:00:08. > :00:12.Hello and welcome to Friday's Look East.
:00:13. > :00:15.Coming up in the programme tonight: The biggest tidal surge since 1953,
:00:16. > :00:20.but for us the new flood defences held firm.
:00:21. > :00:22.So what's changed between then and now?
:00:23. > :00:29.Under investigation ` former teachers at this School Federation
:00:30. > :00:33.speak out over the way it was run. On the up ` the hospital claiming
:00:34. > :00:35.it's one of the most improved in the country.
:00:36. > :00:53.And as the world mourns Nelson Mandela, we look back at his links
:00:54. > :00:58.to the East. First tonight: it was the biggest
:00:59. > :01:03.tidal surge to hit the East since 1953. But in the end we escaped
:01:04. > :01:06.relatively unscathed. New multi`million pound flood defences
:01:07. > :01:12.stood firm, though in some places it was a close run thing. And tonight
:01:13. > :01:16.there's a sense of relief in towns like King's Lynn and Wisbech that
:01:17. > :01:20.things were not worse. So what prevented a repeat of the great
:01:21. > :01:31.floods of '53? Let's go live to King's Lynn and Louise Hubball.
:01:32. > :01:34.Good evening. It seems amazing, but if I had been standing here last
:01:35. > :01:39.night I would have been waist deep in water. As you can see, the water
:01:40. > :01:46.level has dropped, but last night it was much higher, and still remains
:01:47. > :01:52.very high. Today has been all about the clear up. Taking stock, and it
:01:53. > :01:58.is a very different picture here than it was last night.
:01:59. > :02:02.The water rose rapidly. People could only watch and hope the flood
:02:03. > :02:06.barriers would hold. There were fears and old wall could collapse,
:02:07. > :02:11.but that held firm. Today is all about the clear up, and
:02:12. > :02:17.it is only huge scale, involving emergency services, including
:02:18. > :02:23.pumping out the basement of this block of flats. I met another fire
:02:24. > :02:29.crew pumping out a 30 metre restaurant seller, six feet under
:02:30. > :02:32.water. With no electricity, the owner is
:02:33. > :02:37.throwing away food. Thousands of pounds worth of alcohol and
:02:38. > :02:43.electrical goods have also been lost to the flood water.
:02:44. > :02:46.By what can this morning, the Environment Agency letters in soon
:02:47. > :02:49.after ten o'clock, I looked in the cellar and so it was completely
:02:50. > :02:55.filled to the ceiling with thousands of gallons of water. It was
:02:56. > :02:58.heartbreaking. The restaurant has only been open
:02:59. > :03:03.eight months. Malcolm will now lose valuable Christmas trade. The impact
:03:04. > :03:07.of this is not lost on those salvaging the situation.
:03:08. > :03:11.You see people any state of distress, they are upset, they have
:03:12. > :03:17.possessions and in some instances their livelihoods. You try to show a
:03:18. > :03:21.little bit of compassion. As you say, we have got a job to do to get
:03:22. > :03:24.on with. Parasols I spoke to in King's Lynn
:03:25. > :03:31.had not been affected. The talk was that the flood defences had worked.
:03:32. > :03:36.We got away very likely this time. We lived here 25 years and I have
:03:37. > :03:39.never seen what are the high. It's astonishing, and thank goodness
:03:40. > :03:43.that the flood defences they have put in place have worked as well as
:03:44. > :03:49.they have. A lot of people were very worried about what would happen.
:03:50. > :03:55.Came down about six o'clock this morning, and expect it up what down
:03:56. > :03:58.here. It was up to here on the war. Back the sellers of this hotel were
:03:59. > :04:00.also breached and alcohol was lost here.
:04:01. > :04:05.Manager believes the floodgates saved them.
:04:06. > :04:11.It shows that the investment they have made over time was working. If
:04:12. > :04:17.not, this would have been completely underwater at one point.
:04:18. > :04:19.Speak to everyone at Kings Lennon and they are all grateful that
:04:20. > :04:26.whatever they might have lost, no one was seriously hurt.
:04:27. > :04:30.This is one of the floodgates mentioned in my report. They think
:04:31. > :04:43.these pretty much saved the day. That is a story repeated across the
:04:44. > :04:47.Legion... `` across the region. A flooded road cars and disruption,
:04:48. > :04:52.but not the devastation people had feared. After last night's surge,
:04:53. > :04:57.the river was high and somewhat dit see`through, but it did not go
:04:58. > :05:02.through the new flood defences in Wisbech, and homes were untouched.
:05:03. > :05:06.When he spent millions on a project like this, many people think, is it
:05:07. > :05:09.worth it? I think last night it was evident that it was worth it, and
:05:10. > :05:15.little we don't have anything like that again.
:05:16. > :05:20.The new defences are higher, but cost ?12 million. Many see as stop
:05:21. > :05:24.repeat of the floods of 1953 and 1978.
:05:25. > :05:30.I can remember near where I live frogmen having to go and get the
:05:31. > :05:32.cars under the water. One area was particularly badly affected last
:05:33. > :05:39.time. And this time?
:05:40. > :05:44.This time it's all been held back. There was a good couple of food
:05:45. > :05:50.sitting behind the floodgates. You can see where the river did,
:05:51. > :05:55.over the top cop that the self still remains. Those boats are now down at
:05:56. > :05:58.the level we should be, but last night they were up here at the level
:05:59. > :06:03.of the road. But while buildings were flooded, there were power
:06:04. > :06:08.cuts. Some businesses were left counting the cost with no
:06:09. > :06:10.electricity since 8pm last night. Without electricity, this building
:06:11. > :06:14.runs completely on electric heating, so there is no cheating at all in
:06:15. > :06:21.the building, it is quite crafty as well. The alarm was going, forums
:06:22. > :06:26.and answer phones are all based on electricity, the computers we do the
:06:27. > :06:31.bulk of the work on, and we need lights to date any photographs...
:06:32. > :06:33.By lunchtime they were back in business, but other parts of the
:06:34. > :06:38.region will take longer to recover. In great Yarmouth situation was so
:06:39. > :06:42.bad that Kimmeridge firefighters were said to help the Army could
:06:43. > :06:49.flood defences last night. Some who bore the brunt of the weather on the
:06:50. > :06:52.Norfolk coast have lost everything. I've been here throughout the day in
:06:53. > :06:55.King's Lynn and I've been impressed by how this community is pulling
:06:56. > :06:59.together. Businesses have been helping each other, and emergency
:07:00. > :07:04.services have been working incredibly hard to get this place
:07:05. > :07:07.back on its feet. Certainly the message from here is that it may
:07:08. > :07:12.still be muddy, but the water levels are going down in King's Lynn is
:07:13. > :07:15.very much open for business. Thanks Louise. Earlier I spoke to
:07:16. > :07:24.Charlie Beardall from the Environment Agency and asked him if
:07:25. > :07:27.the crisis was over now. It is certainly receding, and the
:07:28. > :07:31.time this evening, there is no search on that side, it is just a
:07:32. > :07:37.normal high springtime. The risk has moved away. There is just a couple
:07:38. > :07:44.of things we need to keep an eye on, particularly around the gym and
:07:45. > :07:48.Hunstanton, there are around 3000 properties behind a shingle ridge.
:07:49. > :07:53.That is the first line of defence and did its job very well, but it
:07:54. > :07:58.has been damaged a little, so we are monitoring that.
:07:59. > :08:04.The King's Lynn area and north of the air, Wisbech, everything is
:08:05. > :08:07.going to be OK this evening, is it? Yes, we still have flood warnings so
:08:08. > :08:14.we will watch it, but redundant dissipate any significant issues. ``
:08:15. > :08:19.we don't anticipate any significant issues.
:08:20. > :08:24.How well did the floodgates work? Very well. There was some flooding
:08:25. > :08:28.in some people moved out of their properties, but we were pleased with
:08:29. > :08:31.the way they performed, and generally around the whole of
:08:32. > :08:33.Norfolk, they did a very good job protecting thousands of properties
:08:34. > :08:39.from flooding. The cost ?12 million in four years
:08:40. > :08:42.to build. If they had not been there in time, how bad could it have been
:08:43. > :08:48.last night? I would have been very significant
:08:49. > :08:53.flooding in King's Lynn, as elsewhere are Norfolk, Suffolk and
:08:54. > :08:58.Essex. If we hadn't invested the money it would have been a very
:08:59. > :09:01.serious issue. We only have to look back to 1953 and the scale of the
:09:02. > :09:07.impact then. We have invested hugely since then, and a lot of very
:09:08. > :09:09.recently. I think last night shows just how effective our defences have
:09:10. > :09:20.been all`round East Anglia, including around King's Lynn.
:09:21. > :09:23.Other news now and former teachers at Barnfield College and Federation
:09:24. > :09:27.in Luton have told the BBC of their concerns about the way it was run.
:09:28. > :09:29.The Department for Education is currently investigating allegations
:09:30. > :09:32.of bullying and so called "grade massaging". Its report is due out
:09:33. > :09:36.next month. The Federation manages a chain of academies and colleges in
:09:37. > :09:43.Bedfordshire. It's been held up as a flagship by the government, as Paul
:09:44. > :09:46.Scoins reports. It's a set of skills that has been
:09:47. > :09:51.held up as a shining example by the education secretary. But the
:09:52. > :09:55.Barfield Federation, which comprises more than half a dozen schools and
:09:56. > :10:01.academies, is now the subject of an official enquiry. Staff are made to
:10:02. > :10:05.sign confidentiality agreements, one former teacher wanted to remain
:10:06. > :10:07.anonymous. It was demanded of staff to
:10:08. > :10:11.spoon`feed students to get the grades, they would continually
:10:12. > :10:17.rewrite pieces of coursework. The two students of timetable, and spend
:10:18. > :10:21.a week they can show they rewrote it, rewrote it, until we achieve
:10:22. > :10:26.those grades. There are five campuses already in
:10:27. > :10:30.Luton were 25 per of the town's children are taught, and the
:10:31. > :10:33.federation wants to expand even further. There are plans for free
:10:34. > :10:37.schools in Kimmeridge and Oxfordshire.
:10:38. > :10:41.Buying these days is St George's school. It is next on the list to be
:10:42. > :10:46.converted into the family of Armfield academies, but that has
:10:47. > :10:50.been put on hold. It know what happened until the results of this
:10:51. > :10:54.investigation are known. The same goes for two other schools in
:10:55. > :10:58.Bedfordshire. Another application for a school in mid`Bedfordshire
:10:59. > :11:04.which failed at the 11th hour prompted an MP to raise the issue at
:11:05. > :11:08.Prime Minister's questions. With the Prime Minister please use
:11:09. > :11:10.his offices to ensure that they failed free school application in
:11:11. > :11:19.mid`Bedfordshire is incorporated into this wiry?
:11:20. > :11:24.Concerns have been raised to the secretary of education.
:11:25. > :11:29.Many people try to raise concerns directly and were misdirected until
:11:30. > :11:34.they could not do so. That is a very serious concern.
:11:35. > :11:39.And he did in these concerns to the Department for education?
:11:40. > :11:42.I did try, but it was really difficult. The person at the end of
:11:43. > :11:45.the line at the department said, I don't know you need to speak to. I
:11:46. > :11:50.felt I was going round in circles, so I did not.
:11:51. > :11:52.On a recent visit, Ed Miliband said this highlights the lack of
:11:53. > :11:55.accountability of the academy model.
:11:56. > :11:59.It is the illustration of a wider problem, which is that Michael Gove
:12:00. > :12:04.believes you can run all of Britain's schools and free schools
:12:05. > :12:08.from central government, that is thousands of schools. Actually what
:12:09. > :12:14.you need is local accountability as well, because that Israeli important
:12:15. > :12:16.for holding skills to account. In a statement, the Department for
:12:17. > :12:33.education told us call on: Investigation is due to be published
:12:34. > :12:35.next month. I know colleagues that raise
:12:36. > :12:40.concerns are raised questions, and they would be demanded to attend a
:12:41. > :12:43.meeting and would be called off. Basically, they have no voice.
:12:44. > :12:46.Well, the Barnfield Federation gave us this statement saying it did not
:12:47. > :13:14.recognise the picture being painted and strongly refuted the claims.
:13:15. > :13:19.And the Sunday Politics show will hear from Education Secretary,
:13:20. > :13:24.Michael Gove on that story. That's on BBC One at 11am.
:13:25. > :13:28.Managers at Hinchingbrooke Hospital in Huntingdon say it's become one of
:13:29. > :13:35.the best performing hospitals in the region. Today an independent report
:13:36. > :13:39.said it had a "significantly low" mortality rate. Latest figures show
:13:40. > :13:43.the A department sees 98% of its patients within four hours. That's
:13:44. > :13:53.the best in the region, with the worst being 88% in Northampton.
:13:54. > :13:57.Hinchingbrooke Hospital begin the first NHS hospital to be run by a
:13:58. > :14:03.private company. Almost two years on, they say this exponent is one
:14:04. > :14:07.which is working. We have a real opportunity, because
:14:08. > :14:10.we are a test case of how the NHS can look in the future. Everyone
:14:11. > :14:16.here in this organisation knows they are part of something that is about
:14:17. > :14:20.redesigning NHS care in the future, and saying this is how we think care
:14:21. > :14:24.can be delivered. That led to clinicians managing
:14:25. > :14:27.their own departments. The company says that has improved care. The
:14:28. > :14:34.number of serious incidents have halved, and other services have
:14:35. > :14:38.returned to the hospital after they were suspended for safety concerns.
:14:39. > :14:41.For the second year running, Care Quality Commission has given the
:14:42. > :14:46.hospital a clean bill of health. When Circle to go over, some feared
:14:47. > :14:50.an A department could be downgraded or closed, but it is now
:14:51. > :14:58.seen as one of Circle's success stories. Is now ranked number four
:14:59. > :15:03.in terms of waiting times. We have been working extremely hard
:15:04. > :15:06.in the Department. We make sure that clinicians see our patients quickly,
:15:07. > :15:11.get them into the system quickly, order investigations so that
:15:12. > :15:16.patients can get through within our four hour window.
:15:17. > :15:20.Health care improvement aside, some are still worried about Circle's
:15:21. > :15:26.long`term financial plan. Our big concern was how much profit
:15:27. > :15:29.they would be taking out of the contract. They haven't actually got
:15:30. > :15:33.to that stage yet, and we will still keep an eye on it and look to see
:15:34. > :15:37.what they do take out. I Circle says its efficiency
:15:38. > :15:40.programme will mean the hospital will break even next year, and then
:15:41. > :15:47.it will begin paying off the hospital's ?40 million debt. An
:15:48. > :15:50.impossible task? Circle points out that is what its critics said two
:15:51. > :16:04.years ago I promised to improve ageing brick hospital's services.
:16:05. > :16:07.Tomorrow is an unusual day for politics and members of the public
:16:08. > :16:11.had the chance to decide who should replace to the region's MPs. Sir
:16:12. > :16:13.James Paice is standing down in South East Cambridgeshire, while
:16:14. > :16:16.Brian Binley, the MP for Northampton South, is also retiring at the next
:16:17. > :16:19.election. Normally Conservative members choose their next candidate.
:16:20. > :16:22.But the local parties have decided to hold a so`called open primary.
:16:23. > :16:29.Our Political Correspondent Andrew Sinclair explains.
:16:30. > :16:33.For the last 26 years, Sir James Paice has represented Cambridge.
:16:34. > :16:37.Last time round recorded a majority of nearly 6000. Normal in the
:16:38. > :16:41.Conservative party would want a lot of control room becomes the next
:16:42. > :16:44.candidate here, but this time he is leaving the final decision to the
:16:45. > :16:47.public. Open primaries have been very
:16:48. > :16:52.successful in other constituencies, and this gives us an opportunity to
:16:53. > :16:56.engage with the public and for local electors to take part in the
:16:57. > :16:59.selection process. More than 200 people, half of them
:17:00. > :17:04.not party members, have registered to come along to the hustings" . The
:17:05. > :17:08.idea of inviting members of the public to choose a candidate was
:17:09. > :17:16.first tried out in Bedford in the 2009 May oral election. More than a
:17:17. > :17:19.thousand people crowded into vote. It's a fantastic idea, and his free
:17:20. > :17:26.speech for everyone. Is democracy, isn't it?
:17:27. > :17:30.Supporters of the idea say that this is a great way to reconnect with the
:17:31. > :17:35.public, and make them feel we have a say in who represents them.
:17:36. > :17:41.Deciding who gets to be your next MP should be left to local people, not
:17:42. > :17:45.three little clique. But among the Tory leadership, there
:17:46. > :17:49.is a little bit of winning this about candidates who are chosen by
:17:50. > :17:53.the public rather than the party. Sera Wollaston, a Devon GP, beat all
:17:54. > :17:59.the favourites in a primary and became MP for Totnes. But at
:18:00. > :18:03.Westminster, she has regularly attacked the government. Boris
:18:04. > :18:08.Johnson is another uncontrollable former primary candidate.
:18:09. > :18:11.These people are a little bit outspoken and ten to be their own
:18:12. > :18:16.brand. That is what the party hierarchy does not like.
:18:17. > :18:20.Into moral's to primaries, the party has run up a short list, but that's
:18:21. > :18:25.where it includes an. It will be up to members of the public to decide
:18:26. > :18:31.who the next Conservative candidate, and quite probably the
:18:32. > :18:35.next MP, should be. Now with all the sport for the
:18:36. > :18:36.weekend, plus some news of a very special unsung hero, here's
:18:37. > :18:39.Jonathan. It's one of those magical weekends
:18:40. > :18:43.for the country's non league and lower league football teams. The FA
:18:44. > :18:46.Cup second round. The prize ` a possible money`spinning tie against
:18:47. > :18:50.a Premier League giant. Cambridge United are the region's last non
:18:51. > :18:56.league side standing and feature in one of the ties of the second round
:18:57. > :19:00.against Sheffield United. It's been a long time since they
:19:01. > :19:04.originated fans had it to be proud of. The current crop have seen the
:19:05. > :19:08.light, losing just one game all season. The biggest test is on
:19:09. > :19:13.Sunday, with Sheffield United at the Abbey in the FA Cup.
:19:14. > :19:17.The other big esteem that in the competition at this stage, no doubt
:19:18. > :19:23.about it. It's a long while since we were easily club. It's a long time
:19:24. > :19:27.since we had a game like this. Everyone is looking forward to it.
:19:28. > :19:32.Moving through the rounds takes fans back to the glory days, twice
:19:33. > :19:37.quarterfinalists in the early 1990s, Cambridge normally give the big guns
:19:38. > :19:42.a run for their money. The televised game will bank them around ?100,000,
:19:43. > :19:47.reach the third round and they will bank even more. Five other teams
:19:48. > :19:55.from the region to be in the hat for Sunday's third round draw. M K Dons
:19:56. > :19:59.Stevenage are the targets. Norwich have the worst defensive record in
:20:00. > :20:02.the Premier League, conceding 21 goals, five against Liverpool in
:20:03. > :20:06.midweek. The stats speak for themselves.
:20:07. > :20:14.We're on the back of a big defeat at Manchester, and of course the big
:20:15. > :20:18.defeat at Liverpool. Mac we have to defend as it even better.
:20:19. > :20:24.Nick McCarthy has got Ipswich moving the right way. Three wins out of
:20:25. > :20:28.four. The play`offs or insight. Rugby Union now, and all the talk
:20:29. > :20:31.has been about whether the English clubs will play in next season's
:20:32. > :20:34.Heineken Cup. As it stands teams including Northampton won't be
:20:35. > :20:37.playing in the competition. Instead they are exploring the possibility
:20:38. > :20:40.of teaming up with Welsh regions in an Anglo`Welsh league. Thankfully
:20:41. > :20:45.the Saints fans will see the battle on the pitch and not the boardroom
:20:46. > :20:48.tomorrow. The top two sides in Pool A meet, Leinster are at Franklins
:20:49. > :20:54.Gardens. Two years ago the Irish side beat Saints to win the Heineken
:20:55. > :20:59.Cup. They don't come much bigger in terms
:21:00. > :21:01.of a challenge. They have a wealth of international experience

:22:47. > :22:50.Nelson Mandela inspired millions of people around the world, but he was
:22:51. > :22:55.also inspired by many people from this region, which is why he visited

:24:23. > :24:28.Mandela's magic then inspired the Cambridge dons in an impromptu

:25:25. > :25:40.you have concerns about flooding, the floodlight number, . The weather

:25:47. > :25:50.into the weekend. It is looking largely dry, but will be cloudy at
:25:51. > :25:55.times. At the moment we have got clear skies across the region. That
:25:56. > :25:59.had been a touch of frost, also the week when a fund that might bring
:26:00. > :26:03.isolated shower. For many, it does look largely dry and the
:26:04. > :26:05.temperatures are expected to recover by the end of the night. Low
:26:06. > :26:10.temperatures of three or four Celsius. We start tomorrow with
:26:11. > :26:15.bright weather, some sunny spells breaking through the cloud, but
:26:16. > :26:21.quite a lot of cloud, and into the afternoon a bit more cloud feeding
:26:22. > :26:27.through. Not as cold as today, highs of perhaps eight Celsius. The winds
:26:28. > :26:32.south`westerly, so it will become milder as we work our way through
:26:33. > :26:37.the weekend. Looking ahead, we have high pressure building in. You can
:26:38. > :26:40.follow the Isa buyers to see that, it is a south`westerly wind, that
:26:41. > :26:45.means milder temperatures through the weekend and into next week. For
:26:46. > :26:50.Sunday, ten pages may claim to nine Celsius. A lot of cloud and at
:26:51. > :26:56.times, the odd bright spell, a brisk south`westerly wind, but not a bad
:26:57. > :27:01.day for most. Into the beginning of next week, very little is changing.
:27:02. > :27:07.It stays cloudy, high`pressure, temperatures around average, not too
:27:08. > :27:14.chilly. After tonight, we have got slightly milder night. A risk of
:27:15. > :27:18.frost in some spots, but with most of us, we should be about frost
:27:19. > :27:20.free. That's all from Look East for
:27:21. > :27:24.tonight. We're back with all your news in our
:27:25. > :27:27.late bulletin tonight, after the ten o' clock news. We'll have all your
