:01:07. > :01:10.less than half an hour today to convict two parents of causing their
:01:11. > :01:13.baby boy's death. Jamie Kightley was just under eight weeks old when he
:01:14. > :01:18.died at his parents' Northampton flat in March 2012. He had suffered
:01:19. > :01:21.severe brain injuries and dozens of fractures. Today at Nottingham Crown
:01:22. > :01:26.Court, Jacqueline Parker and Adam Kightley were found guilty of
:01:27. > :01:29.causing or allowing his death. Our reporter Mike Cartwright was in
:01:30. > :01:37.court to hear the verdict and joins us now live. After sitting through
:01:38. > :01:44.all in three weeks of evidence: The jury took just 25 minutes to deliver
:01:45. > :01:54.their verdict. The mother and father Reverend guilty of causing the death
:01:55. > :02:01.of the child. Jamie Kightley Was shaken to death at just eight weeks
:02:02. > :02:08.old. His body was found with 40 fractures and covered in bruises.
:02:09. > :02:16.Today, the jury found his parents, Jacqueline Parker and Adam Kightley
:02:17. > :02:25.guilty of the death or allowing it to happen. The judge said the child
:02:26. > :02:33.was always entitled to the protection of the parents. This is
:02:34. > :02:42.the family flat in Northampton. This is where the baby was violently
:02:43. > :03:12.assaulted. This was the nine`day name call.
:03:13. > :03:25.A baby son spoken so badly he suffered brain injuries. He is here

:03:34. > :03:42.They agreed that only previously, he was put to bed at six o'clock at
:03:43. > :03:52.night. The defence was that the other must have assaulted Genie at
:03:53. > :03:57.some point. The parents are responsible for making sure the
:03:58. > :04:01.child is free from harm and not to people who should have protected him
:04:02. > :04:12.were ultimately responsible for the loss of his life. ", they said they
:04:13. > :04:17.were loving, caring parents. But today, the jury decided the did
:04:18. > :04:27.nothing to stop the death of their child. The jury had to listen to
:04:28. > :04:32.some very harrowing evidence. The maximum sentence they could get his
:04:33. > :04:36.14 years. Tomorrow, the parents will find out how long it will be
:04:37. > :04:39.sentenced for. A man has appeared in court in Luton
:04:40. > :04:42.charged with murdering his sister`in`law. 70`year`old
:04:43. > :04:46.grandmother Mary Evans, of Liddle Close in Luton, was stabbed in her
:04:47. > :04:50.car as she drove along Trent Road on Monday. John Evans, who is 56 and
:04:51. > :04:53.lives in Trent Road, was remanded in custody. Mrs Evans married his
:04:54. > :04:57.brother just six weeks ago. Police still want to speak to anyone who
:04:58. > :05:00.may have witnessed what happened. A 16`year`old has been charged with
:05:01. > :05:04.trying to kill a man during a break`in at a house in Luton at the
:05:05. > :05:07.weekend. The victim, 47`year`old Tony Abrahams, was stabbed at his
:05:08. > :05:11.home in well field Avenue on Saturday morning. The teenager, who
:05:12. > :05:18.cannot be named because of his age, has been charged with attempted
:05:19. > :05:20.murder and aggravated burglary. Campaigners are celebrating tonight
:05:21. > :05:26.after a controversial housing scheme on the Cambridgeshire`Essex border
:05:27. > :05:29.was turned down by planners. Today's vote was in the fast`growing
:05:30. > :05:33.district of Uttlesford, covering Saffron Walden and Stansted. Over
:05:34. > :05:36.the next 20 years, The Office for National Statistics expects its
:05:37. > :05:40.population to rise by 27%, to around 100,000. If Uttlesford Council
:05:41. > :05:47.currently has more than 1,600 households on its waiting list. Its
:05:48. > :05:52.long`term plan is to build more than 2,000 homes between the villages of
:05:53. > :05:55.Elsenham and Henham. In a moment, we will hear from Richard Daniel with
:05:56. > :06:09.the campaigners, but first, Alex Dunlop on the case for many more new
:06:10. > :06:21.homes. They have got the room upstairs fear? She shows me the
:06:22. > :06:26.husband they have the flat at she and her husband have. They cannot
:06:27. > :06:32.afford to buy, so the rent the accommodation. If there are new
:06:33. > :06:38.homes in the area, would you be in favour? Yes, absolutely. Lettuces
:06:39. > :06:49.same story for James, who has to live with his parents still. Yes, I
:06:50. > :07:02.would definitely look into it. This gives you an idea of the problem. If
:07:03. > :07:10.you want to buy, the houses are so expensive and even their rent value
:07:11. > :07:22.is very high. We have to do it in a way which does not make the whole
:07:23. > :07:27.area. That is the $64,000 question. That was in favour of the
:07:28. > :07:34.development say it is much needed. It has got new facilities for the
:07:35. > :07:43.residents, new facilities and the likes of schools. We do have a
:07:44. > :07:49.housing problem in the district We have 1,600 households currently
:07:50. > :07:56.waiting for accommodation. They are either living with parents, as they
:07:57. > :07:58.are young people and they are ensuring overcrowding situations.
:07:59. > :08:04.There is a desperate need for new housing. The developers are likely
:08:05. > :08:08.to appeal against the decision. So what do the campaigners think of
:08:09. > :08:16.that? Richard Daniel has been to meet the villagers celebrating
:08:17. > :08:22.victory. It is not hard to see why people live in the two 30 villages.
:08:23. > :08:29.They are also close to the MA eleven on hand to Stansted Airport. For
:08:30. > :08:34.years, the community has fought to prevent houses being built in the
:08:35. > :08:39.area. This is the latest stage in a long`running and expensive fight.
:08:40. > :08:46.The community has been magnificent. We have done all sorts of
:08:47. > :08:49.fundraising activities. These are villages that people choose to live
:08:50. > :09:03.in and villages that people choose to live
:09:04. > :09:11.objecting to. 800 houses starting here. The village 's argument is
:09:12. > :09:27.simple: Everyone should take their fair share of new housing across the
:09:28. > :09:32.country. Lunchtime and protesters arrived that the Council for the
:09:33. > :09:39.planning meeting. The rear defiant. They are using land that we should
:09:40. > :09:50.be using to produce food to feed ourselves in the future. Ever
:09:51. > :09:54.improve roads, does address issues. Inside the meeting, tempers flared
:09:55. > :09:59.and just one hour later, the decision that the campaigners wanted
:10:00. > :10:09.was reached. The plans were rejected for a second time. We are very
:10:10. > :10:15.pleased. We are over the moon. But I fear they will come back, because
:10:16. > :10:20.they are like a dog after a woman. The fate for free at the new homes
:10:21. > :10:23.should go is far from over. Companies and research bodies in the
:10:24. > :10:32.region are to benefit from major funding. Approved by the European
:10:33. > :10:35.Parliament. Today, MEP's agreed ?60 billion of cash over the next seven
:10:36. > :10:38.years for research and development projects across Europe. The region
:10:39. > :10:46.received more than ?500m last time round and local MEPs say it should
:10:47. > :10:54.do even better this time. This is a very significant amount of funding.
:10:55. > :11:00.Cambridge University say 20% of the research they are doing is being
:11:01. > :11:04.funded by this. We are making sure that more of this budget goes to
:11:05. > :11:07.science and research. The workforce at the former Railcare
:11:08. > :11:10.factory in Wolverton is set to double within five years, according
:11:11. > :11:13.to Knorr Brems, the company which bought the factory three months ago.
:11:14. > :11:17.Back in August, Railcare went into administration and 100 workers were
:11:18. > :11:20.made redundant. But now its new owners say they are confident they
:11:21. > :11:34.can take the factory from bust to boom. This year, it celebrated its
:11:35. > :11:41.175th birthday, making it the oldest factory of its kind in the world. In
:11:42. > :11:49.July, the celebrations turned sour. After weeks of uncertainty, it was
:11:50. > :11:59.agreed that the historic factory would be brought. One idea ever
:12:00. > :12:06.investing money and the site is that we grow this business substantially.
:12:07. > :12:14.The prospect of the good times returning is good news for the
:12:15. > :12:21.workers. Currently, the workforce is concentrating on repair work. We are
:12:22. > :12:30.taking out the windows and the window frames, and removing only
:12:31. > :12:39.fixings. We taking them out for an overhaul. The work being carried out
:12:40. > :12:43.will directly benefit passengers in the region because the main customer
:12:44. > :12:51.at the moment is greater Anglia trains. They have for Jane sheds
:12:52. > :13:03.like this and they say they are confident the will be able

:13:09. > :13:13.to London, which is a real centre of real operations in the country and
:13:14. > :13:20.also, we have the a lot of skilled people ready to do this work. So,
:13:21. > :13:25.from bust to boom, a team that in July seemed possible, but now there
:13:26. > :13:28.is a growing possibility that it could continue to fly the flag for
:13:29. > :13:31.real engineering. Peterborough city Hospital says it

:14:07. > :14:14.transformed our understanding of how genes work.
:14:15. > :14:21.MPs have been voting this evening on controversial changes to our armed
:14:22. > :14:24.forces. Under the plans, there will be a big reduction in the number of
:14:25. > :14:28.regular soldiers. And a big increase in the number of reservists. The
:14:29. > :14:31.Government was facing a possible defeat over the issue following a
:14:32. > :14:35.campaign by the Essex MP John Baron. Andrew Sinclair is at Westminster.
:14:36. > :14:39.Everyone thought this would be close, but in the last few minutes,
:14:40. > :14:44.John Baron lost his vote by 54 votes, rebels seemingly bought off
:14:45. > :14:49.by last`minute government concessions or feeling that now was
:14:50. > :14:53.not the time to flex their muscles. But this is a big issue in our
:14:54. > :14:57.region with lots of military personnel and there will be other
:14:58. > :15:04.votes on this issue. John Baron says this is not the end of the matter.
:15:05. > :15:08.A few months ago, Look East filmed with reservists with the Royal
:15:09. > :15:14.Anglian Regiment training in Croatia. The government wants to
:15:15. > :15:17.rely far more on these experienced but part`time soldiers. But among
:15:18. > :15:24.MPs, there is concern whether they are up to the job and if there are
:15:25. > :15:28.enough people who want to volunteer. We risk heading towards false
:15:29. > :15:34.economies and unacceptable capability gaps which people will
:15:35. > :15:37.not thank us for. The MP for Basildon and Billericay is one,
:15:38. > :15:42.worrying it is being rushed through without proper scrutiny and debate,
:15:43. > :15:46.and others supporting, much to the annoyance of ministers. Some people
:15:47. > :15:52.in the government say you are being disloyal? As an MP, it is incumbent
:15:53. > :15:58.to speak out on matters you think are important and certain matters
:15:59. > :16:01.rise above party politics. The government says the way we fight
:16:02. > :16:06.wars is changing and we do not need as many full`time soldiers, but
:16:07. > :16:11.some, like Bob Russell, feel it is dangerous, while others feel relying
:16:12. > :16:18.on reserve this will put a big strain on small businesses. I know
:16:19. > :16:26.the damage when you take one man out of five men team in an SME and I do
:16:27. > :16:31.not think you have thought about this impact enough. But many
:16:32. > :16:35.supported the government, including one who is a reserve list. Soldiers
:16:36. > :16:40.cannot tell the difference when on the front line. We support the
:16:41. > :16:44.regular army, we know we are up to the job and now the government is
:16:45. > :16:49.committing ?1.2 billion over the next ten years to make sure we have
:16:50. > :16:55.enough and training, I know this is a great deal. This is not the end of
:16:56. > :16:59.the matter, there will be more votes on defence reforms and more
:17:00. > :17:05.opposition. Do we know how all our MPs voted?
:17:06. > :17:11.Not yet, but I expect Brian Binley on the list of Tory rebels. Others
:17:12. > :17:20.who expressed concern, and find reasons, such us may have found
:17:21. > :17:24.reasons, such as Bob Russell. But John Baron has made a name for
:17:25. > :17:28.himself and will keep up the fight. `` others who expressed concern, may
:17:29. > :17:32.have found reasons to go with the government. The Prime Minister was
:17:33. > :17:36.asked about other issues in Cambridge and he said he is
:17:37. > :17:41.listening to people's concerns, exactly what the Chancellor said to
:17:42. > :17:46.us, Ariel Fino and `` a real feeling we shall he some movement on the
:17:47. > :17:50.Cambridgeshire story very soon. Thank you very much.
:17:51. > :17:53.The Church of England could approve women bishops as early as next year
:17:54. > :17:57.after its governing body backed new proposals. Members of the General
:17:58. > :18:00.Synod voted, with 378 in favour and eight against. The Church has agreed
:18:01. > :18:05.to offer guidance to those parishes which reject female ministry.
:18:06. > :18:09.The Reverend Canon Heather Butcher is an Advisor on Women's Ministry to
:18:10. > :18:18.the Bishop of Norwich. How close are we now? We could be one year away
:18:19. > :18:23.from the final decision being made, but we have made tentative progress,
:18:24. > :18:29.this is the first hurdle, and we will have to see how it goes. It has
:18:30. > :18:36.been described as fragile, if you are betting women, which I sure
:18:37. > :18:39.you're not how fragile? I hope it will go through, but the Bishop of
:18:40. > :18:45.Rochester, who chaired the steering group, spoke on Monday and he said
:18:46. > :18:50.that there is no plan B and we are not offering a fitter, play, but we
:18:51. > :18:57.cannot afford to have this changed very much. `` they are not offering
:18:58. > :19:02.as this is accomplished. We hope it will be excepted without changing
:19:03. > :19:07.it. Some people says it could be a concession, but it looks to me like
:19:08. > :19:11.a fudge. We are trying to hold together a variety of people with
:19:12. > :19:16.different views. That is one of the great strengths and joys of the
:19:17. > :19:21.Church of England, that we are a broad church. But if you have people
:19:22. > :19:24.that think differently and have different theological understanding
:19:25. > :19:34.is, it is quite a task to hold them together, so I I suppose a bit of
:19:35. > :19:42.fudging could go on. What will happen before voting? I will meet
:19:43. > :19:45.people who are against the consecration of women bishops, to
:19:46. > :19:49.try to build bridges. I have met several people in the diocese and
:19:50. > :19:55.will continue to try to create good relationships. More broadly, the
:19:56. > :20:00.bishops are going to go away to think about how it would be rolled
:20:01. > :20:03.out across the whole church, so there is some kind of continuity
:20:04. > :20:09.across the whole of the Church of England. They will come back in
:20:10. > :20:13.February with their guidelines. And if those are proved, it then goes to
:20:14. > :20:19.the dioceses that we all have to have a say and talk about it. So
:20:20. > :20:25.long way to go? Yes, if that happens, we come back in July or
:20:26. > :20:31.November, and it may go them. And by the beginning of the year after, we
:20:32. > :20:39.might have a woman bishop? Fwe may have by 2015. Thank you very much
:20:40. > :20:42.for coming in. `` we may have won by 2015.
:20:43. > :20:45.Professor Fred Sanger, the Cambridge scientist who pioneered research
:20:46. > :20:49.into the human genome, has died at the age of 95. Uniquely, he won two
:20:50. > :20:53.Nobel Prizes for chemistry. The first was in 1958 for his work on
:20:54. > :20:56.the structure of insulin. The second for his breakthrough research on DNA
:20:57. > :21:01.which laid the foundation for the de`coding of the human genome.
:21:02. > :21:06.As a young scholar. Fred Sanger described himself as above average.
:21:07. > :21:09.But nothing special. He went on to become a giant of science. His work
:21:10. > :21:11.laid the foundations for understanding and reading the
:21:12. > :21:16.structure of DNA. The building blocks of all life. I think it is
:21:17. > :21:22.difficult to compare these things, really, and to me it is very
:21:23. > :21:26.gratifying and it will be useful. Such modesty was typical of the man,
:21:27. > :21:32.whose work went on to win him two Nobel Prizes for chemistry. He was
:21:33. > :21:40.the only person in history, and still is, to have one two Nobel
:21:41. > :21:42.Prize is in chemistry, which are awarded for outstanding merit its
:21:43. > :21:49.contributions to science and to win it twice my many years apart as well
:21:50. > :21:52.is quite outstanding. Professor Sanger spent his whole scientific
:21:53. > :21:55.career in Cambridge. His name was adopted by Cambridge's Sanger
:21:56. > :21:58.Institute which first mapped the human genome. And it has helped
:21:59. > :22:01.apply its findings to the development of medicine. Fred
:22:02. > :22:05.Sanger's achievements, his legacy, will resonate in the world of
:22:06. > :22:08.science for years to come. As one fellow professor said, the impact of
:22:09. > :22:17.his work is impossible to exaggerate.
:22:18. > :22:20.Well, one man who know Fred Sanger better than most was his fellow
:22:21. > :22:25.Nobel Laureate Professor Sir John Walker. The pair worked together at
:22:26. > :22:30.the Medical Research Council's laboratory of molecular biology in
:22:31. > :22:37.Cambridge. He joins us now. Can you tell us more about Fred Sanger the
:22:38. > :22:40.man? He was wonderful man to be around, a great inspiration a
:22:41. > :22:45.fantastic experimentalists, who did very complicated experiments with
:22:46. > :22:50.complicated `` with simple equipment, and he did not like
:22:51. > :22:57.complex equipment. He preferred to invent his own ways of doing things.
:22:58. > :23:01.He had enormous persistence, he could not have solved the problems
:23:02. > :23:06.he did without that persistence and stamina. He was full of insight. He
:23:07. > :23:15.was an inspiration to everybody around him. He set a standard for
:23:16. > :23:23.other people to follow. It is hard to over emphasise how important his
:23:24. > :23:27.work was to all of us. Yes, I am so glad he was able to see the fruits
:23:28. > :23:36.of his own accomplishments in the form of the human gene on `` genome
:23:37. > :23:40.and he saw the impact it was having on biosciences, medicine, and
:23:41. > :23:49.society in general. His name will not just live for a few years to
:23:50. > :23:57.come, but whatever. And he `` you work for him, and he got you to work
:23:58. > :24:00.there, and he? Yes, we met in Paris and he asked if I thought about
:24:01. > :24:07.coming back to England and I thought I would, and so, I rang him up a few
:24:08. > :24:10.days later and as the fit would be possible to work with him in
:24:11. > :24:18.Cambridge and he agreed that I could come for three months, and that was
:24:19. > :24:22.in 1974 and I am still here. Such a modest man, but described today as
:24:23. > :24:30.one of the greatest scientists in any generation, would you agree?
:24:31. > :24:36.Absolutely, very few scientists with equivalent accomplishments, possibly
:24:37. > :24:43.Marie Curie, he could be compared with her, but otherwise unique. We
:24:44. > :24:50.will not meet another person in our lifetime again. When I met him, he
:24:51. > :24:56.was very proud to have the Sanger Institute named after him. He was,
:24:57. > :25:00.he was a modest person, wearing his fame lightly, he was famous,
:25:01. > :25:06.becoming an icon amongst students, who loved him, flocking to hear him
:25:07. > :25:09.talk, but I remember when he agreed his name could be associated with
:25:10. > :25:14.the Sanger Institute, he said something along the lines, I have
:25:15. > :25:19.allowed you to use my name, make sure this place is a success.
:25:20. > :25:23.Professor Sir John Walker, thank you very much. You are welcome. Now for
:25:24. > :25:33.the weather. The wind hazard is with us. We had a
:25:34. > :25:38.weather front through this morning bringing some and pleasant
:25:39. > :25:41.conditions. Then brighter skies, but bands of showers forming behind,
:25:42. > :25:49.affecting many areas through this evening. This poses a problem, like
:25:50. > :25:52.wind at the moment, and any gap in the showers, clear spells, means
:25:53. > :25:58.temperatures getting below freezing, was in some problems with Frost and
:25:59. > :26:04.ice, but not necessarily widespread or for the whole of the night,
:26:05. > :26:12.mainly between now and midnight. The showers falling as sleet, with a
:26:13. > :26:17.wintry flavour. After midnight, more cloud, the showers keeping going,
:26:18. > :26:23.and some wind preventing frost later. We end the night with
:26:24. > :26:29.temperatures above freezing. A cloudy start with showers around
:26:30. > :26:33.first thing, the feature will be the north`easterly wind, making it feel
:26:34. > :26:36.very cold tomorrow, but in proving through the day, starting with
:26:37. > :26:41.showers which gradually become lighter and fewer. But still some of
:26:42. > :26:46.them across the eastern half, parts of Norfolk and Suffolk
:26:47. > :26:50.particularly. Temperature is not high, seven or eight degrees. And
:26:51. > :26:55.the wind speed will make it feel very cold. By the end of the day,
:26:56. > :27:03.less showers, but still the chance of some, and falling as sleet and
:27:04. > :27:08.snow. Beyond that, high`pressure building, meaning much lighter wind,
:27:09. > :27:12.and clearer skies, so that throws up the hazard of much colder nights.
:27:13. > :27:17.Although for the next couple of nights, it is quite windy, so just
:27:18. > :27:21.about free of cost, by the weekend, we start to bring those numbers
:27:22. > :27:27.down. `` free of frost. Bringing those numbers down means some frost,
:27:28. > :27:34.possibly some freezing fog. This showers by the weekend, sunny
:27:35. > :27:40.spells, but feeling quite cold. Thank you very much, I think.
:27:41. > :28:07.That is all from us, good night. Goodbye.
:28:08. > :28:11.I'm Nigel Slater, a cook. And I'm Adam Henson, a farmer.
:28:12. > :28:15.all back in touch with where our food really comes from.
:28:16. > :28:18.You asked me to grow some durum wheat to produce your pasta.
:28:19. > :28:24.Our own eggs, our own flour - couldn't ask for more, really.
