connection with a murdering Belfast back in the 1970s. That is all from | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
the Good evening and welcome to Look | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
East on the day that Cambridge, Northampton and Luton get news of | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
big investment. Money that will affect patients, power and | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
passengers. We'll bring you all the details and analysis. | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
And we'll be here later in the programme as the Labour Party launch | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
their election campaign in Cambridge. What does Ed Miliband | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
have to say about Europe and the East? | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
And 106 years' young ` the Land Girls providing the some of the last | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
living memories of the Great War. Well, it's been a day of major | :00:31. | :00:46. | |
investment for the region with three big business announcements. First, | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
Papworth Hospital WILL be relocating to the Addenbrooke's site in | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
Cambridge ` a move that secures its future at the heart of medical | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
science. In engineering, work has started today on a brand new factory | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
for Cosworth boosting the already significant motor industry in | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
Northamptonshire. And Luton Airport has been given the Government green | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
light to expand with 5,000 more jobs, an improved terminal and road | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
system all delivering increased capacity. We'll have special reports | :01:13. | :01:21. | |
on all three stories for you tonight. But let's start with Luton | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
where our reporter, Neil Bradford, is now. Neil. | :01:25. | :01:33. | |
Yes, Luton airport is in its 76th year. It began as a base for | :01:34. | :01:42. | |
aircraft manufacturing and is now the UK's fifth largest airport. Last | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
month was its busiest in its history. The expansion plans hope to | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
double the number of passengers over the next ten years and the airport | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
says it is a much`needed boost to the local upon a `` economy. Those | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
opposed state will bring more noise and congestion. | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
9 million extra passengers and 45,000 extra flights with 5000 new | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
jobs. The promise of Luton airport expansion. The vision moved a step | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
closer to reality today after the government gave its approval. We | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
will be able to increase the size of infrastructure and we think it will | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
take ten years. It also means we will improve the quality of the | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
passenger experience. We will have an airport we can really be proud | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
of. Campaign groups feel they have been ignored. Those living close to | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
the flight path say they will bear the brunt of increased noise. We won | :02:45. | :02:54. | |
a problem tree of Beds `` promontory. They land coming in over | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
towns and villages in Hertfordshire so Luton is owned by Hertfordshire | :03:01. | :03:11. | |
but Beds gets the pain. The chief executive of Beds chamber of | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
commerce says those opposed are being short`sighted. There have been | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
lots of objectives `` objections and all that was taken into | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
consideration. The government have made the right decision in my view. | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
The creation of jobs and the investment to help the local economy | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
can only be very, very good news. We are delighted with the outcome. | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
Construction is expected to take place in three stages. Airport | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
managers hoped the first will start by the end of the year. | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
It does seem like Master of the reaction today `` much of the | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
reaction today has been positive. But those opposed should not be | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
underestimated. I have been speaking to a lot of schools today who are | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
underneath the flight path and they are concerned an increase in flights | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
will mean more disruption for them. As it is, they sometimes have to | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
stop lessons and they have to keep windows shut during the summer. | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
Campaigners say they will continue the fight because these plans have | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
not been given planning permission just yet. | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
Thanks Neil. Now, after a long`running campaign and much | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
speculation over its future, Papworth Hospital is on the move. By | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
2017 it will be based at the Biomedical Campus in Cambridge next | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
to Addenbrooke's, creating a hub of medical expertise. The Government | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
has pledged ?165 million for the move. In a moment, we'll hear from | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
the hospital's chairman, Professor John Wallwork, about what it means | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
for patients. First this report from Ben Bland. | :04:50. | :05:00. | |
This is the sort of hospital you get for ?165 million. A far cry from | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
Papworth humble beginnings as a colony for two by killer doses | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
patients. They carried out the first successful heart transplant in the | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
UK in 1979 but now it is time to look for the future. It wasn't | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
designed for 21st`century medicine and whilst this sat `` staff are | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
fantastic, one needs to be closer to other hospital facilities so | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
patients get full back`up 24 hours a day. | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
There was a mixed response in the village. Very sad because it is a | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
wonderful, therapeutic place. It is not a concrete jungle. In a way | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
there will be less cars that the main road and more room for traffic | :05:47. | :05:54. | |
to come through the village. I work out there so mixed feelings as to | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
whether our jobs will go. When built, this site will be Papworth 's | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
future home near Addenbrooke's Hospital. For patients, it means | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
single rooms, been close to specialist services and more | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
capacity to treat more patients. There was talk of Papworth moving to | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
Peterborough to help the City Hospital that is struggling to meet | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
payments on its new building. But money is also being borrowed to | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
build the new Papworth and borrowed `` paid back over 30 years. A lot of | :06:32. | :06:38. | |
changes had taken place in the way that PFI works to make sure it is | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
value for money and it is value for money because of the world leading | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
facility it will create in Cambridge. This move has been talked | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
about for over ten years. Building work could begin next year with the | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
hospital in its new home by 2017. Professor John Wallwork is Papworth | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
Hospital's chairman and joins me now. We had some of the benefits. `` | :07:00. | :07:11. | |
heard about. What will this mean for patients? Essentially, our patients | :07:12. | :07:22. | |
will get tomorrow's medicine today. There are incredible research and | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
education facilities alongside the hospital. There will be new | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
inventions that there aren't elsewhere and there will be an | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
opportunity to have diseases treated. When I started, we operate | :07:36. | :07:48. | |
on younger people but now we operate on people in their 90s. We need to | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
continue to have closeness to all these other specialties. What about | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
the staff? You are a former surgeon so what would it have meant to you | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
if you had the opportunity to work in an environment like this? That is | :08:05. | :08:12. | |
complex because a hospital or any organisation is the people in it and | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
not just the shell. But you now need to be close to other forms of | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
medicine, basic science and engineering and it gives you the | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
opportunity to develop new ideas and do things faster. The problem with | :08:25. | :08:32. | |
the hospital is you have to be careful it doesn't become a factory. | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
It is important to have a place that is both serving patients but also | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
doing innovation. It will be a busy campus on the edge of a busy city. | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
Patients might think, am I going to get `` have a nightmare getting | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
there and parking. That is not my world, although I remember where `` | :08:59. | :09:06. | |
when I was director of transportation, we all found that. | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
That is something the city and county have to deal with but I am | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
not in that world. In the 1980s, you performed Britain's first heart/ | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
lung transplant. I am wondering what you think maybe the next first from | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
the site? If I knew what it was in terms of care I would probably be | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
doing it. Many people don't know that within Europe there is no | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
cardiovascular research centre that is the top ten in the world and we | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
have an opportunity in Cambridge to be in the top ten in the world for | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
the whole of Europe and the whole of the UK. Thank you. From medicine to | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
the motor industry. Work has begun today on a new ?20 | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
million factory for Cosworth Engineering in Northamptonshire. It | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
will create 70 new jobs as well as 200 more in the supply chain. The | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
plant will make and assemble engine parts for high performance cars. | :10:08. | :10:15. | |
Mike Cartwright has this report. In Northampton, building work has | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
begun on the site of cost worth's new engine factory. Once finished, | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
the company say it will treble their output and they say the investment | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
is a commitment to sell `` stay in the town. We have 50 years here and | :10:32. | :10:39. | |
the local talent pool is part of our history and our DNA. We want to | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
build a long`standing foundation and this dramatically improves our | :10:45. | :10:53. | |
ability to do so. Engines for car racing and Formula one and rallying | :10:54. | :11:00. | |
and high`performance cars... Nearly 300 employed here. Many are | :11:01. | :11:08. | |
apprentices. You get an earning and an education at the same time. It is | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
important we have this new factory because it brings in more people and | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
it keeps the company moving forward. More than half the engines built in | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
the factory will be for export and within four years they could be | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
powering cars like this. They already do the electrics and now | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
they could provide the engine also. Cosworth Engineering say they will | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
make tens of thousands car components extra every year. With | :11:39. | :11:47. | |
the emergence of the Formula one team and Silverstone and it puts a | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
focal point here for being a centre in the world for all of that. The | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
supply chain that feeds of that is immense. The industry is worth over | :11:58. | :12:04. | |
?2 billion to the local economy. This year is their 50th. The company | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
is great and Ed Miliband has been in Cambridge | :12:08. | :12:38. | |
today to launch his party's European Election campaign. We'll be hearing | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
from the Labour leader in just a moment. We go to the polls in two | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
weeks, and most of the region is in the eastern constituency. There are | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
seven seats up for grabs. As you can see, last time round Labour came | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
joint bottom of the poll. Our political correspondent Andrew | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
Sinclair was at today's launch. Hello! The Labour leader is enjoying | :12:58. | :13:13. | |
himself at the moment. This afternoon, a leisurely walkabout in | :13:14. | :13:15. | |
the city of Cambridge. Plenty of people wanted to meet him. All the | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
comments were friendly, if a little insensitive! I've met your brother! | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
And there were plenty of photo opportunities. Earlier, in someone's | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
home, a chance to talk about his new policy to crack down on landlords | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
who charge high rents. Critics point out that Labour is talking a lot | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
about the cost of living, even though it isn't a European issue. | :13:39. | :13:45. | |
But Labour is a pro`European party. Its one MEP for the east of England | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
has been on the doorsteps, talking about the benefits of European | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
membership. I'm proud of the investment. Many millions. Money for | :13:57. | :14:08. | |
disabled people, women going back to work, others to improve their job | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
prospects. That doesn't get talked about but it's what I do as a Labour | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
MEP. The last Euro elections were in 2009. Labour was very unpopular. But | :14:20. | :14:32. | |
since then Labour has rebuilt its base in towns like Great Yarmouth, | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
Norwich and Cambridge. But could its success be dented by this lot? UKIP | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
has, on the whole, been taking supporters from the Conservatives. | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
But increasingly, Labour campaigners are telling me they're noticing the | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
anti`immigration and establishment message is playing well in poor, | :14:48. | :14:55. | |
working class areas. That's probably why Mr Miliband has started to talk | :14:56. | :15:03. | |
tough about immigration. He needs to do well in the east and he doesn't | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
want his success derailed by another party. | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
I spoke to Ed Miliband in the last hour. I put that point to him that | :15:15. | :15:22. | |
the party's thunder was being stolen by UKIP. We are fighting a very | :15:23. | :15:32. | |
positive campaign about what I think is the biggest issue a country | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
faces, the cost of living crisis. We are talking about freezing energy | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
bills and making a difference about what I think is a massive issue. We | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
are seeing something very important to date which is that if you are a | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
tenant in the private sector, we are going after agents for charging new | :15:53. | :15:59. | |
fees. `` you fees. I think that shows that Labour is the one party | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
in these elections talking about the biggest issues. You do talk about | :16:04. | :16:11. | |
the cost of living, it is important, but these are the European | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
elections. We are not hearing much about Europe. Is that because you | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
know that your view on Europe is not very popular? I think it is very | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
relevant to the cost of living crisis. For example, people have to | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
make sure that when they come to Britain, we do not find that migrant | :16:33. | :16:40. | |
workers here are exploited. That is why we have clear proposals on | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
agency work and were we enforce the minimum wage. `` that we enforce. We | :16:44. | :16:51. | |
want to tackle the living crisis here at home but also in the | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
European Union. Europe, the local elections, it is central to our | :16:58. | :17:05. | |
campaign. UKIP is speaking about Europe. At the top of the agenda. At | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
the top of the voters agenda as well. 56,000 people came from Europe | :17:10. | :17:16. | |
here since 2010. There are deep concerns about the infrastructure | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
not being able to cope. We are not hearing about that. I have talked | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
about that a lot since I became the leader of the Labour Party. I have | :17:26. | :17:35. | |
said that I want to set a clear proposals. Many people are concerned | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
that when people come here and they find that the wages are undercut, we | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
are doing everything we can to stop that happening. I do not propose | :17:45. | :17:51. | |
withdrawing from the European Union. The muscle many companies in this | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
region who rely on it. It would cost jobs. This is a key region for | :17:57. | :18:07. | |
Labour. You should be doing better in the polls at the moment if you | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
are going to secure the seat you need? Norwich North for example. You | :18:12. | :18:20. | |
are not actually addressing the issues that are resonating with the | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
public. I do not agree but we will see what happens on me the 22nd and | :18:27. | :18:34. | |
the general election. `` May the 22nd. Childcare is a massive issue | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
and Labour is saying that 25 hours of free no silly education is | :18:41. | :18:53. | |
important. `` free education. That is a clear proposal. Zero hours | :18:54. | :19:00. | |
contract is another massive issue. It is labour that is saying if you | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
are doing regular hours you should get a regular contract. But members | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
of your own party are saying that you are not resonating with the | :19:11. | :19:19. | |
voters. I don't agree with that. When I was in Cambridge today I have | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
had lots of people coming up to me and saying the key with the agenda | :19:24. | :19:31. | |
we are putting forward. `` they agree with the agenda. These are so | :19:32. | :19:40. | |
important to the country. Thank you. And on tomorrow night's programme, | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
Stewart will be talking to the UKIP leader Nigel Farage. | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
Let me take you back to 1908. The Penny Post began, Henry Ford | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
produced the first Model T and Hoover started making the vacuum | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
cleaner. It was also the year that Cynthia Cook and Eileen Knevett were | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
born. They're in the same nursing home in Essex and are among the last | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
remaining people in the country to have lived through two World Wars. | :20:09. | :20:10. | |
Today they celebrated their 106th birthdays. | :20:11. | :20:18. | |
Two people from the same care home celebrating 106 years is remarkable. | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
So are they. They have seen at all, from the First World War to the | :20:23. | :20:31. | |
World Wide Web. Happy birthday. As a child, Eileen witnessed Zetland is | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
on fire over London as the crew led to the crew led to their deaths. | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
Moon landings, coronations of the Queen, John F. Kennedy. She likes | :20:43. | :20:56. | |
bread and drippings. You used to have ten food that was out of date! | :20:57. | :21:04. | |
`` tinned food. How she has reached 106 is beyond all of us. They are | :21:05. | :21:11. | |
looked after by this care company in Clapton. Cynthia did not come here | :21:12. | :21:20. | |
until she was 100. She has got four children, 12 grandchildren, 16 | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
great`grandchildren and to keep great`grandchildren. One more on the | :21:25. | :21:35. | |
way. Her and her friend were going out with two men and the other one | :21:36. | :21:42. | |
was going out with my father. They just happen to swap over! `` | :21:43. | :21:55. | |
happened. People like Eileen and Cynthia are asked how the public so | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
long. For Cynthia it is Guinness, Cherie and young men! For Eileen, | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
all dancing and the occasional glass of champagne. `` ball dancing. `` | :22:06. | :22:14. | |
sherry. I wonder whether the Fire Brigade | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
was on stand`by! 212 candles! Time now for the weather. We have | :22:18. | :22:35. | |
seen a lot of cloud around today. Also some showers. Were they have | :22:36. | :22:44. | |
fallen, the showers, they merged together. The has been some heavy | :22:45. | :22:52. | |
rain in Western counties. Still a few dotted around. Dry weather in | :22:53. | :22:59. | |
between. They are gradually going to move southwards. A lot of the night | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
is looking dry. Coming mistake with some cloud around. `` Turning misty. | :23:05. | :23:12. | |
Temperatures are not expected to drop below seven or eight IDs. `` | :23:13. | :23:20. | |
degrees. We have got high pressure building from the North. Luton model | :23:21. | :23:28. | |
