:00:39. > :00:44.back from a trip to the Philippines. I'm at the port of Shanghai, the
:00:45. > :00:48.busiest container port in the world. It is the biggest container port in
:00:49. > :00:52.the UK at Felixstowe but they move ten times as many containers here
:00:53. > :00:54.every year as they do at Felixstowe. We will have the details
:00:55. > :01:07.later in the programme. Good evening. First tonight, it was
:01:08. > :01:12.cold`blooded murder and revenge for a business deal gone bad. This is
:01:13. > :01:16.what a jury was told today about the death of a family from Northampton.
:01:17. > :01:20.Anxiang Du is accused of stabbing a couple and their children to death
:01:21. > :01:25.almost three years ago. Today his trial began and Neil Bradford was in
:01:26. > :01:32.court. The prosecution says Anxiang Du was
:01:33. > :01:37.a man on a mission. A man seeking revenge. His victims, the big`name
:01:38. > :01:44.family, described in court today as hard`working, decent people. They
:01:45. > :01:49.were stabbed to death in their own home as the nation celebrated the
:01:50. > :01:52.marriage of William and Kate. The husband and his wife Helen were
:01:53. > :01:59.found in the kitchen. Their daughters were found in a bedroom.
:02:00. > :02:04.For more than a decade, the family were involved in a bitter financial
:02:05. > :02:08.dispute with Anxiang Du, a former business partner. The jury heard
:02:09. > :02:14.that less than 24 hours before the murders, Anxiang Du had learned that
:02:15. > :02:18.the court had ruled against him By now, he had exhausted all legal
:02:19. > :02:23.options and was facing financial ruin. It is the prosecution's case
:02:24. > :02:27.that he travelled from his home in Coventry to the Ding family home
:02:28. > :02:31.here in Northampton to exact revenge. The Crown Court heard there
:02:32. > :02:34.was no doubt from Ernests was the man responsible for the prosecution
:02:35. > :02:42.do not accept this was anything less than murder. `` no doubt that
:02:43. > :02:46.Anxiang Du was the man responsible. They say the killing was carried out
:02:47. > :02:52.with ruthless efficiency. He planned to kill, he intended to kill, he did
:02:53. > :02:56.kill, four times. This is murder, nothing less. The jury also heard
:02:57. > :02:59.how he had travelled with his passport and fled to Morocco
:03:00. > :03:04.directly after the killings, where he remained for more than a year.
:03:05. > :03:08.The 54`year`old is this man from Coventry denies four counts of
:03:09. > :03:11.murder. The trial has begun of two men
:03:12. > :03:15.accused of endangering the safety of an aircraft which had to be diverted
:03:16. > :03:18.to Stansted Airport. The plane was on its way from Pakistan to
:03:19. > :03:22.Manchester when RAF Typhoon jets were scrambled to escort it. The
:03:23. > :03:25.court's been told Tayyab Subbhani and Mohammed Safdar, who are both
:03:26. > :03:30.from Lancashire, threatened to blow up the plane. They deny the charges.
:03:31. > :03:34."If there was any wrongdoing, I d make sure I'd deal with it". The
:03:35. > :03:38.words of the Bedfordshire Chief Constable following the death of a
:03:39. > :03:41.man in custody. Last night in Luton, she was heckled at a community
:03:42. > :03:44.meeting after the death of Leon Briggs, who had been detained under
:03:45. > :03:49.the Mental Health Act, as Louise Hubball reports.
:03:50. > :03:58.I'd do not know why he died! We do not know anything! I need to know!
:03:59. > :04:01.This was the moment Leon Briggs s partner confronted the Chief
:04:02. > :04:06.Constable over his death in custody. Chief Constable Colette Paul was
:04:07. > :04:11.wooed last night as she appeared at a heated community meeting. ``
:04:12. > :04:20.booed. This was her response today. We know it would be hostile but I'm
:04:21. > :04:25.not judging any outcome of this investigation. We have suspended the
:04:26. > :04:28.officers and staff involved. If there was any wrongdoing done, I
:04:29. > :04:34.would make sure I've dealt with it and that is my standards. Today
:04:35. > :04:37.there were concerns in Luton that tensions over the death may
:04:38. > :04:42.escalate. We don't want any more trouble. There has been enough. I
:04:43. > :04:47.would be very concerned because my son has a mental health illness so I
:04:48. > :04:54.would worry if he were taken into custody. If we don't get answers, if
:04:55. > :05:02.the family doesn't get answers fast, it will get worse, really. The death
:05:03. > :05:04.is being investigated by the Independent Police Complaints
:05:05. > :05:12.Commission. But a campaign group is questioning how effective that will
:05:13. > :05:15.be. The IPCC has been described as wholly inadequately resourced, so
:05:16. > :05:20.people don't have any confidence or faith that it will do a proper
:05:21. > :05:26.investigation. Also at the meeting was a pastor who is now appealing
:05:27. > :05:31.for calm. People are really in shock about what happened and some people
:05:32. > :05:37.are apprehensive about it, but it has happened already and so we just
:05:38. > :05:43.need to come together and console the people who have lost their loved
:05:44. > :05:46.one. People are worried violence could escalate. Sticky yellow I
:05:47. > :05:50.don't think it is the way forward but there is or was that fear that
:05:51. > :05:55.it can happen and I think there s a probability it happen if answers are
:05:56. > :06:00.not brought forward. Tonight, Leon Briggs's family field he has been
:06:01. > :06:05.let down by the authorities at a time when he should have been
:06:06. > :06:15.provided with specialist care. `` family feel.
:06:16. > :06:20.The Wellingborough MP Peter bone has hit out at the decision by the
:06:21. > :06:24.Ministry of Justice to sell the town's former prison. The Government
:06:25. > :06:30.says it does not form part of a long`term plan for prison capacity
:06:31. > :06:35.but the MP disagreed. He is completely and utterly wrong and
:06:36. > :06:40.Wellingborough prison is on a brown field site and has massive room for
:06:41. > :06:43.expansion. People want to expand the prison there. Millions of pounds
:06:44. > :06:48.have been invested in the prison. Would the Minister meet with me to
:06:49. > :06:51.look at this again before finally making a disastrous mistake?
:06:52. > :06:55.Meanwhile, Bedfordshire Police today launched a new campaign to recruit
:06:56. > :06:58.80 new full`time officers. The force says that although budgets are
:06:59. > :07:08.tight, the front line is spread too thinly, as Mike Cartwright reports.
:07:09. > :07:17.Responding to a call for back`up. This PC searching for a man who fled
:07:18. > :07:21.on foot from officers. Moments later, he is found and arrested
:07:22. > :07:26.suspected of supplying drugs. Several officers are here but there
:07:27. > :07:30.are not enough on the force, says this PC. I've been in the police for
:07:31. > :07:35.five years and eye think, especially this year, because of numbers, I do
:07:36. > :07:42.feel vulnerable at times. Because of the numbers. At the University of
:07:43. > :07:47.Bedford today, a police recruitment drive. For a force that will have
:07:48. > :07:52.had to share more than 24 million `` shed more than ?24 million from its
:07:53. > :07:58.budget and lose hundreds of officers. In recent years, Bedford
:07:59. > :08:03.police had more than 1200 lease officers but now they number just
:08:04. > :08:10.over 1000. Those in charge say it is a big shortfall. We have been
:08:11. > :08:14.seriously overstretched at the front line. The officers going out was
:08:15. > :08:18.funding to calls and so on have been run ragged and so this is about
:08:19. > :08:27.Ulster in that part of the organisation. `` this is about
:08:28. > :08:35.Ulster ring. My dad was on the force and hear a lot of stories. It sounds
:08:36. > :08:39.like he really got a lot of it. I am 36 so I feel I'm in that age group
:08:40. > :08:46.where I can bring something to the force. Too dangerous. It is the
:08:47. > :08:52.first recruitment drive for three years. Those in charge say the
:08:53. > :08:59.public have no idea how thin the front. Are asked a lady how many
:09:00. > :09:03.officers she thought were covering Bedford and she said, 100. I said,
:09:04. > :09:10.you would be surprised if there were ten of us covering this area. Many
:09:11. > :09:17.say recruits are long overdue. Bedfordshire police is now hoping
:09:18. > :09:21.for hundreds of applicants. Plans to sell off centre used by
:09:22. > :09:26.young people in Corby have been approved today by the council. The
:09:27. > :09:31.council says repairing the centre would cost up to ?700,000. It is
:09:32. > :09:34.promising the proceeds of the sale will be used to provide new services
:09:35. > :09:37.in the town. He illustrated classics such as A
:09:38. > :09:42.Christmas Carol, Wind In The Willows and Gulliver's Travels. Today the
:09:43. > :09:44.work of 20th`century artist Arthur Rackham has been auctioned in
:09:45. > :09:47.Stansted Mountfichet. The collection of first`edition books are all
:09:48. > :09:52.signed and inscribed with drawings by the artist. He was widely
:09:53. > :09:56.considered as one of the leading illustrators of the early 1900s The
:09:57. > :09:59.books were given as presents to his wife's sister and her husband, who
:10:00. > :10:01.lived on the Essex`Hertfordshire border.

:10:27. > :10:32.wrapped up warm and wrap up your plants, because there is a risk of

:10:36. > :10:39.end of the programme for all the details.
:10:40. > :10:44.This week, Stewart is in Shanghai, reporting on the growing trade links
:10:45. > :10:48.between our region and China. Last night, we saw how Chinese tourists
:10:49. > :10:52.were boosting trade in Cambridge. For tonight's report, Stewart has
:10:53. > :10:56.been to the dockside area of Shanghai which has become the
:10:57. > :11:01.busiest container port in the world. We are on the East China Sea, just a
:11:02. > :11:05.part of the Port of Shanghai, and it is massive. At the 2 million
:11:06. > :11:13.containers coming through here every year, making it the busiest
:11:14. > :11:18.container port. Seven of the top ten container port southern China,
:11:19. > :11:23.Felixstowe is number 36. But there are strong links with Felixstowe.
:11:24. > :11:35.Richard Daniel has been to see a brand`new container ship about to
:11:36. > :11:42.leave Suffolk on its maiden voyage. China's largest container ship. A
:11:43. > :11:49.statement of intent by china's largest shipping line. This ship is
:11:50. > :11:54.3.5 football pitches in length, it can carry 13,000 containers, but the
:11:55. > :11:58.astonishing thing is the company have built three vessels like this
:11:59. > :12:04.and plan five more and those will be in service by the end of next year.
:12:05. > :12:11.We need to keep the fleet to be one of the best choice for customers
:12:12. > :12:17.between the UK and China and we do have so many customers, not only in
:12:18. > :12:24.China but the UK, to require weekly services. This is home for months on
:12:25. > :12:29.end for the 26th globe trotting crew. Down below, a huge galley for
:12:30. > :12:35.the ship's chef and accrue recreation room. Near the stem, the
:12:36. > :12:41.cavernous engine room, the ship running up to 160 tonnes of you will
:12:42. > :12:48.every day. It can cover nearly 20,000 nautical miles before
:12:49. > :12:55.refuelling. `` 160 tonnes of fuel. It gives me leisure for myself, my
:12:56. > :13:00.wife, embassy staff, to attend this celebration. The Chinese ambassador
:13:01. > :13:04.was guest of honour for the maiden voyage from Felixstowe. The UK has a
:13:05. > :13:12.huge trade imbalance with China, but little by little, that is changing.
:13:13. > :13:18.What is significant is increasing UK exports to China, increased by 15%,
:13:19. > :13:24.so a large increase, so China now becomes the fastest growing export
:13:25. > :13:30.market for the UK. The UK exports more products like aviation
:13:31. > :13:38.equipment, medical equipment, cars, China now is their number one
:13:39. > :13:45.importer of cards. The trend for larger and larger ships continues.
:13:46. > :13:51.`` of cars. In Felixstowe, that will mean more and more investment to
:13:52. > :13:55.accommodate them. We continue investment in Felixstowe, East
:13:56. > :13:59.Anglia, and trade between the UK and China has grown, probably about 50%
:14:00. > :14:07.of all containers nowadays relating to Chinese and UK trade. Early
:14:08. > :14:11.evening and it slips out of Felixstowe. It will take three weeks
:14:12. > :14:17.for the ship to arrive in the Far East.
:14:18. > :14:27.Just before it left Suffolk, we put a tiny time`lapse camera on board.
:14:28. > :14:37.Since then, it has called at Hamburg, and work, and Suez, docking
:14:38. > :14:44.at Hong Kong just over a week ago. `` Antwerp. It is due to .co after
:14:45. > :14:51.many Chinese ports on Sunday. It will head back to Britain back with

:15:07. > :15:17.Tonight, young man from Norwich who come to Shanghai to carve out a new
:15:18. > :15:25.life. `` coming to study in the East from China.
:15:26. > :15:30.When he was 11, this man came to Shanghai with his family and stayed
:15:31. > :15:35.for two years. Last year, he moved back to Shanghai after finishing a
:15:36. > :15:38.make up art course in Britain. His parents now work in Beijing and
:15:39. > :15:45.Shanghai and he says this time one of his mage is `` major tasks is to
:15:46. > :15:54.learn the language and adapt better to local life. When I last lived
:15:55. > :15:58.here, and was at school here, we would learn how to save hen, ruler,
:15:59. > :16:04.what was in your pencil case, pointless things. Things she would
:16:05. > :16:08.never need to stay in the future, but now learning things about how to
:16:09. > :16:15.get around the Metro, speak to taxi drivers, going shopping, important
:16:16. > :16:19.things. As a make up artist, it is not easy to start a career in the
:16:20. > :16:23.city, one thing finding potential clients. He said one Chinese
:16:24. > :16:30.customer asked him to make her look more like a foreigner. It is kind of
:16:31. > :16:36.a mixture between the two, you want to tell them that you do not have to
:16:37. > :16:42.look, you know, foreign, Western, to be beautiful. But what I can do is
:16:43. > :16:48.make their eyes look slightly bigger. Even though he has only had
:16:49. > :16:53.two clients per week so far, he is still looking forward to his job
:16:54. > :16:58.development. He says Shanghai is a large modern city with more
:16:59. > :17:03.opportunities. I like that people are not afraid to be themselves, I
:17:04. > :17:07.think it is, when you walk down the street, you see the older
:17:08. > :17:13.generation, they just sing or randomly start to dans, or
:17:14. > :17:17.something. He says he plans to stay in Shanghai for at least four years
:17:18. > :17:25.and will try to develop his career as a professional make`up artist
:17:26. > :17:30.working for shows in China. Tomorrow night, Look East is live
:17:31. > :17:36.from the studios of international channel Shanghai, we will hear from
:17:37. > :17:40.Weetabix, a company based in Northamptonshire, but recently taken
:17:41. > :17:44.over by a company in China. And from three British companies doing very
:17:45. > :17:52.well over here. That is Look East tomorrow night at fixed 30p.m.,

:18:04. > :18:07.Now, it's Children in Need this Friday. Last year, the Look East
:18:08. > :18:10.region raised ?2 million. Some of the money went to a charity called
:18:11. > :18:13.Leeway, which helps children affected by domestic violence. I've
:18:14. > :18:16.been to meet one them, Ellie. To hear her story. We have disguised
:18:17. > :18:19.the identities of those involved. She saw her father abuse her mother
:18:20. > :18:23.since she was very small and, since her mother died, she has lived with
:18:24. > :18:29.another family member, but struggled emotionally. My dad would beat her
:18:30. > :18:34.up, and I would be in the other room, but I would hear her crying
:18:35. > :18:40.and he would call her names. Because of his anger, I would start to
:18:41. > :18:51.become angry. Choose a feeling and tell me when you felt that way.
:18:52. > :18:55.Through the charity Leeway, she has dealt with a care worker and been
:18:56. > :19:00.able to talk about her feelings, making a huge difference. We had
:19:01. > :19:09.huge difficulties, my family at breaking point many times, and I was
:19:10. > :19:12.at a loss how to help Ellie. It was beyond my experience how to deal
:19:13. > :19:20.with it, so I am grateful. I would urge anyone to deal with that help,
:19:21. > :19:24.if they can, it has done wonders for our family. Leeway supports nearly
:19:25. > :19:35.10,000 adults and children every year across Norfolk and Suffolk,
:19:36. > :19:44.with three refugees and `` refuges. Children in need support their
:19:45. > :19:49.outreach programme. It can take several times before someone seeks
:19:50. > :19:51.advice. We need to get it right and have trained professionals within
:19:52. > :19:57.the community who can help these people. And actually seek the right
:19:58. > :20:04.path for them to help them out of that abusive the duration. What
:20:05. > :20:11.would you say to someone else who may be suffering this kind of thing,
:20:12. > :20:14.as a child? I would say, always try to find someone nearby that you
:20:15. > :20:23.can't opt to and you are comfortable with, `` you can talk to. That can
:20:24. > :20:26.help a lot. It can help you understand how you are feeling and
:20:27. > :20:31.get through your life when you get older.
:20:32. > :20:35.Ellie. Just one of the many children who've been helped by Children in
:20:36. > :20:38.Need. This year's appeal is on Friday. And on Look East, our live
:20:39. > :20:42.broadcast event is coming from Wicksteed Park in Kettering. Do join
:20:43. > :20:52.us there if you can. The details are on our Facebook page.
:20:53. > :20:55.As we've seen, the national news continues to be dominated with the
:20:56. > :20:58.impact of typhoon in the Phillipines. Earlier today, two
:20:59. > :21:01.friends from Norfolk returned from a diving holiday in the Philippines.
:21:02. > :21:05.Nigel Walters is from Garvestone. Mark Evans is from Horsford. Welcome
:21:06. > :21:10.to you both. Let us look at the map and explain where you were. You were
:21:11. > :21:18.staying on the small island of Malapascua at a diving resort. This
:21:19. > :21:24.is west of the island which bore the brunt of the devastation. But you
:21:25. > :21:29.are in the eye of the storm? We were near Malapascua, but took a direct
:21:30. > :21:35.hit. Let us look at some of your pictures, how it looked when you
:21:36. > :21:40.arrived, which looks beautiful. Talk us through the kind of place you
:21:41. > :21:48.were staying? It was the perfect, the delegation. Trees and palm
:21:49. > :21:52.trees. `` it was a perfect location. A tropical place, and you
:21:53. > :21:57.can see in the photographs, is somewhere outstanding for a holiday.
:21:58. > :22:04.Mark, were you aware the storm was coming? We were told earlier that
:22:05. > :22:08.there was some typhoon coming in, but the locals get hit by these
:22:09. > :22:14.about five times per year, and no one knew what was coming until later
:22:15. > :22:19.in the week. We can see you filming during the storm, so Nigel, you are
:22:20. > :22:26.at the resort just filming from your balcony? Yeah, the storm was
:22:27. > :22:31.staged, really, in terms of how it came, slowly kicking in bit by bit,
:22:32. > :22:37.starting to eat away at the trees, smaller ones asked, bigger ones
:22:38. > :22:44.next, and I was able to stay on the balcony for some time, filming some
:22:45. > :22:50.of this. That was the dining room? Yeah. Obviously devastating to see
:22:51. > :22:59.this happening, the before and after? Totally, as Nigel said, it
:23:00. > :23:07.was paradise before. Crazy what weather can do. And this footage is
:23:08. > :23:13.driving to the airport? This was one of the areas most badly hit, no aid
:23:14. > :23:17.getting up there yet. Everyone is hungry. Small children with signs
:23:18. > :23:25.looking for food and water. We did not see any aid getting to them. We
:23:26. > :23:29.were isolated for a couple of days, no information coming through. It
:23:30. > :23:36.was a total shock when we were on the way there, which is when the
:23:37. > :23:43.news came about the amount of death going on. What about the local
:23:44. > :23:47.people, what was their reaction? On the island itself, they were very
:23:48. > :23:53.upbeat, a lot of teamwork and morale boosting, dragging boats ashore,
:23:54. > :23:58.creating pathways. The general belief they could get back to normal
:23:59. > :24:04.quickly. The holiday`makers were getting stuck in as well, helping
:24:05. > :24:10.out wherever possible. Mark, you only arrived back this morning, as
:24:11. > :24:16.it sunk in? Not really, straight off the plane, just seeing the news what
:24:17. > :24:24.has happened in other places such as Leyte. Lovely people, and a
:24:25. > :24:29.beautiful place, just really devastated? Absolutely. It is not
:24:30. > :24:38.just the islands, it is going straight up the airport, and spread
:24:39. > :24:43.across that part of the island. Thank you very much for coming in,
:24:44. > :24:46.we are grateful. The Disasters Emergency Committee
:24:47. > :24:55.launches its appeal campaign this evening. You can ring them on 0370

:25:05. > :25:10.High pressure is our friend during the day, but becomes our enemy
:25:11. > :25:17.overnight, which is what will happen tonight. High pressure has been
:25:18. > :25:21.building, introducing light wind and clear skies, sunshine this
:25:22. > :25:26.afternoon, but overnight, any heat being lost, meaning a cold night
:25:27. > :25:33.with the risk of frost. Temperatures just three Celsius in the last hour
:25:34. > :25:36.near Thetford, and many places, particularly in the countryside,
:25:37. > :25:49.expected to drop below freezing, so expect some ground frost. We start
:25:50. > :25:53.tomorrow really quite chilly, but it will be a fine day, and the next
:25:54. > :25:59.weather system approaching from the north`west, not spoiling things in
:26:00. > :26:03.the East, but will mean a strengthening wind overnight and the
:26:04. > :26:07.introduction of cloud and rain, Andrew tomorrow, despite a chilly
:26:08. > :26:14.start, it will be glorious. `` through tomorrow. Good spells of
:26:15. > :26:18.sunshine through the morning. Temperatures not high, but the
:26:19. > :26:23.sunshine making the difference, and a light south`westerly wind, so not
:26:24. > :26:27.a bad autumn day. The western half of the region developing more cloud
:26:28. > :26:31.in the afternoon, but staying dry, and cloud developing across the
:26:32. > :26:37.region overnight which could bring outbreaks of rain. This rain looks
:26:38. > :26:40.mainly light and patchy, but gradually tracking eastwards
:26:41. > :26:44.overnight. We should be done with most of it by Thursday morning, but
:26:45. > :26:49.quite different conditions or Thursday morning and Friday, so you
:26:50. > :26:53.might look at those days being similar, but factor in the strength
:26:54. > :26:58.of the wind, particularly on Thursday, feeling quite cold with
:26:59. > :27:03.temperatures at nine Celsius. Largely dry, sunny spells, but the
:27:04. > :27:09.chance of blustery showers. Most places dry on Thursday. As well as
:27:10. > :27:14.Friday, with decent spells of sunshine, but the wind still
:27:15. > :27:18.north`westerly, so quite cold. By the weekend, some drier weather
:27:19. > :27:24.around, but overnight, more chilly nights, temperatures lower than
:27:25. > :27:31.this. Clear skies, light wind, meaning the introduction of mist and
:27:32. > :27:39.fog. That could linger through the day on Saturday. Back to you.
:27:40. > :27:42.That is all from us this evening, thank you very much for your
:27:43. > :27:47.company. Have a good evening, goodbye.
