night, so potentially quick bit of rain in some places. It is all

:27:02. > :27:06.courtesy of this weather front that actually will not move very far over

:27:06. > :27:11.the next few days. Expect further outbreaks of rain across parts of

:27:11. > :27:14.the region, even into the weekend. Some uncertainty about exactly how

:27:14. > :27:18.much rain there is, but I would not be surprised if some places did not

:27:18. > :27:23.get 25 millimetres or more by Sunday. But indicators are it will

:27:24. > :27:27.clear away by the weekend. Your outlook is some heavy showers to the

:27:27. > :27:33.course of tomorrow, more green into the weekend, dry by Sunday. Notice

:27:33. > :27:34.the winds easing down? Chilly night continuing into the weekend. There

:27:34. > :27:40.is a weather. is a

:27:40. > :27:42.Thank you very much. What a cheery little forecast. See you tomorrow

:27:42. > :27:46.night. Have a peaceful evening.
