Hello and welcome to That's | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Hello and welcome to Tuesday's Look East. | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
Still Inadequate ` children's services in Northamptonshird admit | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
they're struggling to improve a year on from a damning Ofsted report | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
Dying on the waiting list ` the dilemma faced by patients | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
For five years, and I could end up more Ilban though, I don't think it | :00:24. | :00:46. | |
is worth it. `` more ill. I'll be here later in | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
tapping into the region's bhotech expertise. | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
With superbugs becoming mord resistant than ever, we're | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
at the Cambridge company le`ding the way in antibiotics rese`rch | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
And after a day to remember with Le Tour, we examine the imp`ct. | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
Children's services in Northamptonshire have had more | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
than 12 months to improve, but today the service admits it s | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
It's been a year since Ofstdd?s damning verdict | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
which found the service "consistently poor" with st`ff at | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
"tipping point" and "systemhc failures" across the board. | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
The council insists improvelents are under way, | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
but the most difficult challenge is simply finding enough peopld who | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
So the county has now set up its own academy to recruit and retahn staff. | :01:22. | :01:31. | |
Northamptonshire's children's services, one of just 20 | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
The worst possible rating Ofsted can give. | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
I think it was a shock to some people, the degree | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
I think it was known, but the depth was a bit | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
In March last year, Ofsted said Northamptonshire was Inadeqtate in | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
Then just five months later, a second Inadequate report for | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
Then on the 9th of October, the results of a special case rdview | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
into the death of a four`wedk`old Northamptonshire girl, saying social | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
The announcement of ?12 million to try and improve services. | :02:16. | :02:25. | |
But the real problem here at County Hall is not the shortage of cash, it | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
Up to half of the authority's social workers are temporary agencx staff, | :02:28. | :02:35. | |
so the authority is desperate to recruit and retain more perlanent | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
It's very own social worker training programme. | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
When we recruit newly qualified social workers, they have gone to | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
university and got their degree we are putting in an academy where they | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
will be supported in their first year, so that they have a hhghly | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
supportive environment in which to learn their profession | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
Northamptonshire currently has 82 social workers, | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
but needs to recruit around 85 to reduce its reliance on agency staff, | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
Well, we are carrying out a recruhtment | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
campaign, but the problem is, so all of our neighbouring counties. | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
We are all searching for good quality social workers | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
To give an indication of thd scale of the recruitment problem, | :03:24. | :03:31. | |
Ofsted is due to carry out `nother inspection here later this xear and | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
the council says that if it manages to move from an Inadequate rating to | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
a Requires Improvement rating, then even that would be considered | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
But the key question is despite these obvious probldms, | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
I am happy that we are making progress and that I feel quhte | :03:48. | :04:01. | |
confident that children in Northamptonshire are safd. | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
Stewart joins us now. Why are they finding it so difficult to hmprove? | :04:05. | :04:13. | |
Northamptonshire finds itself in a vicious circle, it needs more social | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
workers to help improve its service, but while it is branded as | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
Inadequate, it is difficult to get staff in, so until it can do that, | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
it is relying on temporary `gency staff, but that in itself c`n cause | :04:29. | :04:37. | |
problems. They are more expdnsive than permanent staff and it can lead | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
to the risk of a lack of consistency in that service. For exampld, a | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
different caseworkers over ` period of time and | :04:48. | :04:55. | |
things are improving and thd training Academy will help, but | :04:56. | :05:10. | |
authority gets a Good rating. Thanks very much. | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
19`year`old Mark Lewis ` who has already pleaded guilty to | :05:15. | :05:15. | |
robbery and murder ` told police he "flipped", that he'd | :05:16. | :05:16. | |
Jamie McMahon was found dead in St Giles' churchyard last October. | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
Jamie McMahon, someone alwaxs cheerful, the court was told, | :05:20. | :05:28. | |
who made people feel better when they were around him. | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
After a night out, these were his last moments alive. | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
Soon after, in this churchy`rd, he was robbed, punched | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
and repeatedly kicked and left for dead. | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
By two men on a criminal venture, the court was told. | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
Mark Lewis, aged 19, who has pleaded guilty to mtrder | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
and robbery, and Michael Fr`ncis, aged 33, now on trial. | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
The defence team for Michael Francis said that Mark Lewis had adlitted he | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
carried out the killings during interviews at this prison | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
He told officers, "I flipped. I'd never felt that angry bdfore." | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
"I kicked him so hard, I felt my toe shatter." | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
When the anger comes, he told officers, he couldn't control it. | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
"I couldn't stop it," he sahd, "it was like a blackout." | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
But the prosecution say, no, both men are guilty | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
On the night Jamie McMahon lost his life, Michael Francis phcked up | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
his wallet and put it in his pocket, the prosecution said. | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
The two men then swapped co`ts to put police off their trahl. | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
They didn't need to run, the jury was told, because | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
Jamie McMahon was unconsciots and on his way to being dead. | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
They were in it together, prosecutors said. | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
Minutes after the murder, together, they dumped Jamie McMahon's wallet. | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
The next day, together, selling his iPhone to | :06:51. | :06:58. | |
a drug dealer for ?10 and four days later, the two men together | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
dumping the clothes they wore that night. | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
CCTV after Jamie McMahon's lurder placed Michael Francis | :07:04. | :07:04. | |
Two men spending their spoils, the money they'd stolen, | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
In court, Michael Francis h`s denied murder, manslaughter and robbery. | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
Jamie McMahon, the jury was told, was a man in the wrong placd | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
The planned east`west rail line linking Oxford to Milton Kexnes and | :07:18. | :07:29. | |
Bedford, could boost the regional economy by over ?70 million a year. | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
This latest figure ` arrived at by independent experts ` | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
Our reporter Waseem Mirza is at Swanbourne station just south | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
Well, Amelia, I am standing near what used to be a fully working | :07:44. | :08:01. | |
railway station, believe it or not. Welcome to a very wet swan born It | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
sits on the disused Vista to Bletchley line and it was closed in | :08:08. | :08:18. | |
the late 1960s but plans ard afoot to reopen it in | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
years. Today, a brand`new assessment of this east`west rail projdct says | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
the area could be in line to `` for boost the economy of around | :08:28. | :08:36. | |
?70 million and today, the LP for Milton Keynes welcomed the news | :08:37. | :08:38. | |
We have always had good rail connections running north to south, | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
but east`west has never been quite as good and this project will really | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
put us at a crossroads on the national rail network and be | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
incredibly helpful for economic growth, for relieving congestion | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
So it is a very welcome and worthwhile project. | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
Well, disused sections of track like this one here could be repl`ced with | :08:54. | :09:02. | |
new electrified lines, which open up the roots to passengers and | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
freight has been confirmed already `s a | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
major priority for out today further strengthens the | :09:13. | :09:19. | |
business case. in the south`west and in thd south | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
of England, like Winchester, Southampton and Bournemouth, and it | :09:23. | :09:23. | |
just reinforces the argument that was actually put forward by, of all | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
people, Dr Richard Beeching, back in the '60s, because he saw this | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
route as having enormous potential. Well, building that so`calldd | :09:29. | :09:45. | |
"missing link" between Bedford and Cambridge will be expensive and a | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
very long process, possibly years and even a decade before tr`ins are | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
up and running on that parthcular route. But now, politicians here are | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
adamant that this stretch of the first trains operating here in five | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
years. Thank you. | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
It's been revealed that mord than 100 people in the eastern rdgion | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
died last year because of a shortage of organ donors and more th`n 1 500 | :10:14. | :10:15. | |
The latest figures have been released to mark National Transplant | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
Week and they show that in Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire, | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
43 people died last year because of a shortage of organs ` and 2 1 | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
In Northamptonshire, 10 people died, 148 are on the waiting list. | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
And in Cambridgeshire, there were 12 deaths | :10:32. | :10:33. | |
Anna Todd has been to meet one woman who's been living with a kidney | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
When Glyn Huskisson went on the transplant register for | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
a kidney six years ago, a m`tch was quickly found in her cotsin | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
But her diagnosis of hepatitis C means the new kidney may only last | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
five years and Glyn could become more hll. | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
I try to stay optimistic, I try not to think about it, but it is always | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
there, you know, niggling away, or if you can't sleep at night. | :11:08. | :11:15. | |
I just hope I can get the drugs and then go on | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
The wait for a transplant c`n be a roller`coaster ride. | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
Three people in the UK die dach day waiting for a new organ. | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
Even if a match is found for the patient, it is not a done deal. | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
We know that we get false alarms were often the organ doesn't turn | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
We know that we get false alarms where often the organ doesn't turn | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
out to be suitable for donation and with an unfortunately h`d to | :11:41. | :11:49. | |
out to be suitable for donation and we unfortunately have to | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
tell the patient they are not going to go through the surgery | :11:53. | :11:54. | |
I think the impact of that is absolutely tremendous. | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
Death rates are highest for those on the waiting list for a new heart. | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
Although more donors are coling forward, record numbers last year, | :12:02. | :12:03. | |
with 40 heart transplant opdrations at Papworth Hospital. | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
Maggie got a new heart here 12 years ago, and fitter than ever, she now | :12:07. | :12:08. | |
I didn't have a quality`of`life before my transplant. | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
I couldn't walk up the road or anything like that, so I | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
So having my transplant has given me a completely new life | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
and such a quality of life `nd I have grabbed it with both h`nds | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
More lives could be saved if families agreed to donatd their | :12:30. | :12:31. | |
People are urged to spell ott their wishes early on beford | :12:32. | :12:40. | |
Today, protesters spoke out about plans to outsource services all | :12:41. | :13:09. | |
people. It may happen in September and campaigners say it could be a | :13:10. | :13:17. | |
mistake. The younger people coming through today will not get the | :13:18. | :13:25. | |
and attention that has led ts to the age that we are, which we are | :13:26. | :13:35. | |
there are fundamental flaws and there has been a | :13:36. | :13:47. | |
have had during the public consultation. | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
The unit has a total of 62 inpatient beds on two floors. | :13:52. | :13:53. | |
It's part of a major redevelopment by the West Herts Trust. | :13:54. | :14:01. | |
now it is over to steward for the rest of the programme. | :14:02. | :14:14. | |
There is more to come on thd east, including an end of term report from | :14:15. | :14:22. | |
Britain's newest Hotel training school. | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
And we can expect changeabld weather conditions through the week. I am | :14:27. | :14:33. | |
here at the end of the programme with all of the details. | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
I am sure you know that hospital superbugs like MRSA are a | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
threat, not just in this cotntry but all over the world. | :14:45. | :14:52. | |
them. It could be that the `nswer will be | :14:53. | :15:02. | |
fight back. Superbugs are a growing | :15:03. | :15:13. | |
lives. In some countries around the world key antibiotics no longer work | :15:14. | :15:22. | |
25,000 people die every year from drug infections. | :15:23. | :15:30. | |
They are developing antibiotic technology | :15:31. | :15:37. | |
?1.6 million grant. The technology will fight hospital | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
looking at those that affect patients in intensive care tnits. | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
There are many multidrug resistant organisms in intensive care units | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
and hospitals which badly nded new antibiotics. The set of | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
antimicrobial resistance is a big concern. The Prime Minister | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
launched a global review of the crisis. We are in danger of going | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
back to the dark ages of to see infections that were | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
treatable not be treatable. The pharmaceutical industry has not been | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
developing new classes antibiotics so we need to fhx that | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
market failure and create some incentive. A new global report says | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
people in every part of the world antibiotics. It means that when | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
people have on chemotherapy and become | :16:30. | :16:36. | |
immunocompromised they are `t much higher risk for competitions `` | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
complications from infections. Antibiotics where a litigiots | :16:41. | :16:48. | |
discovery and the cost of ddveloping new ones is so high that colpanies | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
are pulling out of research. ones with lower overheads could | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
provide the answer. breakthrough the future of xou | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
manage it could be bleak. return to the 1930s, a time when if | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
you got pneumonia, for example, would undergo a crisis and xou would | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
either survive or die to carry out trials on humans in a | :17:13. | :17:20. | |
couple are being asked to bring it back to | :17:21. | :17:22. | |
Britain soon. It's reckoned a million people turned out to watch | :17:23. | :17:24. | |
it when it started in Cambrhdge and passed through Essex yesterday. The | :17:25. | :17:26. | |
big question now will there be a Yesterday 200 cyclists left | :17:27. | :17:46. | |
Cambridge for London. Today, just two riders prepare for the same | :17:47. | :17:53. | |
journey, but Palace is not the final destination. We will recreate the | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
Tour de France stages that happened yesterday, making from Cambridge to | :17:57. | :18:03. | |
London. That is going to be the start of our longer trip, C`mbridge | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
to Hong Kong. Best is a nind`month trip to the far east is perhaps not | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
typical. Tour de France prove that cxcling is | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
no box office. For riders to inspire. It is good to see | :18:18. | :18:26. | |
British felt like you had to be French or | :18:27. | :18:37. | |
German to do well. Demerger is hopes to attract more major events | :18:38. | :18:50. | |
to the county with a surge of are seeing an increase in wdbsite | :18:51. | :19:02. | |
traffic. It is 24 only remainder that thousands of | :19:03. | :19:14. | |
people turned out yesterday. difficult to do, many econolists | :19:15. | :19:24. | |
have tried footing the bill for the totr | :19:25. | :19:38. | |
Cambridge in spend more than we do on cycling | :19:39. | :19:55. | |
infrastructure. it will take some time before the | :19:56. | :20:14. | |
long`term benefits are known. for cyclists, participation | :20:15. | :20:27. | |
continues to grow which is what closer to 100,000 so certainly | :20:28. | :20:42. | |
cycling back to Britain after the rdaction | :20:43. | :21:01. | |
yesterday. How likely is Cambridge had a fantastic d`y, | :21:02. | :21:24. | |
unlike a junior section. A new cycling club | :21:25. | :21:53. | |
has opened in Cambridge. the edge Hotel School. It operates | :21:54. | :22:09. | |
as a normal Hotel 365 functions and conferences and the | :22:10. | :22:28. | |

developing the future leaders of the industry. Those with the | :24:22. | :24:44. | |
the best rooms in the world all under one roof. There is a | :24:45. | :25:17. | |
bed they are making an exact my bed. It | :25:18. | :26:07. | |
south eastwards in the team will be frantically away | :26:08. | :26:43. | |
with the risk of rain developing later. The further north`east | :26:44. | :27:36. | |
like Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire may exclude some of | :27:37. | :27:54. | |
This is the first example we know of of infrared communication. | :27:55. | :28:04. | |
Imagine if you could talk to the animals. | :28:05. | :28:08. | |
Zoologist Lucy Cooke is going to show us how. | :28:09. | :28:13. |
