The appeal from Luton's Muslim community as police launch `

:00:13.:00:15.

campaign to stop potential fighters heading to Syria. The policd have to

:00:16.:00:22.

have the support of the comlunity, and there has got to be a

:00:23.:00:30.

multi`agency approach. An elderly patient is locked in the loo for

:00:31.:00:34.

more than an hour. The hosphtal says sorry. We Preparing for 26 larathons

in 26 days to raise money to help troubled families through football.

:00:44.:00:46.

`` And make, do and mend, the largely forgotten skill of sewing is

:00:47.:01:00.

making a comeback. The challenge to stop young Muslim

:01:01.:01:04.

men living in our region from going to Syria to fight. Today as part of

:01:05.:01:10.

the national campaign, membdrs of the police and community gathered to

:01:11.:01:13.

hear about the risks facing those who may be planning to go to war.

:01:14.:01:19.

Tonight, community leaders `re very clear that if the campaign hs to

:01:20.:01:23.

succeed locally, the police have to work with them.

:01:24.:01:31.

This food Parcell will help keep a family in Syria ally for a lonth. It

:01:32.:01:39.

is one of thousands being donated by generous members of the public. This

:01:40.:01:43.

is the way to have the people of Syria, say UK authorities who are

:01:44.:01:47.

trying to stop men going ovdr to join in the fighting against the

:01:48.:01:53.

regime. These harrowing images are fuelling a big rise in the number of

:01:54.:01:58.

men doing just that. This charity agrees. What they are doing is

:01:59.:02:04.

wrong. They are saying that they do not need men to fight. What they

:02:05.:02:07.

need is food to feed their families. By doing this work, you

:02:08.:02:14.

are for filling the religiots obligation and helping people where

:02:15.:02:19.

they need help. Luton was the focus of the national counter terrorism

:02:20.:02:25.

campaign to encourage Muslil women to be more involved in deterring

:02:26.:02:29.

their husbands and sons frol going to war. These men see their children

:02:30.:02:37.

far more than many of the f`milies, said they will see this mord

:02:38.:02:44.

effectively than their fathdrs. The conflict in Syria is becoming an

:02:45.:02:48.

increasingly complex and worrying situation. Increasingly, yotng man

:02:49.:02:51.

from here are going there and running the risk of death, kidnap

:02:52.:02:55.

and returning here radicalised, which in turn is eight thre`ts to

:02:56.:03:01.

homeland security. In recent weeks, two and from Luton were arrdsted on

:03:02.:03:06.

their return from Syria. It is an issue not restricted to Luton. It

:03:07.:03:11.

can affect families from across the region. Luton has the highest

:03:12.:03:18.

Islamic community. Fund raising for Syria permeates across the whole of

:03:19.:03:23.

the Eastern region and the whole of the UK. The women in the colmunity,

:03:24.:03:27.

we want them to come forward and talk to the police and their

:03:28.:03:30.

partners if they have any concerns about family members. Authorities

:03:31.:03:35.

say the most effective way to help the people in Syria is by

:03:36.:03:37.

contributing to registered charities.

:03:38.:03:46.

Earlier I spoke to a chairpdrson and the Luton Council of faith, and they

:03:47.:03:49.

asked him if he thinks therd are young Muslim men in the town who are

:03:50.:03:53.

prepared to go out to Syria to fight. I do not think there is

:03:54.:03:59.

evidence as far as we are concerned. But we have to bd

:04:00.:04:10.

careful. Do you think this campaign that has been launched todax has the

:04:11.:04:16.

potential to do more harm than good, because it is being fronted by

:04:17.:04:21.

the police, and that has thd potential to send out the wrong

:04:22.:04:25.

message. I think you have a point. We need to be careful, we nded to be

:04:26.:04:31.

sensitive. Obviously, we nedd to ensure that there is peace `nd

:04:32.:04:37.

harmony in our communities, but I think the idea of engaging directly

:04:38.:04:42.

with the community is a good idea, and Muslim families need to be

:04:43.:04:47.

empowered and supported. Wh`t do you think about the approach I've

:04:48.:04:54.

specifically asking Muslim women to inform or give information to the

:04:55.:05:00.

police about family members? Is that a constructive and positive

:05:01.:05:07.

approach? No mother or wife would want their loved one to get in

:05:08.:05:18.

harm's way, and if approachdd appropriately and properly, there is

:05:19.:05:22.

something in it, and it is ` question of sensitivity and being

:05:23.:05:30.

appropriate in terms of eng`gement. I think that is necessary. Do you

:05:31.:05:35.

think the police can make that appropriate approach? Should it come

:05:36.:05:42.

much more from the communitx and perhaps people like yourself? I

:05:43.:05:50.

think the golf that a potentially exists or does exist generally, the

:05:51.:05:57.

police and communities, it somehow has to be narrowed, the gap, and

:05:58.:06:03.

there is a great deal of work to be done by all concerned, and the

:06:04.:06:08.

police need to work proactively with communities and community

:06:09.:06:13.

organisations. Three people have been arrested following the death of

:06:14.:06:18.

a man in Peterborough. Officers were called to a flat this morning.

:06:19.:06:29.

From the heart of Peterborotgh, there has been a cordon herd. One

:06:30.:06:34.

witness said an ambulance arrived here at 6:30am in the morning and he

:06:35.:06:39.

then saw a man let away in handcuffs. Three men have bden

:06:40.:06:42.

arrested, and they lived in that flat there. That is where the dead

:06:43.:06:47.

man was found and it is belheved he lived there too. Shopkeepers here

:06:48.:06:51.

say that the men were Polish and lived here for some time. Forensics

:06:52.:06:56.

have been there all day and have been out on the street, and across

:06:57.:07:04.

the street to the cash point at the bank across the road. They have done

:07:05.:07:11.

swabs of DNA to see if it w`s that about it is believed to be was

:07:12.:07:15.

beaten to death. A porous modem will be done `` a parsed modem whll be

:07:16.:07:21.

done that and we will know lore then.

:07:22.:07:25.

And investigation is being done to find out how I'd utterly patient got

:07:26.:07:35.

locked into a hospital laboratory for over an hour. She says she is

:07:36.:07:39.

still haunted by her recent stay in hospital. The 87`year`old from

:07:40.:07:44.

Northampton is back at home being cared for by her family. Whhle being

:07:45.:07:51.

treated at a general hospit`l for a fractured pelvis, she was

:07:52.:07:54.

accidentally locked in the toilet. It took staff more than an hour to

:07:55.:07:59.

realise she was his thing. H was scared. I've thought, I am never

:08:00.:08:05.

going to get out of here. I was ever so nervous. Yeah. Unable to walk,

:08:06.:08:14.

she pulled the emergency cord. But it was not working. She had to crawl

:08:15.:08:19.

to open the door. I'm managdd to crawl to the door and unlocked the

:08:20.:08:27.

door and open it and they crawled and crawled and crawled. No`one

:08:28.:08:32.

answered. Northampton Gener`l Hospital says it is sorry for her

:08:33.:08:39.

ordeal, and it has apologisdd for the distress caused. It has a full

:08:40.:08:43.

investigation is" read out to ensure it doesn't happen again. Her

:08:44.:08:51.

daughter once the hospital to take urgent action. In a hospital, you

:08:52.:08:55.

expect the patience to be s`fe all stopped the whole point of people

:08:56.:08:59.

eating admitted to hospital is for 24`hour care, not to be takdn to the

:09:00.:09:03.

bathroom and to be left werd misplaced. Her family say hdr ordeal

:09:04.:09:14.

has not hurt confidence. Thdy are now determined to give her the best

:09:15.:09:28.

care they can at home. Tanks called anaerobic digester 's,

:09:29.:09:36.

with plans to be built, and our reporter has been to a farm which

:09:37.:09:40.

already has one to see how ht works. Traditional farming. Or is ht? Seeds

:09:41.:09:48.

are being sewn on this farm, but when they are harvested, many will

:09:49.:09:52.

be used for energy rather than food. This is last year's crop, which we

:09:53.:09:58.

have harvested back in October. Instead of buying electricity, they

:09:59.:10:04.

are using this to create thdir own. This is the chopped up corn from

:10:05.:10:09.

last year's crop, and it has quite a sweet smell from it. It gets

:10:10.:10:14.

transported into these tanks, where the digestion takes place, `nd after

:10:15.:10:19.

60 days, it becomes gas, fertilizer, and ultimately,

:10:20.:10:26.

electricity. It is sent to 3000 houses and little port. We `lso use

:10:27.:10:29.

the electricity ourselves to run the plant and as a by`product wd use it

:10:30.:10:33.

to heat the 24 tunnels for the mushrooms. A plant like this costs

:10:34.:10:40.

around ?10 million to set up. Supporters say it is a greener

:10:41.:10:44.

source of energy. It also mdans that mushrooms can be grown locally

:10:45.:10:47.

rather than relying on imports, and they say it helps farmers kdep costs

:10:48.:10:53.

down. Instead of buying electricity comic they can even sell sole back

:10:54.:10:58.

to the grade. The owners of this farmland want to build their own

:10:59.:11:01.

digester, it's similar to the one I have seen, but it has left people

:11:02.:11:05.

here locally worried about how imposing the tanks would look in the

:11:06.:11:08.

potential for extra noise and smells, and some people are worried

:11:09.:11:13.

about the loss of good agricultural land being used to grow crops for

:11:14.:11:18.

energy rather than food. It is a debate that is only just beginning.

:11:19.:11:26.

It was announced today that a civic reception is going to be held for

:11:27.:11:30.

the Luton football team on Sunday, May the 4th. It follows to blend

:11:31.:11:37.

scenes last weekend as fans supported the return of the football

:11:38.:11:40.

after a rogue return to the Football League after five years. Thdre will

:11:41.:11:44.

be an open top bus parade that will end in St. George's swear. Those are

:11:45.:11:48.

your top stories tonight. like Colchester or smaller places.

:11:49.:12:02.

So getting that right is important. Still to come, a marathon challenge

:12:03.:12:07.

by one club director to bring forward all into the communhty. And

:12:08.:12:11.

tips from the best, now that sowing is back in fashion.

:12:12.:12:18.

It is often said that this hs the most Eurosceptic region in the

:12:19.:12:21.

country. So it is perhaps strprising to learn that the Liberal Ddmocrats,

:12:22.:12:24.

the most Euro`friendly partx, chose this region for the launch of their

:12:25.:12:30.

national Euro election camp`ign The European elections are on M`y 2 nd

:12:31.:12:34.

and most of the region is in the Eastern constituency. There are

:12:35.:12:38.

seven seats up for grabs and currently the Conservatives hold the

:12:39.:12:41.

most. But the UK Independence Party is putting everyone under pressure

:12:42.:12:44.

and there have been predicthons that the Lib Dems won't hold thehr seat

:12:45.:12:48.

this time around. Andrew Sinclair was at the party's launch in Essex.

:12:49.:12:56.

They hope it is not an omen. The national campaign launched delayed

:12:57.:13:02.

by 35 minutes because the Ddputy Prime Minister's train was held up

:13:03.:13:05.

by an accident. Whilst they waited a car with dispatch to pick hhm up and

:13:06.:13:10.

bring him to Colchester. Nick Clegg has decided to be unashamedly

:13:11.:13:16.

pro`European. Britain is stronger, safer and richer because of Europe,

:13:17.:13:22.

he said. In these elections there is a lot at stake. Later at thd local

:13:23.:13:26.

football club he told reporters why even in this region it is worth

:13:27.:13:29.

putting the positive case for Europe. When millions of jobs depend

:13:30.:13:38.

on our continued existence hn the European union it is worth fighting

:13:39.:13:43.

for. If you look at the recdnt election results for your p`rty

:13:44.:13:45.

around here, people are not listening to your message. The

:13:46.:13:50.

message may be controversial with some but that does not mean we

:13:51.:13:56.

should stop saying you do not win an argument unless you're prep`red to

:13:57.:13:59.

have it. Andrew Duff has bedn the MEP for the region for many years.

:14:00.:14:08.

He is a committed federalist. It is true I will not get everyond to

:14:09.:14:13.

support me but there is a solid minority of around 30% of the

:14:14.:14:24.

British electorate who insist that Britain is a European place. But the

:14:25.:14:29.

party has lost a lot of traditional supporters, something evident during

:14:30.:14:34.

a question and answer session. How can you justify being in government

:14:35.:14:38.

whilst you have almost conthnually lied to the electorate regarding

:14:39.:14:45.

University tuition fees. It is losing us a lot of money. This is

:14:46.:14:49.

why the Lib Dems may struggle in these elections. With his p`rty

:14:50.:14:54.

barely polling double figurds there have been dire predictions that Nick

:14:55.:14:58.

Clegg could lose all his MEPs in this election. But the Lib Dems

:14:59.:15:02.

believe there is a strong pro`European audience even hn this

:15:03.:15:05.

region and they are now tryhng to win them over.

:15:06.:15:09.

Cambridge United's director of football Jez George is about to

:15:10.:15:12.

embark on the challenge of ` lifetime. He's going to walk 26

:15:13.:15:15.

marathons in 26 days, taking in every single Premier League ground.

:15:16.:15:21.

It's to raise money for the Community Trust, which helps local

:15:22.:15:25.

young people. In a moment wd will speak to Jez. But first a look at

:15:26.:15:34.

where the money goes. Are you ready? Once a week they meet to fine

:15:35.:15:41.

tune their skills, catch up with friends and enjoy a run. Thhs is one

:15:42.:15:47.

disability session laid on by the community trust. There is enjoyment

:15:48.:15:53.

and team bonding and the socialising side of it is massive as well. It

:15:54.:15:58.

gets them out of their day centres and doing something they re`lly

:15:59.:16:01.

enjoy. Every professional foot will team in the country runs sole

:16:02.:16:06.

community programme. But Calbridge United do not receive funding to

:16:07.:16:11.

help pay for things like pictures or coaches. Have you had fun today ?

:16:12.:16:22.

We were together as a team. We are out in the fresh air and with

:16:23.:16:30.

friends. To help people jealous George will zigzag across the

:16:31.:16:36.

country to try to raise ?200,00 . `` Jeff George. We can go out `nd do

:16:37.:16:45.

more projects in the communhty and I think everyone will see the

:16:46.:16:49.

benefits. Jez George is in Cambridge now. You did not think of rtnning

:16:50.:17:02.

them then? ! Just a gentle stroll! I thought football clubs put loney

:17:03.:17:05.

into the community, why do xou need to raise this money? I think a club

:17:06.:17:11.

of eyelevel, we have worked hard to develop our youth structure and we

:17:12.:17:14.

do not get funding for the @cademy or scholarship system but wd punch

:17:15.:17:18.

well above our weight compared to the size of the club. We want to do

:17:19.:17:23.

something similar with the community scheme and we have a huge l`ck of

:17:24.:17:27.

funding. We want to be proactive making an impact on the comlunity.

:17:28.:17:32.

And projects such as the ond that you showed, it is really hulbling to

:17:33.:17:38.

see that. It is the vision that the club has, to play a big part in the

:17:39.:17:42.

community, but to do that it needs funding. You were starting hn the

:17:43.:17:51.

North East? Starting at Newcastle. The team play at Gateshead on

:17:52.:17:57.

Saturday and then Peter Beardsley is going to kick us off at Newcastle

:17:58.:18:04.

United on Sunday. Then we h`ve a big gala fundraising dinner in

:18:05.:18:08.

Cambridge. And I will visit all 18 in the league clubs in Engl`nd in

:18:09.:18:14.

the meantime. The weekend bdfore that Cambridge United could actually

:18:15.:18:18.

be promoted. By the time yot go to knowledge, Norwich may have been

:18:19.:18:25.

relegated. Well I hope that they stay up and I hope we are promoted

:18:26.:18:28.

because with the status of being in the football league, it does help us

:18:29.:18:32.

in terms of funding with our youth development programme. We h`ve

:18:33.:18:40.

struggled outside of it. We have done some fundraising efforts in the

:18:41.:18:45.

past and now this is somethhng positive that we can do to benefit

:18:46.:18:49.

the whole of the community hn Cambridge. And what training have

:18:50.:18:58.

you done? Just as many miles as I can around fundraising and visiting

:18:59.:19:04.

a lot of people. I have got in a few miles and I just have the whll to

:19:05.:19:07.

succeed and to finish. Knowhng so many people are behind us and so

:19:08.:19:11.

many local companies have stpported us. I will get through thosd 26 days

:19:12.:19:16.

and make a big difference, hopefully.

:19:17.:19:20.

Experts believe that by 2050, some of the key tasks in farming could be

:19:21.:19:24.

carried out by robots. Anything from checking crops in the field, to

:19:25.:19:28.

pruning plants in a vineyard. "Farmbots" may be the futurd, but at

:19:29.:19:31.

the moment the industry needs people. The average age of ` farm

:19:32.:19:37.

worker is 55, so it needs to recruit. It reckons it will need to

:19:38.:19:42.

find 60,000 people in this country over the next ten years. So a

:19:43.:19:46.

special event in Suffolk today is very important.

:19:47.:19:54.

They come by the coachload to Trinity Park near Ipswich. 4000

:19:55.:19:58.

youngsters aged seven to nine years old. Their desks give way to

:19:59.:20:04.

discovery zones in this anntal Farmer country fair. Everything from

:20:05.:20:13.

the majestic and captivating two men dressed as cows. Surveys show that

:20:14.:20:22.

one in five of us think that a parsnip rose on trees. But this is

:20:23.:20:27.

about engaging with youngstdrs to get them to think about farling and

:20:28.:20:30.

food production as a possible career. The reality is this industry

:20:31.:20:36.

desperately needs new recruhts. This is the first step on the ro`d and we

:20:37.:20:42.

can interact with them and `s it do what to live and work in thd

:20:43.:20:46.

countryside. We can show thdm what a lovely place it is to work. I love

:20:47.:20:51.

it and would not go back to anything else. I spoke to one school teacher

:20:52.:21:01.

a few years ago and she was impressed. Agriculture has `lways

:21:02.:21:06.

been at the heart of the economy in East Anglia. The combined f`rming,

:21:07.:21:15.

and food sector is worth solething like ?400 million in Suffolk. It is

:21:16.:21:20.

surprising what they do not know. They need to learn and we hope some

:21:21.:21:27.

of them will become involved in agriculture. It is fun to sde how

:21:28.:21:35.

they use stuff. I learnt about the combined harvester. At their age it

:21:36.:21:40.

is probably too early to know what career they fancy but the organisers

:21:41.:21:45.

will be helping that perhaps they have helped to sell a few sdeds for

:21:46.:21:50.

the future. We all know that a big TV sdries can

:21:51.:21:54.

make a lot of difference to almost anything. Strictly did it for

:21:55.:21:57.

dancing. Mary Berry did it for cakes. And now the Great Brhtish

:21:58.:22:03.

Sewing Bee is doing it for sewing. Today in Essex a new sewing school

:22:04.:22:06.

opened, hoping to capitalisd on those re`discovering the skhll or

:22:07.:22:10.

taking it up for the first time A finalist from the TV progralme has

:22:11.:22:16.

joined the team as a tutor. Her name is Chinelo Barry. She is

:22:17.:22:25.

selling superstar. Today Chhnelo opened the sewing school run by two

:22:26.:22:30.

sisters who hope to capitalhse on the new craze to make do and mend.

:22:31.:22:38.

It has sparked a new interest in selling and with fantastic

:22:39.:22:44.

programmes like the Great British Sewing Bee, people just want to get

:22:45.:22:49.

back to selling their own clothes and having the satisfaction of

:22:50.:22:54.

making something to wear th`t no one else will be walking around in.

:22:55.:22:58.

Chinelo Ridge the final of the hit television series the Great British

:22:59.:23:06.

Sewing Bee. You should be proud of yourself. It is a lot of work in a

:23:07.:23:12.

short space of time. She has not looked back since and is now the

:23:13.:23:18.

setting up own clothing range. We are doing mainly the spoke `t the

:23:19.:23:23.

moment and eventually will grow into supplying two boutiques and

:23:24.:23:28.

hopefully the bigger shops. One thing I could not help noticing at

:23:29.:23:32.

the launch today, the sewers were all women. I am feeling a lhttle

:23:33.:23:39.

uncomfortable. There are not many blokes here. But apparently there is

:23:40.:23:47.
