:00:59. > :01:03.of babies infected by a contaminated batch of liqtid food
:01:04. > :01:07.have been uncovered in this region. Six neonatal units in the E`st of
:01:08. > :01:11.England were sent the infected fluid linked to the death of one baby and
:01:12. > :01:15.the illness of 17 others nationwide. Two babies infected at Addenbrooke's
:01:16. > :01:18.and another two at the Luton and Dunstable Hospital are responding
:01:19. > :01:23.well to antibiotic treatment. And tonight ` another case has been
:01:24. > :01:28.confirmed at Peterborough, Our reporter Mike Cartwright has
:01:29. > :01:34.been following today's developments. He joins us now from the Luton
:01:35. > :01:49.and Dunstable Hospital. The hospital says they are keeping
:01:50. > :01:53.worried parents well`informdd, and that babies are responding well to
:01:54. > :01:56.treatment. But these babies were very sick, they had been born very
:01:57. > :02:01.early, and then they had bedn given contaminated food. Five casds have
:02:02. > :02:08.been confirmed across the rdgion, and more could five fragile,
:02:09. > :02:11.premature babies. Confirmed so far to have been fed contaminatdd food
:02:12. > :02:17.in hospitals in our part of the world. Two of them here at the Luton
:02:18. > :02:21.and Dunstable Hospital. Doctors say they spotted something was wrong
:02:22. > :02:24.almost immediately. The babhes were beginning to develop emperor cheers,
:02:25. > :02:29.they were getting faster he`rt rates, and we are always monitoring
:02:30. > :02:34.our babies for signs of infdction, and we realised very early on that
:02:35. > :02:39.something might be going on, and our blood tests and the other tdsts that
:02:40. > :02:43.we did identify that. At Addenbrooke's, two more babhes are
:02:44. > :02:48.described as stable and improving. Away from here, the case has been
:02:49. > :02:52.confirmed today in Peterborough with two other babies possibly
:02:53. > :02:56.infected in Essex. This is the food for vulnerable or very prem`ture
:02:57. > :03:04.babies. It goes straight into the bloodstream. Somehow the babies here
:03:05. > :03:12.became contaminated juju contamination of the food dtring its
:03:13. > :03:15.manufacture. We have been contacting the company involved in producing
:03:16. > :03:19.this particular substance, to work out what may have gone wrong and
:03:20. > :03:23.what may have caused this contamination. It is a bactdria
:03:24. > :03:29.found widely in the environlent The toxins it produces can causd illness
:03:30. > :03:34.come with symptoms including nausea and vomiting, starting around six
:03:35. > :03:38.hours after infection. Microbiologists say it is a
:03:39. > :03:43.resilient bacteria. Because it is bred in soil and air, we ard coming
:03:44. > :03:48.into contact with it, it max have been airborne and it may have just
:03:49. > :03:53.found its way into this foodstuff. Then, if the sterilisation process,
:03:54. > :03:56.which should get rid of all of the organisms, has somehow faildd, then
:03:57. > :04:01.this organism would have bedn able to perpetuate and increase hn
:04:02. > :04:07.number. Worried parents are being kept informed, say the hosphtals.

:04:12. > :04:16.contaminated food. The comp`ny which made the food says it is
:04:17. > :04:20.investigating what went wrong. All the hospitals are keen to stress
:04:21. > :04:24.that they did not make up the batches, and now, all the foods have
:04:25. > :04:25.been removed. But it seems to more cases at least could be confirmed

:05:09. > :05:12.in it, Mr Harris said he had become angry after Amina repeatedlx soiled
:05:13. > :05:17.herself. Part of it read, I was already in a standing posithon, and
:05:18. > :05:20.the next thing I knew, I had kicked her in the stomach. She had gone
:05:21. > :05:25.backwards and landed on her front about six feet away. I realhsed what
:05:26. > :05:28.I had done and went to pick her up. She was crying at this point and I
:05:29. > :05:32.could tell it had winded her. Mr Foster told the court that `t one

:05:43. > :05:44.When asked by the prosecution who initiated the statement, he replied,

:05:55. > :05:59.initially had maintained th`t Amina's injuries had been m`intained
:06:00. > :06:03.after she fell from the toilet. There was a total silence when it
:06:04. > :06:07.happened, he said. There was this massive slap on the floor as she
:06:08. > :06:12.fell. I heard a massive clunk of the head. Said the little girl's last
:06:13. > :06:18.word was mum before she fell unconscious, and in his words became

:06:23. > :06:26.warned by social services not to leave her daughter with Mr Haries,
:06:27. > :06:30.was not in the house at the time. Mr Harris said he loved Amina `nd

:08:05. > :08:08.of going to prison. His words were along the lines of, I will hang
:08:09. > :08:12.myself. His representative `lso told police that he was suicidal. Sean
:08:13. > :08:16.Brock was assessed by prison officers when he arrived at Wood

:09:58. > :09:58.that they should have a price increase because they are

:10:04. > :10:09.footballers are being paid astronomical amounts, it sedms
:10:10. > :10:12.unfair. We think that nurses, health staff, are working under extreme
:10:13. > :10:18.pressure, they have not had a pay rise for three years, and if the NHS
:10:19. > :10:19.wants good, professional, dddicated staff, then they also deserve a fair

:11:01. > :11:04.been told it is oversubscribed, and instead, he has been allocated a
:11:05. > :11:10.place at school one mile and a half away. Our family only have one car,

:16:13. > :16:16.go at it this afternoon, it is, isn't it? I think it takes ` little
:16:17. > :16:20.bit of getting used to. Givd it a couple of pages and I think you will
:16:21. > :16:23.slip into the rhythm soon enough. Is that a style you will be ushng in

:17:12. > :17:14.even published their first book There were very enthusiastic, and
:17:15. > :17:18.very open about the fact thdy had very little money and experhence.
:17:19. > :17:23.They asked me if I would trtst them. I was certainly delighted that
:17:24. > :17:27.they trusted the book. It jtst all worked out very well in the end
:17:28. > :17:30.Since your award, some very well`known people have come out and
:17:31. > :17:36.said just how fantastic your book is. What has it been like, for you,
:17:37. > :17:42.to hear that being reviewed by some very, very well`known writers? You
:17:43. > :17:46.know, it's been a tremendous vindication of all the years of

:18:56. > :18:58.I've known him since he was about 17.
:18:59. > :19:01.He's been a superstar, really, one of England's greatest b`tsmen
:19:02. > :19:07.Still an incredibly humble bloke, the same as he was when he was 7.
:19:08. > :19:10.The fact that he's so young, and having a benefit year,

:19:16. > :19:23.Over 100 caps, 8000 test runs, breaking records along the way.
:19:24. > :19:27.As a player, and world`class player, I think he's up there with one
:19:28. > :19:29.of the greatest England plaxers already.
:19:30. > :19:32.And he's only halfway through a career, really.
:19:33. > :19:37.I think he'll probably be one of the best players in the world.

:21:04. > :21:07.to play for England through outstanding performances for their
:21:08. > :21:10.county, they will be going to bed tonight and can't wait until next
:21:11. > :21:15.week. That is what you want. I can't wait to see how they go. Ty's game
:21:16. > :21:22.is going to be exciting. Yot've got some exciting players? Everxbody is
:21:23. > :21:26.quite intrigued. Freddie has had five years out, some of thel have
:21:27. > :21:29.had ten or 15 years out. To see them dusting off their colours, ` lot of
:21:30. > :21:37.them are talking about the game of cricket. I can't wait to sed how
:21:38. > :21:41.NASA Hussein does, Andy Flower is, it's great to have a bit of fun and
:21:42. > :21:47.I appreciate them turning up. Just to say, the game starts at seven
:21:48. > :21:49.o'clock and goes on all night. So, if you want to watch top`cl`ss
:21:50. > :21:51.cricket, get yourself down to Chelmsford.
:21:52. > :21:59.You've got nine minutes! 70 years ago today a team of weather
:22:00. > :22:03.forecasters was about to make a decision which changed thd course
:22:04. > :22:06.of history ` and it was madd at In fact, the D`Day landings should
:22:07. > :22:11.have taken place on June 5th, but forecasters in Dunstabld said
:22:12. > :22:14.the weather would be windy `nd the English channel would bd choppy,
:22:15. > :22:17.and managed to persuade Gendral Eisenhower to wait for a gap
:22:18. > :22:20.in the weather the following day. Now a school stands on the site
:22:21. > :22:32.and today they've been markhng The largest invasion the world had
:22:33. > :22:38.ever seen should have happened 7 years ago today. But in Dunstable,
:22:39. > :22:42.D`Day was delayed. It was a top`secret location, at the time.
:22:43. > :22:48.But The Met Office for the dntire British Empire was based in some
:22:49. > :22:54.huts in Bedfordshire. Group Captain cat Max Stagg was in charge. The use
:22:55. > :22:58.of whether to take out an interlude that would be unknown to endmy
:22:59. > :23:05.forces, it would allow us to make use of it, catch those on the other
:23:06. > :23:09.side unaware. He called it right and Eisenhower called at off for 24
:23:10. > :23:13.hours. Dunstable was a weather station in a field. Now it hs the
:23:14. > :23:17.Weatherfield Academy. Nothing remains to highlight the part of
:23:18. > :23:23.this site played in the nathon's history. Today, they open their own
:23:24. > :23:27.weather station. Clearly, the weather was a crucial factor that
:23:28. > :23:31.could win or lose a battle. In this particular case, the decision when
:23:32. > :23:38.to send thousands of troops across the Channel. That forecast, that was
:23:39. > :23:42.made by Stagg and his team, to delay by 24 hours, arguably one of the
:23:43. > :23:45.most important weather forecasts in history. The Met Office movdd to
:23:46. > :23:52.Dunstable in 1940 to escape the bullets and to be close to the code
:23:53. > :23:56.breaking centre at Bletchlex Park. Now 93, Joyce Samuel was working at
:23:57. > :24:00.the Dunstable Weather Centrd at the time. How on earth I got thd job
:24:01. > :24:05.there, I don't know. But I did. There were seven of us, I think
:24:06. > :24:12.from this area. We didn't know anything, really. We were
:24:13. > :24:18.teleprinters. It was all in code. The Met Office was based yet until
:24:19. > :24:26.1961. Yet the headmaster fedls it is still Bedfordshire's best kdep ``
:24:27. > :24:30.kept secret. The Admiralty that stayed there to forecast were
:24:31. > :24:35.adamant that the fifth would be the day to go for. The Met Office,
:24:36. > :24:41.situated here, said, no, thdy were adamant that their data was correct.
:24:42. > :24:48.Heading out to see because of a 24`hour delay due to the we`ther. If
:24:49. > :24:52.the team had got it wrong 70 years ago, it could have been carnage in
:24:53. > :24:55.the Channel. It could have been catastrophic, and life as wd know it
:24:56. > :25:01.today could have been very different.
:25:02. > :25:06.I've learned so much this wdek! I was just thinking that. The weather,
:25:07. > :25:14.please? Quite a nice evening. After a cloudy
:25:15. > :25:18.start, the cloud clearing to the north`east. A fair amount of
:25:19. > :25:21.sunshine. A speckling of fahr weather cloud moving eastwards. Even
:25:22. > :25:25.that is clearing away. As you go through this evening and ovdrnight,
:25:26. > :25:27.clearing away, largely clear skies and the wind is clearing aw`y. As
:25:28. > :25:33.you go through this evening and overnight, clearing away, l`rgely
:25:34. > :25:37.clear skies and the wind easing or 7 degrees in most rural spots.
:25:38. > :25:41.Tomorrow, starting on a chilly note. Lots of sunshine all day long and it
:25:42. > :25:44.will stay dry. Quite a bit of high cloud in the morning, but that will
:25:45. > :25:50.clear northwards. Sunshine getting stronger through the afternoon. The
:25:51. > :25:53.wind will tend to pick up through the day, becoming a moderatd
:25:54. > :25:57.southeasterly by the time wd get to the afternoon. The warmest
:25:58. > :26:02.temperatures will be in the West, 22 degrees, 72 Fahrenheit. Along the
:26:03. > :26:06.coast, it will be somewhat cooler. 17 or 18 degrees. All in all, a
:26:07. > :26:13.decent day. A sunny evening tomorrow. Quite a muggy night as the
:26:14. > :26:19.humidity increases. That's because we are importing humid air from
:26:20. > :26:22.Spain and France. These weather fronts are trying to push in from
:26:23. > :26:24.the Atlantic and it is the interaction between these two things
:26:25. > :26:30.that gives us some headaches for Saturday itself. On the warl front,
:26:31. > :26:34.we could have early thunderstorms in the morning on Saturday, across the
:26:35. > :26:38.west of the region. Then thdre will be a dry spell to the late lorning,
:26:39. > :26:41.early afternoon, with hazy sunshine, before the heat and humiditx
:26:42. > :26:44.culminates in further and storms late in the afternoon and into the
:26:45. > :26:48.evening. These are most likdly across the west of the region, west
:26:49. > :26:54.of the M11. Some of these could be heavy with hail and gusty whnds
:26:55. > :26:59.East of the M11, we will kedp you posted. For Sunday, it clears away
:27:00. > :27:07.to the north and we have high pressure building in. Lots of dry
:27:08. > :27:12.weather around. Lots of dry weather, but still quite humid. This front
:27:13. > :27:15.coming from the south could bring more thundery rain, this tile across
:27:16. > :27:19.the eastern side of the reghon. A lot of uncertainty about th`t at
:27:20. > :27:24.this stage. A fine day, but the risk of some storms on Saturday. Fine and
:27:25. > :27:30.dry on Sunday. Possibly mord thundery downpours on Mondax. Quay
