:00:00. > :00:15.It Hello and welcome to Look East. In the programme tonight:
:00:16. > :00:20.Face`to`face with the familx which says their autistic son was beaten
:00:21. > :00:23.up by police. They do have trust and confidence in us but that h`s been
:00:24. > :00:29.dented. There is no doubt about that. Grounded ` all intern`tional
:00:30. > :00:32.flights from Cambridge Airport are cancelled. A vital goal for the
:00:33. > :00:53.Cobblers in their battle ag`inst relegation. And Molly from Dssex, a
:00:54. > :00:55.true friend for life. First tonight, a meeting between the Chief
:00:56. > :01:00.Constable of Bedfordshire and the family of an autistic man who say he
:01:01. > :01:03.was beaten up by two of her officers. It's a case that has
:01:04. > :01:06.exposed tensions between police and the community in Luton. Tod`y,
:01:07. > :01:08.Colette Paul said she wanted to reassure relatives of Faruk Ali
:01:09. > :01:15.there would be answers. We'll hear more from her in a moment. But
:01:16. > :01:19.first, this report by Sally Chidzoy. Faruk Ali is severely autistic with
:01:20. > :01:22.a mental age of five. His f`mily say he was badly beaten and bruhsed
:01:23. > :01:26.outside his home in an unprovoked attack by two police officers
:01:27. > :01:30.sitting in this car. But it is not the first time he has been hn a
:01:31. > :01:40.confrontation with police. The first time was two years ago. Thex just
:01:41. > :01:48.put to the ground and startdd on him. Sonia Tyler says she s`w
:01:49. > :01:51.everything. There were hitthng him and he was screaming and crxing One
:01:52. > :01:54.of them nearly pulled his trousers down in one case. They were just
:01:55. > :01:59.tackling him. Because he was fighting himself because he was
:02:00. > :02:04.frightened. The Police Constable met his family to discuss both
:02:05. > :02:07.incidents. The main focus w`s the latest one in which he was left with
:02:08. > :02:10.several injuries. His relathves say he was wearing a badge highlighting
:02:11. > :02:27.his disabilities. When officers allegedly beat him. . She w`sn't in
:02:28. > :02:30.a position to answer any of the questions or in a position to say
:02:31. > :02:33.how long this investigation would take. It really was more of a
:02:34. > :02:37.reassurance meeting, the sort of meeting with the family, th`t was
:02:38. > :02:40.what it was. Who thinks thex should be suspended immediately? Shnce this
:02:41. > :02:43.heated public meeting last week the two officers remain at work but they
:02:44. > :02:46.have been barred from to wrhte dealings with the public, who are
:02:47. > :02:50.following the case with intdrest. This man is a human being. They are
:02:51. > :02:53.doing their duty. It is maybe the sort of thing that happens `nd it
:02:54. > :02:57.does damage relationships. H think they did quite a good job, really,
:02:58. > :02:59.but it is certain people. It is OK. Leicestershire police are
:03:00. > :03:07.investigating under IPCC supervision and they will look at both hncidents
:03:08. > :03:10.involving police and Faruk @li. This afternoon I spoke to Chief Constable
:03:11. > :03:14.Colette Paul and put it to her that the family of Faruk Ali felt she had
:03:15. > :03:18.not answered their questions. It was actually very cordial and I would
:03:19. > :03:22.say productive. What I would say obviously is I answered as lany
:03:23. > :03:25.questions as I could and as frankly as I could but obviously within the
:03:26. > :03:30.confines of an ongoing investigation. We understand that
:03:31. > :03:37.Faruk Ali was attacked prevhously by police so this is the second time he
:03:38. > :03:43.has been attacked. Can you confirm that? I can confirm that an incident
:03:44. > :03:48.took place back in 2011 with Faruk and an investigation took place on
:03:49. > :03:52.that occasion. What I would say is that I have asked the investigation
:03:53. > :03:58.happened since as part of this happened since as part of this
:03:59. > :04:01.ongoing investigation as well. How worried are you about what seems to
:04:02. > :04:08.be this rising anger among the community? I would not call it
:04:09. > :04:13.rising anger, I know the colmunity have been concerned right from the
:04:14. > :04:19.start and rightfully concerned. They have certainly let us know their
:04:20. > :04:22.concern. And I am going out to mosques and different community
:04:23. > :04:27.groups to speak to people, `s are my staff and colleagues. It is only
:04:28. > :04:33.occasionally that things go wrong but when they do, we have got to be
:04:34. > :04:36.big enough to learn. You have cleared your diary, you say, in this
:04:37. > :04:43.letter to residents, as published on the website. That is not an easy
:04:44. > :04:47.thing for a Chief Constable to do so I assume you are very worridd? I am
:04:48. > :04:51.very concerned and I actually think it is only right that as a leader of
:04:52. > :04:54.Bedfordshire Police that I need to be out there, visible in thd
:04:55. > :05:00.community, to address concerns that people have. It was just a few
:05:01. > :05:06.months ago that Leon Briggs died in police custody. Do you think that
:05:07. > :05:10.you have lost the trust and confidence of the community that you
:05:11. > :05:16.are talking about? I think the community are concerned. Thdre is no
:05:17. > :05:19.doubt about that. What I wotld say is that from my meetings with
:05:20. > :05:22.community leaders, from my work with the local authority partners and
:05:23. > :05:26.councillors, they do have trust and confidence in us but that h`s been
:05:27. > :05:30.dented. There is no doubt about that. Dented by the Leon Brhggs case
:05:31. > :05:37.and this case and my job is to make sure that we restore that. Ht seems
:05:38. > :05:41.the longer everyone has to wait for answers, the more difficult it is
:05:42. > :05:44.going to be for you to restore that. Can you give us any idea how long
:05:45. > :05:49.this investigation may take? I want it to be as quick as it can possibly
:05:50. > :06:00.be but to be a fair and just investigation. The Chief Constable
:06:01. > :06:03.talking to me earlier. International flights from Cambridge Airport are
:06:04. > :06:06.to be scrapped after only shx months. The airport say 12,000
:06:07. > :06:10.passengers have flown to Paris, Amsterdam, Milan and Geneva. But the
:06:11. > :06:16.airline, Etihad Regional, h`s decided the routes will be `xed
:06:17. > :06:22.Mike Cartwright reports. A new airline and new routes. Welcomed in
:06:23. > :06:26.with an arch of water. Only six months on, flights will finhsh.
:06:27. > :06:31.Passenger numbers are said to be drying up. Certainly, those people
:06:32. > :06:35.that have flown through herd have really enjoyed the experience and
:06:36. > :06:39.want to come back again. Thdre are people out there that probably don't
:06:40. > :06:42.know that they want or need to fly from Cambridge Airport and one can
:06:43. > :06:54.always market the airport more strongly, so there is a varhety of
:06:55. > :06:58.factors. Nick says he still waiting for a refund of more than 400 lines
:06:59. > :07:02.from Darwin after his return flight from Paris was cancelled last
:07:03. > :07:07.October. There were eight pdople on the flight going out and me and my
:07:08. > :07:15.wife coming back. That is not viable. In September last ydar,
:07:16. > :07:21.Darwin began flights to Amsterdam, Paris, Geneva and Milan. Two months
:07:22. > :07:27.on, with new partners, it w`s rebranded Etihad Regional, but at
:07:28. > :07:30.the end of March, routes will cease. The airport had boasted it was now
:07:31. > :07:33.truly worldwide and you could arrive here, check in and not handle your
:07:34. > :07:40.luggage until arriving at destinations in the Far East,
:07:41. > :07:44.Australia or India. But rumours of a lack of demand have rumbled on and
:07:45. > :07:51.only recently the airport ctt its routes to Paris and Milan. Cambridge
:07:52. > :07:55.needs to decide what aviation markets it can develop and H think
:07:56. > :08:00.they can continue to target scheduled airlines but try to offer
:08:01. > :08:04.something which is very special It was a rave moved to come to
:08:05. > :08:09.Cambridge but I think they have struggled because of the proximity
:08:10. > :08:15.of Stansted Airport and Luton and easyJet services from those
:08:16. > :08:18.airports. Etihad says the stspension is temporary and a new routd from ``
:08:19. > :08:22.to Verona will start soon. Ht says to Verona will start soon. Ht says
:08:23. > :08:27.passenger numbers are good but in just over one fortnight, thd airport
:08:28. > :08:33.will become a little less international. A third of the
:08:34. > :08:42.region's wheat harvest could soon be stored in a building located between
:08:43. > :08:45.Kettering and Corby. As you can imagine, it's pretty vast and has
:08:46. > :08:48.taken several years to plan and construct. Today, for the fhrst
:08:49. > :08:51.time, our cameras were allowed inside. It cost ?12 million to
:08:52. > :08:55.build, can store over 90,000 tonnes of food and in the future whll be
:08:56. > :09:01.capable of processing over 30% of the region's wheat.
:09:02. > :09:09.It is a sight to behold. Thousands of tonnes of grain stored under one
:09:10. > :09:13.roof. This is the new grain store at Corby and farmers act as cooperative
:09:14. > :09:17.to sell their crop to local flour illers and breakfast cereal
:09:18. > :09:22.producers. `` millers. In the past, farmers would load up the lorry on
:09:23. > :09:26.the farm and say goodbye to it and they were at the mercy of the buyer
:09:27. > :09:29.as to whether or not the lo`d was accepted or rejected. With Camgrain,
:09:30. > :09:33.rejected loads are a thing of the past and so it puts the farler in
:09:34. > :09:36.control of their marketing. And the weather and the commodity m`rkets,
:09:37. > :09:39.all that volatility is brought under control. There are four Camgrain
:09:40. > :09:42.sites across East Anglia and the Midlands. Processing half a million
:09:43. > :09:47.tonnes of grain. Sieves remove stalks and dirt and the grahns and
:09:48. > :09:50.then separated according to size. `` are then. Finally, the wheat is
:09:51. > :09:53.cleaned and polished, ready for sale. Northamptonshire uses more
:09:54. > :09:58.what than any other county hn England. Because we have flour
:09:59. > :10:05.millers, we have Weetabix, so it makes a lot of sense to store it
:10:06. > :10:09.here. So we can deliver within 0 miles and we can guarantee wheat to
:10:10. > :10:12.them 24 hours a day. Camgrahn started 30 years ago in
:10:13. > :10:19.Cambridgeshire with 50 farmdrs. Now there are 500 and with this new site
:10:20. > :10:22.in Corby, the business is expanding. The site is built to grow. Ht is 50
:10:23. > :10:28.acres here with fantastic access onto the new Corby relief road. And
:10:29. > :10:31.the site will grow and develop into something much larger. Across the
:10:32. > :10:34.world and particularly in Etrope, farmers working together in large
:10:35. > :10:40.co`ops is completely the norm and probably the UK is the slowdst to
:10:41. > :10:47.pick this up. But the idea has now caught on and the business hs going
:10:48. > :10:51.from strength to strength. Firefighters in Hertfordshire spent
:10:52. > :10:56.the night tackling a fire at a paper waste recycling plant on thd
:10:57. > :10:59.outskirts of Hitchin. Four crews from across the county were sent to
:11:00. > :11:05.the plant, where almost 40% of the recycled waste was alight. The fire
:11:06. > :11:08.is now under control but thd building is still smouldering. We
:11:09. > :11:12.have got a large area of recycled material, much of that is flammable,
:11:13. > :11:16.or combustible, I should sax. Our biggest issues were the fird
:11:17. > :11:20.spreading. There is a degred of fire damage, obviously, from the fire and
:11:21. > :11:26.most of the warehouse is smoke damaged, heavily smoke damaged. The
:11:27. > :11:32.value of exports from Northamptonshire has more than
:11:33. > :11:36.doubled in the space of a ydar. In February 2013 the county exported
:11:37. > :11:40.just over ?20 million of goods. Last month that figure was nearlx ?4
:11:41. > :11:45.million. The figures have bden released by the Northamptonshire
:11:46. > :11:47.Chamber of Commerce. It says the results prove the county's
:11:48. > :11:54.manufacturing sector is helping to lead the country out of recdssion.
:11:55. > :11:58.The news follows a report l`st week which named Northampton as the best
:11:59. > :12:02.place in the UK to do busindss. Those are your top stories tonight.
:12:03. > :12:11.Now it's over to Susie and David for the rest of
:12:12. > :12:17.Also coming up: All the goals from last night 's
:12:18. > :12:22.football. We meet a cocker spaniel from Essex,
:12:23. > :12:27.a true friend for life and ` Crufts champion.
:12:28. > :12:30.A film premiere was held today at a hospital in Essex. It tells one
:12:31. > :12:34.woman's story after being dhagnosed with a gene that brings a hhgh risk
:12:35. > :12:37.of developing breast cancer. Charlotte Pitock, a young mother
:12:38. > :12:40.from Great Dunmow, decided to go ahead with surgery. Charlotte's Film
:12:41. > :12:44.follows her progress through a double mastectomy and breast
:12:45. > :12:50.reconstruction. This special report from Kim Riley. Please be aware that
:12:51. > :12:52.this shows images of her body after the surgery.
:12:53. > :12:55.At the Saint Andrews Centre at Broomfield Hospital, the first
:12:56. > :12:58.official showing of a very honest film. When Charlotte Pitock, 31 was
:12:59. > :13:05.diagnosed with a certain gene, it gave her an 85% chance of ddveloping
:13:06. > :13:10.breast cancer. The film records the highs and lows, from consultation to
:13:11. > :13:14.surgery, to recovery. I'm coming round from the operation and I have
:13:15. > :13:20.been awake for about three hours now. The next few days are going to
:13:21. > :13:25.be the hardest, certainly until day three I expect it to be quite hard.
:13:26. > :13:30.But now, I am through and I am feeling OK at the moment. Are you
:13:31. > :13:34.absolutely certain you made the right decision about going `head
:13:35. > :13:38.with the operation? Definitdly. My risk has been reduced from 85% to
:13:39. > :13:41.just 6% chance of getting breast`cancer and I no longdr have
:13:42. > :13:49.that breast cancer cloud hanging over me. I am completely frde of
:13:50. > :13:53.that risk and it is liberathng, it really is. How much of a part did
:13:54. > :13:57.your three lovely children play in your decision? I think they are the
:13:58. > :14:01.driving factor behind it. I want to see my three children grow tp and I
:14:02. > :14:07.do not want to have to be h`ving breast cancer treatment throughout
:14:08. > :14:12.their lives. I want to be wdll and fit. I want to be around for them.
:14:13. > :14:17.Charlotte was under the card of a leading breast reconstruction
:14:18. > :14:21.surgeon. We tend to use the woman's own tissue, whenever available. In
:14:22. > :14:25.most instances, we take tissue from the tummy and some from the thigh
:14:26. > :14:28.and we take this tissue with its own blood supply and take it to the
:14:29. > :14:36.site, either the left or right breast, and place it within the bag
:14:37. > :14:39.of skin. We connect the blood vessels from the tummy or the thigh
:14:40. > :14:45.to the local blood vessels `nd that is how we reconstruct a bre`st.
:14:46. > :14:49.Throughout the filming, the medical team praised Charlotte's br`very.
:14:50. > :14:52.When people came to visit, hf they wanted to look, I let them. My
:14:53. > :14:59.husband did not look on the first day but he felt ready on thd second
:15:00. > :15:04.day and he was amazed. People don't expect them to look the way they do.
:15:05. > :15:09.That boosts your confidence and you just feel they are your bre`sts and
:15:10. > :15:12.that they look good as your breasts. Nine months on from the operation,
:15:13. > :15:25.Charlotte is running the London Marathon in a month's time hn aid of
:15:26. > :15:32.the Breast Cancer Campaign. You can see her film on the breast
:15:33. > :15:36.reconstruction awareness website. It's not often you can say this but
:15:37. > :15:40.as the season comes towards its close, all our football teals still
:15:41. > :15:43.have something to play for ` either promotion or avoiding releg`tion.
:15:44. > :15:48.And there were some key gamds in the football league last night, as our
:15:49. > :15:51.sports editor Jonathan Park reports. Whether or not Ipswich make the
:15:52. > :15:54.play`offs, it's been a season of improvement for McCarthy's side
:15:55. > :15:56.Last night's 1`0 win at Yeovil leaves them four points off the top
:15:57. > :15:59.six, Christophe Berra got the goal. six, Christophe Berra
:16:00. > :16:02.A crucial victory with rivals Reading and Brighton also whnning.
:16:03. > :16:05.It was Town's first away success this year. Just about deserved,
:16:06. > :16:10.according to McCarthy, who lust have been nervy as Yeovil's Kieffer Moore
:16:11. > :16:12.rattled the woodwork late on. Infuriating inconsistency is
:16:13. > :16:15.damaging Peterborough's attdmpt to bounce straight back to the
:16:16. > :16:20.Championship. Manager Darren Ferguson even says without him, they
:16:21. > :16:24.would have been relegated. Two goals gave Posh an uphill task
:16:25. > :16:27.at London Road. City then played most of the game with ten mdn.
:16:28. > :16:30.Ferguson's side did put one back through Michael Bostwick but a third
:16:31. > :16:34.defeat in four games leaves them clinging onto the final plax`off
:16:35. > :16:38.place in League One. On their coat`tails, MK Dons have
:16:39. > :16:41.unearthed a real gem in Deld Alli. The teenager scored a hat`trick in
:16:42. > :16:44.MK Dons' 3`0 win at Notts County, leaving them three points bdhind
:16:45. > :16:46.Posh, with the cites meeting this weekend.
:16:47. > :16:49.Meanwhile, at the bottom, Stevenage's dramatic late epualiser
:16:50. > :16:56.against Preston puts that shde out of the relegation zone. Just a few
:16:57. > :17:01.weeks ago, they were nine points adrift of safety. Now, they are
:17:02. > :17:04.unbeaten in five. Colchester are hovering just above
:17:05. > :17:07.the chop zone. They lost 2`0 at home to Bradford.
:17:08. > :17:10.In League Two, each game is like a cup final for Northampton, who have
:17:11. > :17:14.improved greatly under Chris Wilder. Last night's 1`0 win over
:17:15. > :17:18.relegation rivals Exeter improves the Cobblers' hopes of stayhng up.
:17:19. > :17:22.Ian Morris scored the winner. They are unbeaten in five.
:17:23. > :17:24.As Southend battled back from 2`0 down at fellow promotion rivals
:17:25. > :17:27.Scunthorpe, Egan, with a fantastic volley from distance, and a
:17:28. > :17:31.goalkeeping mistake gifted Blues a point. They hang on to the last
:17:32. > :17:40.play`off spot. It's a happy birthday today to the
:17:41. > :17:44.World Wide Web. It's been whth us for 25 years. And what a difference
:17:45. > :17:47.it has made to our lives. Yes, the latest figures show more
:17:48. > :17:51.than eight in ten homes now have access to the internet and lore than
:17:52. > :17:55.seven out of ten people havd bought goods or services over the hnternet.
:17:56. > :17:59.To do all that, of course, xou need a computer and that's where these
:18:00. > :18:02.two come in. Let's introducd you to school teacher Jez Thompson and
:18:03. > :18:13.pupil Oli Jordan. Tell us what you do with computers. You are both very
:18:14. > :18:15.handy. You have been nominated in a national competition for an
:18:16. > :18:22.after`school club that you run. Can you explain what you do? We take
:18:23. > :18:26.computers from local businesses and former partners, the University of
:18:27. > :18:31.East Anglia, and other businesses around the area and we get them in
:18:32. > :18:36.and we refurbish them. When I say we, the students learn how to
:18:37. > :18:40.refurbish them, and we build new computers and then either t`ke them
:18:41. > :18:46.home or they get them out to clubs that ask for them. Olly, how
:18:47. > :18:50.difficult is it, you know, to most people it is wizardry what goes on
:18:51. > :18:54.underneath that keyboard... Maybe you could fix our ones at the BBC!
:18:55. > :18:59.When you take it off, where you quite baffled by what was under
:19:00. > :19:04.there? Yes. The first time H took apart a computer, we were told to
:19:05. > :19:10.dig it apart and to search what all of the past it on the Internet and
:19:11. > :19:14.label them all. `` parts did. After doing that in understanding how they
:19:15. > :19:17.were working, it suddenly started to make sense how to put them back
:19:18. > :19:22.together and how they all fht together and work around each other.
:19:23. > :19:28.And how many of you in this club? At the moment, after school on Tuesday,
:19:29. > :19:31.we get 40 people roughly turning up to this after`school club. @nd you
:19:32. > :19:37.have refurbished quite a lot of these? Over 100? You have actually

:20:47. > :20:52.the new computer curriculum that has come into all schools from
:20:53. > :20:57.September. They are learning about competing, how to build computers,
:20:58. > :21:00.how to write software. Therd are no longer learning the ICT bashcs of

:21:37. > :21:40.dogs' show Crufts. Anyone with a dog knows how strong
:21:41. > :21:45.that bond can be. With me and Molly, it is to the maximum, reallx. She is
:21:46. > :21:52.my best friend, my companion and the light of my life. Molly is happy,
:21:53. > :21:56.energetic, was a lot of it's catchy. We have had her since she w`s eight
:21:57. > :22:01.weeks old and she keeps me going, keep the fighting and I cannot
:22:02. > :22:05.digests or absorb anything. I am fed into my bloodstream through a line
:22:06. > :22:09.my heart. I have just been put on the end of life register, which is
:22:10. > :22:13.for people but usually only have up to two years love. It makes you live
:22:14. > :22:18.fast when you're dying. You make the most of every moment. When H am
:22:19. > :22:23.having a bad day, and believe me I have had many, many hard, h`rd it is
:22:24. > :22:27.that we do not think we can get through, you see that face `nd she
:22:28. > :22:32.looks into my eyes and you see her tail wagging and did not my heart.
:22:33. > :22:36.You just think, I have got to live because she needs me and my family.
:22:37. > :22:42.Especially her. She is mine and I am hers. We just live for each other.
:22:43. > :22:48.She will pull my socks off, she will pull my jacket sleeves off `nd get
:22:49. > :22:52.my jacket. She fixes helper finally. `` fetches help if I needed. She
:22:53. > :22:58.will let somebody know that I am in distress or I need them. Shd also
:22:59. > :23:01.gives me confidence, I suppose. She gives me a will to live. Shd has
:23:02. > :23:06.opened up so many doors. Because I wanted her to be recognised, I have
:23:07. > :23:10.been entering things. That hs what led us to crops. Crufts was my
:23:11. > :23:15.bucket list because my life is limited. I never thought I would get
:23:16. > :23:21.there. What a Crufts we havd had. What a first graph! We have ended up
:23:22. > :23:22.winning a competition. The winner is Lizzie and Molly.
:23:23. > :23:31.CHEERING Well done! That was just... I was
:23:32. > :23:36.shocked but absolutely amazdd and so happy. Absolutely elated or stop you
:23:37. > :23:42.never know how much they can change your life until you get one. If
:23:43. > :23:45.anybody out there is down and depressed and can look after job,

:23:58. > :23:58.`` gorgeous dog. Beatable start to the day whth
:23:59. > :24:07.proper sunshine. Some of you may have woken tp to
:24:08. > :24:11.mist and fog, some sunshine. This was the extent of it. A large chunk
:24:12. > :24:14.of cloud lingered through the morning and as long as lunchtime for
:24:15. > :24:19.some part of the region. Th`t had an impact on the temperatures. Let s
:24:20. > :24:22.review last night. There was a touch of frost places. Some parts of the
:24:23. > :24:27.region got below freezing. Xou can see the swing of temperaturds.
:24:28. > :24:33.Climbing by 17 degrees throtgh the day! Some parts of the region had
:24:34. > :24:39.been mist, like Bedford, for those temperatures did not get as high.
:24:40. > :24:44.For tonight, or might spread `` widespread mist and fog, likely to
:24:45. > :24:49.be more extensive, affecting many parts of the region. If you do have
:24:50. > :24:57.any travel plans late tonight, you may want to there that in mhnd.
:24:58. > :25:04.Also, with some might wince, we could record some like tempdratures.

:25:26. > :25:30.it is likely to linger. This will have an impact on the temperatures.
:25:31. > :25:34.The inland, any sunshine brdaking out will allow temperatures to climb
:25:35. > :25:39.to 15 Celsius, I have even higher. The winds are light and varhable
:25:40. > :25:42.wind. `` perhaps even higher. Fine for the afternoon but the chance of

:25:50. > :25:52.heading south. That will introduce more cloud and it will generally be
:25:53. > :25:58.a bit cooler over the weekend. Essentially, the weather is fairly
:25:59. > :26:01.settled. Friday is a warm d`y. A bit more cloud and cooler by Saturday.
:26:02. > :26:05.Sunshine coming in for Sund`y but wait a breeze so we should be free
