hear views on immigration. That's all from us. | :00:00. | :00:18. | |
Good evening. A triple murddrer from Stevenage has been awarded lore than | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
?800 after some of his personal items were lost or broken dtring a | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
prison transfer. Kevan Thakrar was convicted of gunning down three | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
people in Bishop's Stortford in 2007. The Prison Officers | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
Association say the award is an insult. | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
He is serving three life sentences. He has a history of violencd in | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
prison. Kevan Thakrar has spent time in several jails. He was tr`nsferred | :00:42. | :00:56. | |
to Milton Keynes. During thhs transfer, a number of his | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
possessions were damaged or lost. He was awarded compensation totalling | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
?815. One of his victims saxs it is an insult. It is quite shocking It | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
is quite hurtful. I haven't received an apology. I haven't received | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
compensation. I have had to move back into with my parents to get | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
support. The fact that my lhfe is in tatters and he is sitting there with | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
a smile on his face, getting this publicity and he has ?800 of | :01:22. | :01:32. | |
taxpayers' money in his bank. Kevan Thakrar was initially offerdd the | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
compensation when he moved to prison in Milton Keynes. He refused and | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
took the case to the Small Claims Court. After winning his case, the | :01:42. | :01:54. | |
Prison Service were ordered to pay him ?814. Kevan Thakrar was jailed | :01:55. | :02:03. | |
for the murder of three people in Bishop's Stortford in 2007. The | :02:04. | :02:16. | |
reaction of most people in the town was one of amazement. It is very | :02:17. | :02:37. | |
wrong, isn't it? He shouldn't be given that compensation. He | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
committed those murders. Much better things money could go on th`n | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
compensating somebody like that No, he shouldn't get the money. No way. | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
Well, I don't think he should get all of it. He should get about 20. | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
Kevan Thakrar is still protdsting his innocence. He claims he is the | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
victim of a miscarriage of justice. For the prison officers who suffered | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
at his hands, the only injustice is this ruling. Demand for emergency | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
food parcels has almost tripled in this region in the last year. The | :03:06. | :03:28. | |
figures come from the Trussdll Trust which now runs 40 food banks across | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
the East. It says it's helpdd more than 90,000 adults and children in | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
the last 12 months. The previous year, the figure was nearer 30, 00. | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
This is the first time Jim has resorted to a food bank. After he | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
became ill, he has struggled to pay for everything after his government | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
benefits stopped. You have to be given a voucher to use a food bank. | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
Jim was sent by his doctor. You struggle paying your household bills | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
and buying food. I would rather have electric and water in the house I | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
spend most of my money on that. It leaves me nothing with which to buy | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
food. Sometimes, I borrow money to get milk and bread. You said you | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
have always worked. Did you expect to be in this position? Nevdr ever. | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
I have been trying to get worse for nearly two years. `` work for nearly | :04:13. | :04:23. | |
two years. It is very hard. Very, very hard. Clients get an elergency | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
supply of donated food to l`st three days. People come here for lany | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
reasons. Redundancy or an unexpected bill. Demand has almost tripled in | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
the region in the last year. The various factors are fuelling demand, | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
but increasingly, the welfare reforms the effect of those, and | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
particularly people not been sanctioned. `` not being sanctioned. | :04:43. | :04:55. | |
That is when payments are stopped, if you don't attend intervidws or | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
training. The government saxs there was no evidence of a link bdtween | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
welfare reforms and the use of food banks. Becky Bosman family have | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
spent ?1 a day each on this food to last five days. We love being | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
hospitable. We love inviting people to have food with others or shirty | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
with as. `` we love inviting people to have food with those all share | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
tea with others. When you h`ve so little, you stop doing that. You | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
have got to think about getting through the week. We didn't have | :05:31. | :05:39. | |
that choice. It is a tempor`ry hardship for this family for a good | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
cause. But donated food support thousands of people in need in our | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
region. Cambridge Airport h`s won a big new contract to fly daily | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
services to Dublin and Amstdrdam. It's part of a plan to build on its | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
international status. But only last month, flights to other European | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
cities were halted because of a lack of demand. That will not be an | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
issue, says the new airline. It is a different schedule, | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
different type of aircraft. Passengers can fly to many different | :06:03. | :06:16. | |
destinations. Meanwhile, road connections in the | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
East were given a boost this morning with the A11 Elvedon bypass in | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
Suffolk finally opened. It's only one way in each direction, `nd there | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
is a speed limit of 40 miles an hour. It's a major milestond in the | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
A11 dualling project. Before we go there's just thme to | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
tell you that Late Kick Off is on at 11.30 tonight, here on BBC One, with | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
James Burridge. It will not be particularly cold. | :06:37. | :06:51. | |
Lows of around eight Celsius. We have got hardly any wind at all | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
These light winds mean mist and fog tomorrow may take a while to clear. | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
Once it has gone, we are looking at a largely dry day with hopefully | :07:02. | :07:08. | |
some sunshine coming through. Temperatures up to around 14 | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
Celsius, which is 59 Fahrenheit Largely dry through the aftdrnoon | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
and into the evening. A few isolated showers. I will leave you whth the | :07:18. | :07:26. | |
Outlook. Wednesday looks sililar. If we catch a shower, it could be on | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
the heavy side. On Thursday, showers will be heavier and | :07:33. | :07:33. | |
Thursday and then it will turn much cooler as we go into the bank | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
holiday weekend. Hello, I am going to throw some | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
numbers at you first of all. 22 Celsius was the temperature recorded | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
at Aviemore making it the warmest day of the year so far. At the other | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
end of the country, this cloud has produced a lot of heavy and thundery | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
downpours. A lot of rain falling in one hour at Hurn airport. There are | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
some showers around the Bristol Channel. There will be so increasing | :08:06. | :08:18. | |
amounts of mist, fog and low cloud. Tomorrow starts grade, Misty and | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
murky in most places. We will see the Sun breaking through in Cumbria | :08:23. | :08:34. | |
and the North. You might get the odd shower in western Northern Ireland | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
in the afternoon but with more sunshine across the country | :08:39. | :08:39. | |
tomorrow, it should | :08:40. | :08:40. |
