:00:00. > :00:11.Hello, welcome to the programme Coming up tonight, the demand for
:00:12. > :00:16.more police on the streets following the murder of this teenager in
:00:17. > :00:21.Bedford and the community worker calling for a change. The community
:00:22. > :00:26.needs to think positively rather than saying Midland Road is a bad
:00:27. > :00:30.area and unsafe, we need to get together and make a difference. The
:00:31. > :00:33.row over the cost of getting away from it all in the school holidays
:00:34. > :00:39.and the mother who wants it raised in Parliament.
:00:40. > :00:43.And we will be looking at stopping flooding downstream.
:00:44. > :00:49.And the gymnast about to go back to the country of his birth to try to
:00:50. > :00:58.make it to reopen. `` to Rio de Janeiro. Hello. First tonight, the
:00:59. > :01:02.demand for more police on the beat after a teenager was murdered in
:01:03. > :01:05.Bedford at the weekend. Isaac Stone was stabbed to death in the Midland
:01:06. > :01:10.Road area on Sunday evening. Residents say crime and anti`social
:01:11. > :01:13.behaviour are rife. And tonight they're meeting with the local
:01:14. > :01:20.Police and Crime Commissioner to discuss their concerns.
:01:21. > :01:25.The murder of a teenager is difficult for any community to face.
:01:26. > :01:29.Redford's Midland Road is no exception. On Saturday, 19`year`old
:01:30. > :01:35.Isaacs Dome was stabbed to death here. The belief they at the
:01:36. > :01:38.teenager was deliberately targeted. The chair of the local residents
:01:39. > :01:44.Association told me that the community had been left shocked It
:01:45. > :01:51.has caused great sadness for money, great upset, and I think great fear
:01:52. > :01:56.and concern. Concern over why it has happened and what the causes are,
:01:57. > :02:02.and I'll likely to be further ramifications? Of course, this
:02:03. > :02:05.murder has left many people in the middle and Road area concerned that
:02:06. > :02:12.there is a gang problem here, but many of this area have little to do
:02:13. > :02:17.with young people and gangs. `` in the Midland Road area. The Midland
:02:18. > :02:22.Road area has long suffered from anti`social behaviour including
:02:23. > :02:24.drug`taking and street drinking Tonight, the local residents
:02:25. > :02:28.Association will call for more policing when they meet with the
:02:29. > :02:34.local Police and Crime Commissioner. Not everyone seems concerned. There
:02:35. > :02:41.are issues, but it is like anyone else at the end of the day. I would
:02:42. > :02:47.not walk around alone at night. I have lived all my life and I have no
:02:48. > :02:52.row problem. This woman says that teenagers are often wrongly blamed
:02:53. > :02:57.for problems, she says she is saddened by the murder but it is an
:02:58. > :03:02.isolated situation and the community needs to pull together. We need to
:03:03. > :03:06.act upon it so it does not happen again. We have the resources
:03:07. > :03:09.available. The community needs to be positive rather than say that
:03:10. > :03:18.Midland Road is a bad area and unsafe. We need to get together to
:03:19. > :03:20.make a difference. The police and the local authorities have said they
:03:21. > :03:23.made great strides in cleaning up the area, but the understand the
:03:24. > :03:27.concerns of residents are concerns that have only been heightened by
:03:28. > :03:31.the murder of eyes that stone. `` by the murder of Eisenach.
:03:32. > :03:35.Earlier I spoke to Chief Inspector Julian Frost and put it to him that
:03:36. > :03:41.some residents have called Midland Road a "no`go area".
:03:42. > :03:45.No, that is completely untrue. The police station is in the Midland
:03:46. > :03:51.Road area itself, so no, I, myself live around 200 metres just outside
:03:52. > :03:58.the area covered by the Midland Road residents Association, so it is not
:03:59. > :04:02.a description or ignite at all. We are regularly there, we have PCSO is
:04:03. > :04:06.out there, they live in that area, so a no`go area is about the
:04:07. > :04:13.furthest I could possibly imagine from the area. Some people have
:04:14. > :04:17.spoken about intimidation, violence, lawlessness, a place they say were
:04:18. > :04:25.crime and anti`social behaviour are rife? Like many areas, Midland Road
:04:26. > :04:29.does have its issues, but certainly, that is not a description that I
:04:30. > :04:36.recognise of the area that I work and live in. It has issues and we
:04:37. > :04:39.are seeking to address them. You can understand why following the murder
:04:40. > :04:45.at the weekend, people want more reassurance and they actually want
:04:46. > :04:53.to see more police on the beat is Mac `` on the beat. Yes, we have got
:04:54. > :04:57.police talking to people, reassuring people, the community and people
:04:58. > :05:01.passing through, and looking for information. We have got additional
:05:02. > :05:05.police, over and above the money we would have for the night`time
:05:06. > :05:08.economy anyway, who will be working with me and talking to the people in
:05:09. > :05:12.Midland Road and providing reassurance to show we are serious
:05:13. > :05:15.about happened last weekend in serious about supporting the
:05:16. > :05:20.community in the Midland Road area. I know that your meeting with people
:05:21. > :05:26.tonight, what would be your main message? Firstly, we are determined
:05:27. > :05:30.that we bring the people that have taken this man's life to justice and
:05:31. > :05:33.secondly, that we will continue with the work we're doing alongside them
:05:34. > :05:44.and our partners to make Midland Road a safer place and a nicer place
:05:45. > :05:48.to live. Thank you. A family from Royston returned home
:05:49. > :05:51.after a family holiday to find a car had reversed into their kitchen
:05:52. > :05:54.completely demolishing one wall Emergency services and gas engineers
:05:55. > :05:57.had to evacuate the street and make the area safe after the incident on
:05:58. > :06:01.Saturday. No one was injured. The owners, Josie and Tony Poole, had
:06:02. > :06:08.only moved into the property five months ago. They're now waiting for
:06:09. > :06:11.insurers to inspect the damage. The kitchen is used a lot, the
:06:12. > :06:19.grandchildren sit here and do their homework. It could have been so much
:06:20. > :06:23.worse. But thankfully nobody has been hurt. Not seriously anyway It
:06:24. > :06:28.is just the damage to the property. We have only been here five months,
:06:29. > :06:30.we had done it all up, and we want it back together again as soon as
:06:31. > :06:33.possible. Next tonight, the claim that holiday
:06:34. > :06:43.companies rip off consumers with holiday prices during the school
:06:44. > :06:48.holidays. In a moment we will speak to companies representing the travel
:06:49. > :06:52.industry, but first, this report. Outside the school gates, it is what
:06:53. > :06:59.parents are talking about across the region, pay school holiday prices
:07:00. > :07:02.are face paying a fine. We need to follow the school policy, but we
:07:03. > :07:07.should not be penalised because we have children at school. I have to
:07:08. > :07:13.go to Thailand to visit my wife if I wished during the holidays it
:07:14. > :07:19.would cost ?3500 for my children and myself. It is terrible. It is greed,
:07:20. > :07:25.commercialisation gone mad, it encourages terrible behaviour. The
:07:26. > :07:31.children miss out. The new rules mean that classes can only be missed
:07:32. > :07:34.in exceptional circumstances. The Department for Education says that
:07:35. > :07:38.this stops a valuable learning times being lost but it means that
:07:39. > :07:44.holidays had to be taken when prices tend to be more expensive. This
:07:45. > :07:47.woman has collected nearly 150, 00 signatures, and her petition is
:07:48. > :07:56.calling for prices to be cut in school holiday. She started it after
:07:57. > :07:58.taking a break at Center Parcs. I tried to book the same apartment who
:07:59. > :08:03.had previously. Basically it was ?1000 more expensive than had I gone
:08:04. > :08:08.a week before. Center Parcs will open the newest development in the
:08:09. > :08:12.summer at Headford. The prices are set by the market, says the Chief
:08:13. > :08:16.Executive. We might make a profit in the peak times, but we have to in
:08:17. > :08:21.peak times, because we have to achieve a level of revenue across
:08:22. > :08:23.the year which allows us to reinvest in the business to improve the
:08:24. > :08:29.quality for the guests that come back every year. That is what they
:08:30. > :08:32.expect and that is what we do. Take a holiday without the permission of
:08:33. > :08:36.the school and the parents could face an initial fine of ?60 per
:08:37. > :08:45.child. This travel agent in Bedford says they have seen a drop in family
:08:46. > :08:51.bookings in term time already. We have seen a deep crease of about
:08:52. > :08:53.13%. January is a weak time for booking summer holidays and we have
:08:54. > :08:59.seen people just not wanting to commit at the moment. `` we have
:09:00. > :09:03.seen a decrease. The school end of term time is fast approaching which
:09:04. > :09:13.means that this could see a rise in holiday prices.
:09:14. > :09:19.Do you have any sympathy for the parents of school`age children? Yes,
:09:20. > :09:25.we do, and it needs to be explained economic realities behind by prices
:09:26. > :09:28.increased during school holidays. It is all about supply and demand, in
:09:29. > :09:32.that when you see an increase in demand for it ever reason, school
:09:33. > :09:36.holidays being part of that reason, then prices will increase. If you
:09:37. > :09:40.look at when holidays are taken it is Christmas, Easter, July and
:09:41. > :09:44.August, and those are the busiest times of the year for the industry
:09:45. > :09:49.and prices constantly increase. If you look at foreign holidays, we are
:09:50. > :09:54.eating with the rest of Europe for hotel space, and if you are a
:09:55. > :09:58.hotelier in Spain and you have somebody wanting to book rooms in
:09:59. > :10:02.August, then that'll tell will put up the prices considerably. `` we
:10:03. > :10:08.are competing with the rest of Europe. You say supply and demand,
:10:09. > :10:13.parents that we spoke to say greed and commercialisation gone mad. That
:10:14. > :10:17.is quite wrong. In the British market, we have the cheapest foreign
:10:18. > :10:21.holidays in Europe, I can guarantee you that if you spoke to a parent
:10:22. > :10:28.and asked what they paged compare to what we charge, they pay rather
:10:29. > :10:31.more. `` what they paid. We have been saying this for decades to
:10:32. > :10:35.various governments, the issue for school holidays is the time of year
:10:36. > :10:39.when it is taken, when it is already very busy, so the prices will be
:10:40. > :10:43.higher, so we suggested the solution is to stagger the days when schools
:10:44. > :10:49.take holiday and not take them all at the same time. That may be one
:10:50. > :10:57.solution, another solution is perhaps capping the percentage rise
:10:58. > :11:00.in prices. That will not work, because if you talk about dealing
:11:01. > :11:04.with a foreign hotelier, if you can only pay them a certain amount,
:11:05. > :11:09.there will simply say, sorry, we will sell those rooms to somebody
:11:10. > :11:13.else, so it is more about changing the date when the school takes the
:11:14. > :11:17.holidays, giving them the option to have a summer break abroad in June,
:11:18. > :11:22.September and the demand is a lot lower and the prices are lower. It
:11:23. > :11:30.is not about artificially capping prices, that will not work. We'd
:11:31. > :11:34.love to hear what you think. You can get in touch by phone. Or send us an
:11:35. > :11:37.email.There's Facebook and Twitter too. And we'll be looking at some of
:11:38. > :11:39.your comments later in the programme.
:11:40. > :11:42.Police in Cambridgeshire are hunting a gang who raided a restaurant
:11:43. > :11:46.dressed in camouflage onesies. It happened on December the 27th at the
:11:47. > :11:49.Glinton McDonalds. Three of the gang were caught on CCTV. Staff were
:11:50. > :11:56.shaken but unharmed. The police are appealing for information.
:11:57. > :12:00.That is all from us, we can go Essex. In June, Ashton Rybak will be
:12:01. > :12:02.up again. `` Ash Dieback. The woods are undergoing a huge and unwelcome
:12:03. > :12:15.change. Still to come, the girl who can now
:12:16. > :12:20.eat five peanuts a day after researchers in Cambridge cure to
:12:21. > :12:21.allergy. And a gymnast swapping the union Jack for the colours of South
:12:22. > :12:27.Africa. After months and months of rain,
:12:28. > :12:31.most of our rivers are full and, of course, that means the risk of
:12:32. > :12:35.flooding is always there. Which is why experts are trying to
:12:36. > :12:39.find a way of cutting the risk .In Norfolk, they are slowing down the
:12:40. > :12:44.flow of a river upstream, to stop flooding further
:12:45. > :12:51.this river as it nears the sea. Like so many rivers, it is boxed in by
:12:52. > :12:56.man`made flood banks. But miles upstream, a clock is being turned
:12:57. > :13:04.back. Trees are being felled, this may look like a mess but it has a
:13:05. > :13:08.purpose. We are building low`lying structures along the edge of the
:13:09. > :13:12.river, designed to narrow the stream, to make it more bending, it
:13:13. > :13:16.has been straightened over the years. We are putting the curves
:13:17. > :13:21.back in the riffraff, and every structure where we felled trees will
:13:22. > :13:26.be trapping silt. The red line on this photograph shows the current
:13:27. > :13:30.straightened course, the plan is to reverted to the way veep blue course
:13:31. > :13:35.of over nearly 200 years ago. Over time, these areas of timber will
:13:36. > :13:42.patch the silt, and you will not be able to see it at all, there will be
:13:43. > :13:49.a bank here great for wildlife. And at times of intense flow, the river
:13:50. > :13:53.will flow outside its channel, meaning less flooding downstream.
:13:54. > :13:55.Aquatic life could benefit, the project is being backed by
:13:56. > :14:01.landowners, the Environment Agency and the Norfolk Rivers trust. You
:14:02. > :14:04.can see the way the river is bouncing from site to site, that
:14:05. > :14:13.will become a self`perpetuating system. The river wants to do that.
:14:14. > :14:17.Could this reduce the risk of the devastation being witnessed in
:14:18. > :14:22.Somerset? Perhaps. The idea is now being tried elsewhere. We have a
:14:23. > :14:26.really good example in Norfolk where over the last couple of years, we
:14:27. > :14:30.have introduced a strategy of trying to reinstate the river act to its
:14:31. > :14:35.natural habitat. In doing that, by increasing flows in the raw `` in
:14:36. > :14:41.the water course and making it more self`sustaining, it stops the silt
:14:42. > :14:46.build`up. Getting the river back to its original course will take years,
:14:47. > :15:01.but those behind the project say everyone will benefit.
:15:02. > :15:03.As we have heard today, researchers at Addenbrooke's Hospital in
:15:04. > :15:06.Cambridge have made a breakthrough in the treatment of one of our
:15:07. > :15:10.commonest allergies, to peanuts. One of the patients who was taking
:15:11. > :15:14.part in the trial is 11`year`old Lena Barden, who lives in Histon.
:15:15. > :15:18.From the age of two, she has had a severe reaction to eating peanuts
:15:19. > :15:21.and was picked to take part in the research at Addenbrook's. She was
:15:22. > :15:25.fed a tiny dose of nuts over a four`month period. At the end, she
:15:26. > :15:27.could safely eat five whole peanuts a day.
:15:28. > :15:32.Lena and her mum Diana are at home in Histon now. The first time you
:15:33. > :15:35.notice this reaction, what happened? She was just over two and we had
:15:36. > :15:41.been out for the day and my mother and I were having a drink and she
:15:42. > :15:47.broke a bit of the biscuit and she spat out the peanuts, which probably
:15:48. > :15:51.saved her life because that meant the reaction came on much slower
:15:52. > :15:59.than it would have done. So over the next couple of hours, she became
:16:00. > :16:04.more and more upset and coughing. Eventually, she was struggling for
:16:05. > :16:13.breath. Lena, down the years, what have you most missed eating?
:16:14. > :16:22.Probably doughnuts. You can need those now? Yes, I had my first about
:16:23. > :16:26.a year ago. What has it been like for you, presumably you go to
:16:27. > :16:32.parties and to friend and you could not eat what they were eating? ``
:16:33. > :16:37.friends. It was quite annoying because whenever my friend had a
:16:38. > :16:40.party, my mother had to read every label in the House. Seeing if
:16:41. > :16:46.anything had anything to do with peanuts, it was quite frustrating.
:16:47. > :16:52.Whenever I go out with my friends, it used to be annoying because I had
:16:53. > :16:57.to read every label. She has been very good about it but it has been
:16:58. > :17:02.difficult for you as well? Yes, I have to say, Lena has had to
:17:03. > :17:06.grow up much faster than her friends and she has had to read labels when
:17:07. > :17:15.I was not around. It has been very hard, we never had allergies in our
:17:16. > :17:21.family. I was weaned on peanuts, my family are American. It has been
:17:22. > :17:26.quite a lesson. So she has to eat five peanuts every day now, it keeps
:17:27. > :17:33.everything going. But you do not like peanuts, do you, Lena? I
:17:34. > :17:39.absolutely hate them and they taste disgusting.
:17:40. > :17:42.It is quite a struggle. Thank you, both of you.
:17:43. > :17:45.Well, from ground`breaking research at one of our hospitals to high`tech
:17:46. > :17:48.innovation at another. Today, surgeons in Ipswich used a
:17:49. > :17:53.robotic camera to beam live pictures from an operation to a team 800
:17:54. > :17:56.miles away in France. It is a first for the UK, and the French
:17:57. > :18:03.President, Francois Hollande, was one of the people watching.
:18:04. > :18:07.We are inside the simulation room at Ipswich Hospital, watching gave very
:18:08. > :18:16.real gall bladder operation underway in a theatre. That is where they are
:18:17. > :18:20.putting the cannula. Into the doctor that comes from the gall bladder.
:18:21. > :18:27.Access comes from a robotic camera and we are not the only ones. The
:18:28. > :18:31.images are fed live to the European Institute of tele` surgery in
:18:32. > :18:37.Strasbourg. Today playing host to a very important visit from Francois
:18:38. > :18:39.Hollande, taking a presidential look at the pioneering pictures. The
:18:40. > :18:44.Strasbourg team world leaders and can used the link `` can use the
:18:45. > :18:48.link to give training and guidance to enhance a surgeon 's knowledge.
:18:49. > :18:56.From Victorian times, how things have changed? ``! It did not become
:18:57. > :19:00.a good idea because of infection. This allows us to teach the large
:19:01. > :19:04.numbers of people without having them in the operating theatre. The
:19:05. > :19:10.camera costs around ?70,000, the link especially encrypted to keep
:19:11. > :19:17.data safe. What do you see is the potential for this technology in the
:19:18. > :19:23.NHS? We will bring in experts in their field, new techniques, and
:19:24. > :19:26.improve the surgery and the result. The project is part of a wider drive
:19:27. > :19:31.to develop excellence here. This new training area with pretend patient
:19:32. > :19:39.mannequins which cost around 50,000 pounds each opens soon. Doing things
:19:40. > :19:42.like this will attract the best of the best optimistic Ipswich. And I
:19:43. > :19:49.considered the people that work in this hospital to be the best of the
:19:50. > :19:54.best. `` into Ipswich. I think we can achieve greater things. They
:19:55. > :19:57.have high hopes for the future and this high`tech French connection is
:19:58. > :20:01.just the start. For almost any sportsman or woman,
:20:02. > :20:05.the best thing you can ever do is to represent your country. Which is why
:20:06. > :20:08.one young gymnast from Cambridgeshire has made a very
:20:09. > :20:11.important decision. Cameron Mackenzie has competed for
:20:12. > :20:16.Britain and helped the team to win the European Junior Championships.
:20:17. > :20:20.But he was born in South Africa and now he has decided to go back, to
:20:21. > :20:25.try to become the African champion. That would open the door to the
:20:26. > :20:32.Olympics in Rio. It is time for Cameron McKenzie to
:20:33. > :20:35.leave a place he has called home for 11 years. Mum and dad help pack to
:20:36. > :20:41.begin a new journey under a new flag. He has been very proud to
:20:42. > :20:46.represent Great Britain and when he has stood on the podium with the
:20:47. > :20:49.anthem, he has been proud. But it would add to his experience as a
:20:50. > :20:58.person to have the additional privilege of standing there for his
:20:59. > :21:02.country of birth. He has trained here in Huntingdon since the age of
:21:03. > :21:07.nine but he has moved back to the country of his birth, South Africa,
:21:08. > :21:10.to achieve an Olympic dream. I have done a lot of national and
:21:11. > :21:14.international competitions for Great Britain, but to be an individual
:21:15. > :21:21.champion of a continent, that is a step up to another level. His first
:21:22. > :21:25.job is to get in shape for the African Championships at the end of

:21:30. > :21:36.systems go on the road to Rio. Being the best gymnast in Africa, with a
:21:37. > :21:40.population of a billion, would open up big sponsorship opportunities,
:21:41. > :21:45.not possible in Britain. He has competed many times under the union
:21:46. > :21:48.flag, winning junior team Gold at the European Championships four
:21:49. > :21:54.years ago. Do you feel English or South African? I would say I feel
:21:55. > :21:58.more South African. I did a competition for South Africa in 2010
:21:59. > :22:03.and I was competing for Great Britain, and I won it. I remember
:22:04. > :22:08.standing on the podium with the British uncomplaining and I thought,
:22:09. > :22:12.it does not quite feel right. The gymnastics world is quite a

:22:43. > :22:49.South African anthem is playing, I get proud, so it will be a special
:22:50. > :22:52.moment. He has seen the contribution Louis Smith has made and he wants to
:22:53. > :22:59.provide the same spark for South Africa, they have not sent a gymnast
:23:00. > :23:03.to the Olympics since 1954. I could be looking at the next! `` they
:23:04. > :23:07.could be. Earlier, we asked for your views on
:23:08. > :23:10.a subject that is controversial, the cost of going on holiday in the

:24:24. > :24:29.shower, but largely dry. Increasingly cloudy. The signal this
:24:30. > :24:34.weather front is on its way will be the wind speed. It is possible

:26:06. > :26:06.a person without kids, I cannot afford a holiday during school
:26:07. > :26:12.holidays. The elsewhere `` the outrageous
:26:13. > :26:17.prices affect everyone. Mary says, common sense tells you increased

:26:23. > :26:29.Tony says, it is simple supply and demand. Sally says, so what if you
:26:30. > :26:33.cannot have a holiday? Why does everybody think they are entitled?
