:00:00. > :00:10.Peter, thank you. That's all from the BBC News
:00:11. > :00:14.Good evening, welcome. On the programme tonight. Pressure on the
:00:15. > :00:17.front line, and a push for more volunteers. Is Northamptonshire
:00:18. > :00:25.trying to police on the cheap? Also tonight. Drama at London Road as a
:00:26. > :00:29.fan visit `` collapses pitch side with a heart attack.
:00:30. > :00:35.He's eating and wants to go home. The first thing he said to me was,
:00:36. > :00:37.what with the score? And looking ahead to the National Badminton
:00:38. > :00:42.Championships, with the husband and wife team hoping for success in the
:00:43. > :00:44.mixed doubles. And the Hollywood a list recreating
:00:45. > :01:05.history at Huxford. `` Duxford. First tonight. The pressure on our
:01:06. > :01:09.front line police forces. The policing minister was in the area
:01:10. > :01:13.today to look at a new initiative involved in cutting crime. The force
:01:14. > :01:16.is also pushing to triple the number of special constables. But is it
:01:17. > :01:26.policing on the cheap? In a moment we'll hear from the Police and
:01:27. > :01:33.Jodie, to Reza and Joyce, all part of a police experiment, working with
:01:34. > :01:37.officers, these women from a nursery, homeless hostel and church
:01:38. > :01:43.have helped tackle street jinking in their pot of Northampton. ``
:01:44. > :01:48.drinking. We got volunteer to do the physical work and learn on what goes
:01:49. > :01:54.on in the church. We have got a group to pull the cheese down to see
:01:55. > :02:00.`` so you can see directly into the churchyard. Before, the police did
:02:01. > :02:04.not involve you, they tried to sort the situation out but we are now all
:02:05. > :02:10.involved in the situation and we wanted to work just as much as they
:02:11. > :02:13.do. This scheme, using the community to solve problems, is thought to be
:02:14. > :02:16.the first of the kind in the country. Enough to attract a
:02:17. > :02:26.minister from the policing minister who has told `` was told it has
:02:27. > :02:29.reduced street drinking. We have seen a reduction in street drinking
:02:30. > :02:35.and so it has definitely been a success for us. Mean one of the
:02:36. > :02:41.danger police is also trying to promote more officers, they are
:02:42. > :02:45.underpaid volunteers. Is this policing on the cheap? I think
:02:46. > :02:54.special have always played a significant role in policing, they
:02:55. > :03:01.can do something on top of the full`time officers and PCS (already
:03:02. > :03:06.there. Other forces may be watching to see how well these schemes work.
:03:07. > :03:08.In the last hour I spoke to the Police and Crime Commissioner for
:03:09. > :03:14.Northamptonshire Adam Simmonds and asked him if the county's police
:03:15. > :03:17.force is under pressure. My ambition for Northamptonshire is to make it
:03:18. > :03:22.the safest place in England so that requires a new way of thinking and
:03:23. > :03:27.working. It requires community to look at themselves and say, they
:03:28. > :03:31.cannot just expect the police to do everything. I expect communities to
:03:32. > :03:35.work out how they can police their own street and look after their own
:03:36. > :03:43.homes and schools. We are setting an ambitious target to raise the amount
:03:44. > :03:46.of special constables to 900. We have 1200 full`time officers, we
:03:47. > :03:50.want 900 volunteers. They will be properly trained as front line
:03:51. > :03:56.officers are, it is not policing in the cheap in any way. You are saying
:03:57. > :04:06.that but you do not have do hate this starting salary `` you are not
:04:07. > :04:10.having to pay these specials ?2 ,000 per year. They are not getting paid
:04:11. > :04:17.that they are played to be police officers. Is it just a coincidence
:04:18. > :04:21.that it is when you are facing 20 million of cuts in the next four
:04:22. > :04:25.years? I am not cutting police officers, I want to put more on the
:04:26. > :04:30.streets but it is no like to say I do not have enough money to put on
:04:31. > :04:37.new full time officers, we have to think creatively. Let's move on to
:04:38. > :04:42.this number, this ambitious target, 900. If you do not manage to do
:04:43. > :04:48.that, is Northamptonshire police force going to have a gap in its
:04:49. > :04:52.policing? No, we have 300 specials right now so I am looking to
:04:53. > :04:58.increase that to 900. My ambition is to raise it by October this year.
:04:59. > :05:02.The whole point is to increase the number of volunteers rather than
:05:03. > :05:08.meeting it by a particular month. If you do not manage to increase them,
:05:09. > :05:13.what is your plan B? We are going to increase them by 2016, we will have
:05:14. > :05:17.hopefully over 1000 more special constables by the time I am elected
:05:18. > :05:21.and I can say to the public that we have put more warranted police
:05:22. > :05:24.officers on the streets. It is not about a particular month. We need to
:05:25. > :05:30.raise the number, I have said do it by October this year, and I think
:05:31. > :05:33.that is entirely doable. The whole point is to raise the number of
:05:34. > :05:44.specials, not particularly when we do it by.
:05:45. > :05:46.A Peterborough United football fan is recovering in hospital after
:05:47. > :05:49.collapsing during last night's game against Swindon. 67`year`old Ray
:05:50. > :05:53.Stratton from St Ives had a heart attack during the final minutes of
:05:54. > :05:56.the match. His son Adrian says the swift response from paramedics saved
:05:57. > :06:00.his life. It was supposed to be a typical trip
:06:01. > :06:06.to London Road for the Stratton family. Lifelong fans of
:06:07. > :06:10.Peterborough United, hoping for a cup victory. As the game entered its
:06:11. > :06:15.final few minutes, it became something far more serious. You can
:06:16. > :06:20.hear the harsh. Ray Stratton were sitting in these seats with his son.
:06:21. > :06:22.The game nearly finished when he encountered serious breathing
:06:23. > :06:27.difficulties. His situation got worse quickly and soon paramedics
:06:28. > :06:30.from picked side and a doctor in the crowd were rushing to his age. This
:06:31. > :06:35.morning, Adrian described the moment his father suffered a heart attack.
:06:36. > :06:41.He was troubling to press, one of duty paramedic `` one of duty
:06:42. > :06:47.paramedic came and put into the floor. After a while he was
:06:48. > :06:51.breathing, I had one of them say he had a pulse. You was taken away on a
:06:52. > :06:55.stretcher as the crowd waited in near silence. The game is being
:06:56. > :06:56.televised live. Adrian was concerned his mother would be watching at
:06:57. > :09:19.home. We do not know the numbers, that our
:09:20. > :09:22.community is said to support families. How has that impact on
:09:23. > :09:40.morale? The air. Raise hundreds of jobs and
:09:41. > :09:44.millions of pounds for the local economy. We need to take a longer
:09:45. > :09:49.view, we need to look at it as a game of chess and sometimes
:09:50. > :09:59.personnel are moving in and out The first personnel could be flying out
:10:00. > :10:02.early as April, but they could lose more than the headline figure. The
:10:03. > :10:05.bigger the base, the bigger the cuts and this is a big place.
:10:06. > :10:08.A father who deliberately drove his Jeep into a house in Peterborough
:10:09. > :10:14.has been been given a two`year suspended jail sentence. The court
:10:15. > :10:17.heard Paul Kingsman snapped after being told his daughter was being
:10:18. > :10:20.pestered by noisy neighbours. He's been disqualified from driving and
:10:21. > :10:31.ordered to do 200 hours unpaid community work. He'll also pay costs
:10:32. > :10:37.and compensation of ?15,000. Cut back, have more zero hour contracts,
:10:38. > :10:43.do not have increases in pay. It reduces what is available to the
:10:44. > :10:45.students. And we care. Sorry, that was not the same story.
:10:46. > :10:48.Staff working in higher education have staged a third one`day strike
:10:49. > :10:52.in an ongoing dispute over pay. This was Cambridge city centre earlier
:10:53. > :10:55.today. Members of Unite, Unison and the University Colleges Union walked
:10:56. > :11:05.out over what they call a paltry 1% pay rise. Unions say the Vice
:11:06. > :11:08.Chancellors at the Russell Group of universities are pocketing big pay
:11:09. > :11:11.rises. They haven't ruled out further industrial action.
:11:12. > :11:14.A group of mothers say they want to make their fight to save their local
:11:15. > :11:16.children's centres a national campaign. Some centres are facing
:11:17. > :11:19.closure in Peterborough and across Cambridgeshire as councils say
:11:20. > :11:24.budget cuts mean they need to target the most needy. It comes as the
:11:25. > :11:33.education minister visited the region talking about how they're
:11:34. > :11:38.helping families. Angela Brennan in Peterborough with
:11:39. > :11:43.his son James. She says families are turning campaigners over threatened
:11:44. > :11:49.closures. We are trying to take this nationally. In the UK, there is a
:11:50. > :11:57.massive baby`boom and they need more children's centres not lengths ``
:11:58. > :12:02.less. The money needs to be ring fenced. We are hoping to get
:12:03. > :12:05.nationally children's centres and a threat to join us and try to get the
:12:06. > :12:13.money ring fenced. Originally, children's centres were in areas
:12:14. > :12:17.that were seen as most deprived Gradually they have expanded and all
:12:18. > :12:21.families have been encouraged to use them. Now councils are saying that
:12:22. > :12:25.the pressures on budgets, they are having to target the most
:12:26. > :12:30.honourable. In Cambridgeshire, they plan to change from 40 centres down
:12:31. > :12:35.to 12 clusters. In Peterborough it is planned to go from 15 to four
:12:36. > :12:42.super hubs and three outreach centres, not open to everyone. Today
:12:43. > :12:47.when the education minister visited she said decisions should be taken
:12:48. > :12:50.locally. It is the ultimate decision of the local council to make sure
:12:51. > :12:52.the children get a good start in life. We have been clear in
:12:53. > :12:57.government guidance that there should be a strong network of sure
:12:58. > :13:03.start centres that provide that support. In Peterborough, the plan
:13:04. > :13:08.is to earmark ?100,000 to help families is centres close. I do not
:13:09. > :13:12.think it is a drop in the ocean in Peterborough that is a large amount
:13:13. > :13:17.of money and as long as we use it well, as long as we continue to
:13:18. > :13:21.listen to the parents who will be most affected, we will provide the
:13:22. > :13:25.services that they hope to see in their area. In Peterborough, parents
:13:26. > :13:30.will find out next month if their centres are finally to close. That's
:13:31. > :13:32.all from She desperately wants to have her
:13:33. > :13:33.baby at home but it is a choice she and other mothers will now have to
:13:34. > :13:50.pay for. Still to come, the couple from
:13:51. > :13:54.Milton Keynes, favourites to win the English badminton champ ships in
:13:55. > :13:59.their home town this weekend. And the Imperial War Museum at Duxford
:14:00. > :14:02.with a starring role alongside George Clooney and Matt Damon.
:14:03. > :14:08.One in three women, and one in five men, will experience domestic
:14:09. > :14:11.violence in their lifetime. And, on average, two women are killed by a
:14:12. > :14:18.violent partner every week in the UK. Over the last few years, there
:14:19. > :14:21.have been four high`profile deaths in Essex where the police have been
:14:22. > :14:24.criticised for not doing enough. Now, there will be special advisers
:14:25. > :14:31.in local hospitals to spot the signs of abuse in people who may be too
:14:32. > :14:35.scared to ask for help. For nine years, this woman we are
:14:36. > :14:40.calling Lucy was in a relationship that became progressively more
:14:41. > :14:47.abusive. Was the abuse physically violent? Not until I became pregnant
:14:48. > :14:51.which is when it became physical. I used to snore really badly, and I
:14:52. > :14:56.would wake up to a sharp blow to the stomach. It was like I was too
:14:57. > :15:05.scared to sleep, too scared to fall asleep. Lucy was lucky, she
:15:06. > :15:08.escaped. Maria stabbings, Jeanette Goodwin and Chrissie Chambers, along
:15:09. > :15:15.with her daughter, were all killed by abusive partners in Essex. All
:15:16. > :15:19.three cases lead to critical reports from the Independent Police
:15:20. > :15:24.Complaints Commission and to a rethink into how police and councils
:15:25. > :15:27.and others can help victims and catch perpetrators. Independent
:15:28. > :15:32.domestic abuse advisers are now on maternity wards and in accident and
:15:33. > :15:37.emergency departments in Essex hospitals, hoping to make contact
:15:38. > :15:42.with victims who would not otherwise seek help. It is really important we
:15:43. > :15:47.do it here. We have access to clients who are in hidden groups,
:15:48. > :15:51.who wouldn't normally go to a domestic abuse agency. They would
:15:52. > :15:57.always go to the hospital or GP and disclose it. The idea would be we
:15:58. > :16:03.would wear these and record what we see and experience when we go to an
:16:04. > :16:08.incident. Since last month, Essex police officers have been using body
:16:09. > :16:13.worn video cameras when they attend domestic instances. It is capturing
:16:14. > :16:16.the evidence that might have been missed otherwise, the exact comments
:16:17. > :16:21.made at the scene. Often we will arrive at an instant
:16:22. > :16:24.that may still be occurring, still being committed when we arrive.
:16:25. > :16:32.Hopefully, it will lead to more convictions. Lucy says if she hadn't
:16:33. > :16:36.escaped her abusive partner, she wouldn't be here today. The question
:16:37. > :16:38.is whether the work happening now in Essex is enough to save others in
:16:39. > :16:43.her situation. Stacey Richards works with victims
:16:44. > :16:49.of domestic violence in Suffolk. She joins us now.
:16:50. > :16:59.First of all, what you think of these measures being in Essex?
:17:00. > :17:02.Hello. Much as the previous two guests have said, fantastic really
:17:03. > :17:07.because the more evidence that can be gathered, the better we can
:17:08. > :17:12.process the prosecution. People coming forward to ask for help off
:17:13. > :17:17.and have been abused many times, statistics show they have been
:17:18. > :17:22.abused many times before they get to us.
:17:23. > :17:32.Why is that? Fear, embarrassment. It is sometimes
:17:33. > :17:35.quite hard to approach an agency and ask for help. People get very
:17:36. > :17:40.frightened when they are in that kind of relationship.
:17:41. > :17:44.You are dealing with people who have been through domestic violence, what
:17:45. > :17:49.do you say to them when they finally come? They must be brave to get to
:17:50. > :17:55.that stage. Extremely, I take my hat off to
:17:56. > :18:01.anybody that picks up the phone and reports, and asks for help. It is an
:18:02. > :18:06.extremely courageous move, and a very difficult one to take. I am
:18:07. > :18:11.really proud of anybody who does. By doing this, we can raise `` can
:18:12. > :18:19.raise more awareness of the agencies. The police and agencies
:18:20. > :18:24.are finding it hard to improve their treatment of victims.
:18:25. > :18:30.Why do think so many people are falling the net?
:18:31. > :18:36.Definitely there are far too many tragedies. And police, statutory,
:18:37. > :18:40.voluntary agencies, are doing extremely well with their awareness
:18:41. > :18:45.training, offering more and more support. Unfortunately, people still
:18:46. > :18:51.do not report it. Our neighbours, are they aware, do they feel
:18:52. > :18:56.comfortable to pick up the phone and say this is not right and I want to
:18:57. > :19:00.do something about it? There may be people watching tonight who are
:19:01. > :19:03.either victims, or know someone who they think is a victim of domestic
:19:04. > :19:07.violence. What would you say to them that they
:19:08. > :19:12.should do? Please, please, have the strength
:19:13. > :19:17.and courage to pick up the phone and ask somebody for help. If you don't
:19:18. > :19:20.wish to report to the police, perhaps you would feel comfortable
:19:21. > :19:26.walking into a children's centre or seeing a nurse at your GP. Whoever
:19:27. > :19:29.you feel comfortable speaking to, please pick up the phone, and let us
:19:30. > :19:35.stop this happening now. You can see more on that subject in
:19:36. > :19:41.the Sunday Politics, Sunday at 11am, on BBC One.
:19:42. > :19:46.It's not uncommon for sports stars to get married to each other.
:19:47. > :19:49.There's Andre Agassi and Steffi Graff, and Zara Philips and Mike
:19:50. > :19:53.Tindall. But there are very few couples who play the same sport, in
:19:54. > :19:56.the same team. Chris and Gabby Adcock play mixed doubles in
:19:57. > :20:02.Badminton, and are favourites to win the national title in Milton Keynes
:20:03. > :20:06.this weekend. It is not uncommon in badminton for
:20:07. > :20:12.relationships on court to blossom of court. Chris and Gabby Adcock of the
:20:13. > :20:17.latest 24/7 couple. Teenage sweethearts, they tied the knot last
:20:18. > :20:26.summer and are still getting used to their own `` their new status.
:20:27. > :20:31.Gabrielle White... Gabrielle Adcock! They are the British leading mixed
:20:32. > :20:33.doubles team, they are now ranked number five.
:20:34. > :20:38.They beat the Olympic champions on the way to winning the Hong Kong
:20:39. > :20:43.open. Becoming only the second British pair ever to win on the
:20:44. > :20:47.global stage. We both want to succeed and we are driven. It means
:20:48. > :20:53.we can be honest and completely truthful with each other where we
:20:54. > :21:00.need to work on. I think it is an advantage. We are on a brave lead
:21:01. > :21:05.which is better than some people. We get to travel together everywhere.
:21:06. > :21:11.Some people who travel away miss their partners. A big advantage.
:21:12. > :21:14.Their second big win is expected to come at the National Championships
:21:15. > :21:19.this weekend staged in their home town of Milton Keynes. It is great
:21:20. > :21:25.they have brought the champ ships to the home of badminton. It should get
:21:26. > :21:31.really good crowds. It is an exciting time. The nationals are
:21:32. > :21:35.closely followed by the European champion ships in Switzerland. Their
:21:36. > :21:40.main focus is on the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. In between, there
:21:41. > :21:46.is the small matter of a house move. It is all good for Mr and Mrs
:21:47. > :21:49.Adcock. There must be sometimes where you could do with not seeing
:21:50. > :21:54.other! We are so used to it from such a
:21:55. > :22:03.young age, from the age of 15, we have spent our whole time together.
:22:04. > :22:07.We got our own house together and travelled together. We wouldn't know
:22:08. > :22:14.any other way. We love what we do and being able to share it together.
:22:15. > :22:15.Business or pleasure, badminton's number one couple have a connection
:22:16. > :22:23.no others can match. This region is rich in very famous
:22:24. > :22:26.people. Everything from film stars to rock stars, and from Prime
:22:27. > :22:30.Ministers to Archbishops. Now, we can add George Clooney and Matt
:22:31. > :22:32.Damon to the list. Last year, the Hollywood A`listers were at the
:22:33. > :22:36.Imperial War Museum at Duxford near Cambridge, to shoot some scenes for
:22:37. > :22:38.the film, The Monuments Men. Next week, the film is released, as Mike
:22:39. > :22:58.Liggins reports. As film sets go, the Imperial War
:22:59. > :23:06.Museum is up there with the best. Now, it features in a new Hollywood
:23:07. > :23:11.movie. They have been stealing our art. We need to put a team together
:23:12. > :23:16.to protect what is left. The Monuments Men. The scenes were
:23:17. > :23:20.filmed in May last year. Here is a relaxed George Clooney on set, he
:23:21. > :23:26.directs and stars in The Monuments Men alongside Matt Damon. You see
:23:27. > :23:42.George Clooney, Matt Damon, landing in the air foils `` airfield, and
:23:43. > :23:46.walking towards the airfield. The film is a true story, allied art
:23:47. > :23:52.historians and curators rescued countless works of art stolen by the
:23:53. > :23:56.Germans. I never heard the expression, The Monuments Men, which
:23:57. > :24:02.captures the essence of this band of people. It wasn't a team of people I
:24:03. > :24:11.was familiar with, it is wonderful to learn about them. How long did it
:24:12. > :24:17.take to build? 28 years! Really? A big part of my life. Terry has a
:24:18. > :24:24.replica Spitfire he built himself. He was involved in the filming at
:24:25. > :24:29.Duxford. It took all day to prepare. It was lined up with three flying
:24:30. > :24:36.Spitfires. Hugh Bonneville came along and walked part `` past. The
:24:37. > :24:46.stars apparently stayed in Cambridge, going to the gym, and
:24:47. > :24:51.turning up to play basketball. You can burn their homes and somehow
:24:52. > :24:56.they will find their way back. But if you destroy their history, you
