22/11/2013 Look East - West

Thank you, Tomasz. That is all from the News

Hello, welcome to Friday pos`macro looked east. Tonight, a 19`year`old

has been arrested on suspicion of murder following the death of a

two`year`old girl. That and the rest of the day 's news now. A ?30

million boost for science students at Cambridge. Celebrations as

children from across the region Mark Benjamin Britten pos`macro 100th

birthday. At Doctor Who reaches 50, we look at

the role this region has played in the making of this British classic.

A 19`year`old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder following the

death of a toddler in Peterborough. The two`year`old girl was taken to

hospital with severe injuries and died. Yes, the hospital have

confirmed the little girl was brought here at 11 o'clock yesterday

morning with serious injuries. They says was pronounced dead two hours

later. The postmortem took place this afternoon and we are waiting

for the results but outside the home today, neighbours were leading

tributes, toys, teddies and flowers. Neighbours say the girl and the

mother moved the house three months ago, a new estate on the edge of

Yaxley. Lots of young families and children. The girl lives opposite a

children's play area. The community has been shaken badly. Absolutely

devastating, we are all in shock. We have kids are self. Very surprising.

You don't expect it on your own street. The first I heard about it

was last night. Friends across as have spent the day searching the

house and also the neighbours house will stop night, a 19`year`old man

remains in custody on suspicion of murder added 28`year`old woman, the

mother, arrested on suspicion of causing or allowing the death of a

child. Campaigners opposed to the growth of stance at Port taken their

fight to the High Court. They want to stop a report on airport

expansion. They claim it may have been influenced by a former

commission member used to run the parent company. The commission

insists he did not act improperly. Cambridge University will get a

share of investment into Ph.D. Training schemes. The government has

announced ?30 million of a ?350 million pot will here to boost

engineering and physical sciences in Britain. This fabric changes colour

when stretched to prevent fraud in banknotes and has hit the catwalk.

It is part of nano science, the science of the small also used in

smartphones. Today, it was announced it will receive more government

money as part of science and engineering at Cambridge University.

This new funding will impact on research into the tiny, right

through to the big like this gas turbine. This is excellent news

because would`be setting up half a dozen new centres which will bring

in 300 new students who wanted a Ph.D. S in fundamental science with

strong links to British injury. A new generation of technologists will

stop ?30 million of government cash may sound a lot but this electron

microscope cost half ?1 million To train this student costs at least

100,000. He is what some `` here is what some make of it. I am excited

about the funding because it is great for students like me. It is so

important we have been further funded to keep our competitive

edge. The extra funding is fantastic. It allows more people to

do science and technology which are vitally important to the UK academia

and industry. At university, they work with big names like Nokia and

Dyson. They say more money means big results. We will export the Norwich

from the University into industry to fuel more collaborations and working

together. The funding is crucial for people in research and to

everybody. They are focused at keeping at the forefront of the

global science race. New figures show a dramatic increase in the

number of people diagnosed with HIV. Across the region, it is up 30% in

the last year, across the Thames Valley it rose 17% and in

Northamptonshire or it fell by 5%. I went for a routine checkup, four

days later my blood result came back as positive.

Given the crushing news, this fitness instructor believes she

contracted HIV from a past relationship.

The first thing I felt was what will my life be like? Will I die soon? It

was terrifying. Her former partner was unknowingly

carrying the virus. We had the talk about being checked,

yes, I was clear, so was I. So we stopped using protection. He had not

been checked, his ex`girlfriend was checked and he assumed he was clear

because she was. You never know you are clear and less you get tested

yourself and you hear the words An estimated 2500 people are living

with HIV in the Thames Valley. One in five are undiagnosed and most at

risk of passing it on. Last year, 176 people were newly

diagnosed an increase of 17%. The HIV virus attacks your immune

system, if caught early, doctors say many can still leave a long life. A

new campaign has begun calling for people to get themselves tested

There is still ignorant and stigma around HIV. One key concern is

driving down the numbers and diagnosed HIV, getting people on to

effective treatments and that is the key to ensuring people pos`macro

long`term health and beating HIV. Since being diagnosed, Amanda is

married and has a daughter. While pregnant, she took medicine to

prevent the medicine `` virus spreading out is living a full life.

What reactions do you get from people?

Mostly good stuff, to be fair, most of them are supportive. You get some

that are so frightened they will not talk to you.

I had sex, I caught HIV, that is it. We all have sex, we can all

catch HIV. It is not a gay thing or a black thing.

Earlier, I spoke to the Terrence Higgins trust and asked why the

figures in the region were going up. We are putting the increased the

number of test available, there have been two major campaigns across the

UK encouraging people to test and access services. These have been

targeted at specific groups, gay men, the Africans who we know are at

risk. These test have encouraged people to test.

Are you saying the figure has not gone up?

Yes, the figure has increased. We have seen many people getting

diagnosed and within these diagnoses, we are recognising a

number of these may have been infected for a long period of time.

The figure is going up across the UK and Eastern region, why?

One of the reasons is people are living with HIV for long periods and

do not test, they may have decided to take the test, there is more

testing in communities so there is increased awareness. The number of

people may have been admitted to hospital unwell and may have been

diagnosed. Testing is good but 30 years on from

the scare it is, the tombstones on adverts, should we go back to that

to stamp out HIV? No, we need education and

information. It is recognising how we get public health messages using

social media, the Internet, different types of advertising and

campaigning. It is taking a different approach which may feel

softer but in many ways it is more direct and pointing to individual

groups. Can the school to do more to educate

youngsters? Yes, both schools and colleges and

making sure there is good sex and relationship education available for

young people. So they are aware of contraception, using condom is at

making informed choices about sex, relationships and then if they feel

empowered, they can make healthy choices about their lives.

Rugby at Northampton shape `` saying Chief Executive says the club will

be involved in a new European competition. It follows an

announcement that every major European rug the union apart from

the English RFU plan to play in the Heineken cup. English clubs are

behind the. global science briefs. `` they are

focused. But still to come: How good is your

football team at bringing on young talent? And we will have a look at

the weekend weather. Some showers around but mostly dry, cloudy and

chilli into the weekend. Ed Miliband is a little tonight

preparing for a weekend regional conference. In a moment we'll go

live to the venue and speak to Mr Miller band. First, our political

correspondent looks at how Labour are doing. `` speak to Ed Miliband.

This is Harlow, where the Conservatives have a majority of

just under 5000. It is one to watch for 2015, because this sort of

marginal seat has to be won by Labour that they want to form the

next government. Ed Miliband has visited Harlow three times since

becoming leader. They won control of the council last year. Activists are

pleased that the party is coming up with policies they can campaign on.

We go out and talk to people, they are struggling, and if you have

nothing to say to them it is difficult. Now that we are talking

about building homes, freezing bills, that resonates. Not everybody

here is happy with Labour. The local trade union Council passed a vote of

no`confidence in Harlow Council this week because it slows down a welfare

advice centre. It is mounting an attack on the poorest in society,

signing up to the Tory agenda, and not defending the core working`class

vote. Labour have had a small but consistent opinion poll lead for the

best part of two years, but what concerns some Labour supporters is

that leads is not appear to be growing. With the economy improving

and controversy over Labour's relations with the union and the

shame the chairman of the cooperative, some fear that it might

slip. Labour has 13 target seats in the east. I am told they will be

unhappy if they win less than eight. With important European elections

next year, this is about rallying the troops. I think we are quite

happy with Ed Miliband's leadership. What they would really like is a

greater level of involvement in things like policy process, helping

define the terms on which the election is fought, being included

in the election campaign and not just use that as part of it `` used

as part. Nobody in Labour is predicting victory yet. Good

evening, what do you think of the TUC passing a vote of no`confidence

in a Labour council? It is a reflection of the fact that there

are very difficult decisions having to be made by Labour councils

because of the fact that we have huge cuts being passed on from

central government, I am incredibly proud of the work we're doing in

Harlow, the candidate that you heard on the film, who is talking about

the cost of living crisis facing families and how a Labour government

will tackle it, not standing up for a few of the top but making the

economy work. Abolishing the Bedroom Tax, freezing energy prices, making

a difference to low wages, doing things that will speak to the

concerns of people in Harlow. You are very proud of your candidate,

fat fame TUC have to vote of no confidence in her. They said she was

silent. I certainly don't agree with that. She is one of our most dynamic

candidates in this region. She is doing a brilliant job. What you

heard from her, what Labour party members at this conference are

feeling, is Labour has been setting the agenda, talking about the fact

that we have a government that says everything is fixed on the economy

and going fine, but ordinary people are you think we are getting worse

off. The up for a fifth of the issue of energy prices, and said, if we

win the election we will freeze prices until 2017, the energy

market. That is what I call standing up for ordinary families in this

country. Were you saying the TUC got it wrong with your candidate and the

council as a holiday? They are absolutely entitled to take their

own view. Iron safe I have huge confidence of the decisions we are

making in Harlow. `` Diane saying. All councils are faced with really

difficult choices because of a fifth of a fifth of the faith if `` we

will have to make difficult decisions. I would like to ask your

question about year 14. Would you abolish plans for a toll road? We

are looking very closely at this, because there is a cost of living

crisis, and there are deep concerns about the toll road. The government

needs to come forward with the actual plans, what will the impact

be? What will the knock`on effects beyond smaller roads? You could end

up not making any difference in terms of traffic. The government has

to come forward with proposals. We are looking at what can be done, but

it is a reflection of the fact that we have a government that is not

really talking about or acting on the cost of living crisis, and you

have a Labour Party that is talking about it. Thank you for being with

us. But the lack of the four players in the endless Premier League has

been a big talking point recently. 70% of players are from abroad. For

the flop? How many players are really home`grown? Players spotted

when young, trained in the academy and eventually part of the first

team. People need success and they buy it

in. We have foreign imports coming in, and the England team are

suffering. If we're not going to start in the north`east until we

make sure that use the is covered. `` East Anglia. Perhaps locality

should be contemplated. How important is it that your local

players play for your local club? What is home`grown? According to the

two main leagues, any player who has been registered with the club in

England or Wales for a three`year is under the age of 21, regardless of

nationality. It is debatable. It is somebody that comes through the

youth team, not somebody you bought for ?4 million when he was 16 and

plays for your first team when he is 21. What about the real home`grown?

Colchester lead the way with nine in their first team.

Norwich are the FA Youth Cup champions but not one academy

product has established herself. You have players playing all through the

Leeds who came through the academy but ultimately I want people playing

for Norwich City in the Premier league. For fluff like Colchester,

developing home`grown talent is as much about financial practicality as

desirability. The financial fair play rules say clubs can only spend

60% of their turnover on player wages. We have a focus, to bring

forth along to the theft of the facilities, but we will be judged on

what we can bring through. We will stabilise and have a real 15. Is

clear the switch. At the levels of League one. If `` of League one,

they will not fit with you, if they do well they will not be there. It

is a difficult situation. At his old stomping ground they have an

ambitious target, half of the first team to have come through the

academy by 2017. Whether the management have the time to nurture

that, I don't think they can. If I give you a choice between Premier

league club or half the team from Suffolk what would you go for? That

is really mean. Premier League is the goal. The Premier league, but

how wonderful if we could have lots of the local people in. Investment

in academies like these have never been higher. One club told them it

costs about ?150,000 to take a player from the youth team into the

first team. Financially, it should make sense, but the higher the

league, the harder it gets. The 100th anniversary of Benjamin

Britten's birth is being marked this weekend with some events across the

country and world. He grew up in Suffolk, among his compositions, 12

songs written for schoolchildren. Today, hundreds of school pupils

have been performing them in his memory.

350 children, seven schools, weeks of rehearsing. At the corn exchange

in Cambridge it is no ordinary Friday afternoon. Rehearsing for a

virtual concert, bringing school choirs together for the first time.

A technical and musical challenge. The children not having worked with

me or each other before, and it is a very large group of children. The

children in the far corner cannot necessarily see me as such. It is a

logistical difficulty. Screened live for other schools to sing along, it

had to be a polished performance. The songs were dedicated to Benjamin

Britten's schoolmaster brother, sang for decades. The choir is still find

them quirky. One of the songs is about a man scratching his eyes out

and then he cannot see. It was a bit weird, but some of it is really

cool. Really exciting. 15 minutes to go after an intense morning of

rehearsals. Everybody is starting to take their seats. This will be one

of many concerts across the world to celebrate Benjamin Britten's 100th

birthday. It is part of a global performance that will take 24 hours

to complete. We are starting in Auckland, through to Santa Monica,

there will be over 100,000 children across the world singing some of

these songs. Friday afternoon was choir practice for his brother's

school. On his centenary, what better way `` better way to remember

one of England's best composers? As part of the anniversary there are

two open house events. His birthplace in Lowestoft is open, and

the red house where he lived in later life is open between 10`5.

Doctor Who will be back on our screens this weekend with a special

edition 50 years after the first episode was broadcast on November

the 23rd 1963. It is now the longest running science`fiction programme in

the world. Over the years, he has touched this region several times.

We have links to everything from the theme tune to the evil Davros.

50 years, 11th Doctors, millions of little kids hiding behind the sofa

thinking that Alex might be about to burst in and exterminate them. Terry

Milera is one of four actors to play Davros, the leaders of the Dallas.

`` Terry Molloy. `` leader of that Alex. And that the piece of work but

not when you know that he was on wobbly wheels and struggled to move

about the set. You could not judge doorways. Trying to get out of the

door, it would take 15 attempts. The sound of the TARDIS, arguably one of

the most famous sound effects in British television history. It was

created by Brian Hodgson in the famous Radiophonic Workshop. I

started with a scraping sound, which I did by scraping my mother's front

door key down the bass strings of a piano, then we took it and changed

the speed, turned it backwards. On location, Doctor Who has been filmed

in our region. The production unit for Britten's most popular

science`fiction series to cover the theatre. Today, the current Doctor

is from Northampton. We have had fun. It has been quite funny. I have

at him questions. You know when we did... What is that like? That is

quite a rear experience. `` uncommon. It has been good to

compare notes. Happy birthday, Doctor Who. The special edition is

on BBC One on Saturday. Don't you think John Hurt would have made a

great Doctor? Quite a bit of the same weather today, coming up over

the next few days. A quiet weather pattern. We have high pressure

sitting to the north and west of Britain, that will bring us

north`westerly wind. Some isolated showers. This is the radar image. It

shows there is some sunshine. The blue dots show there are some

showers. They have been fairly isolated. That is how things will go

as we go into tonight. Some isolated showers. There will be a ground

frost in the West. Some icy patches on the road not out of the question.

You can see some isolated showers around. They will be more frequent

in the north and east. It is further west where we will see the coldest

of the temperatures. With clear skies we could see temperatures

dropping to near freezing. Where those showers are, some icy patches

on the road. Less cold on the coast. Tomorrow, it is a mix of

sunshine and showers. Particularly heavy in the East. The further south

and west, it should stay dry. Temperatures around six degrees.

Around eight degrees further north and east. With the breeze it will

feel quite chilly. Those showers will become quite isolated into

Saturday night. Most of the area will dry out. There is ground frost

possible. This will stay with us for Sunday into the first part of next

week, and you can see by the Outlook that not much will change. Cloudy

skies for Sunday and Monday, high temperatures of eight Celsius. The

north`westerly wind will continue. The coldest night will be Monday

night. We will see a widespread air frost. Thank you. Have a good

weekend. Goodbye.
