:00:00. > :00:00.Hello and welcome to Look E`st. In the programme tonight:
:00:00. > :00:07.Dozens of suspected paedophhles arrested in this region.
:00:08. > :00:12.The role of our police in the huge national operathon.
:00:13. > :00:23.Local people policing the school run.
:00:24. > :00:32.In shooting: The first time and the manner hoping to be a record
:00:33. > :00:37.breaker, both going for gold in the Commonwealth Games.
:00:38. > :00:40.And it is access all areas for this dog who has been given the freedom
:00:41. > :00:48.of Wellingborough. First tonight,
:00:49. > :00:50.dozens of suspected paedophhles have been arrested in this region
:00:51. > :00:52.as part of a national operation targeting people who look at
:00:53. > :00:55.indecent images of children online. Local forces have been assisting
:00:56. > :00:58.the National Crime Agency in the campaign
:00:59. > :01:01.which has lasted six months. In a moment we'll hear
:01:02. > :01:05.from the Internet Watch Foundation But first Neil Bradford is `t
:01:06. > :01:24.Bedfordshire Police Headquarters in Of those 14 arrests, only one man
:01:25. > :01:31.has been charged and is awahting trial. The other 13 remain on police
:01:32. > :01:35.bail. These are not easy police investigations. One offender was
:01:36. > :01:42.found to have 150,000 indecdnt images across two laptops. We were
:01:43. > :01:47.given exclusive access to the online investigation unit. At Bedford's
:01:48. > :01:51.Grey Friars police station `nd other computer is about to be exalined. It
:01:52. > :01:56.is a thorough but labour`intensive process. Detectives are searching
:01:57. > :02:01.for images are stored on thd hard drive `` hard drive and also those
:02:02. > :02:06.that have been viewed and ddleted. These are a number of devicds that
:02:07. > :02:11.we have seized. We have iPods and mobile phones as well as colputers.
:02:12. > :02:16.This Detective Inspector he`ds up the online investigation te`m. As
:02:17. > :02:23.part of the national operathon his team have made 14 arrests and seized
:02:24. > :02:28.around 250 devices. It takes an immense amount of time, as xou can
:02:29. > :02:33.imagine, people have a very big hard drives on their machines and some
:02:34. > :02:37.are terabytes and there are hundreds of thousands of images in some
:02:38. > :02:42.cases. The six`month operathon targeted those accessing chhld abuse
:02:43. > :02:56.images online. Nationally 666 people were arrested, among them doctors,
:02:57. > :02:59.teachers and care workers. @s well as 14 in Bedfordshire there were
:03:00. > :03:01.eight in Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire and seven
:03:02. > :03:04.Hertfordshire and 34 across the whole of the Thames Valley region
:03:05. > :03:08.which includes Milton Keynes. North or's Chief con says it is a problem
:03:09. > :03:16.society needs to wake up to. There play and there is a bigger role for
:03:17. > :03:20.service providers for the industry to play, working with us to
:03:21. > :03:24.disrupt, prevent and to stop the Internet being abused in a way that
:03:25. > :03:27.I do not ever believed it w`s envisaged it would be used for. In
:03:28. > :03:31.Bedfordshire five officers `re assigned to the online investigation
:03:32. > :03:37.team with hundreds of thous`nds of images to trawl through so ht is
:03:38. > :03:41.painstaking and emotionally draining. This team of officers say
:03:42. > :03:46.that nothing will determine `` might deter them from tackling thd online
:03:47. > :03:50.paedophiles. Bedfordshire Police say tackling this sort of crime remains
:03:51. > :03:54.a priority and more officers are expected to join the unit shortly.
:03:55. > :03:59.We should never underestimate the impact this kind of work has on the
:04:00. > :04:02.officers involved. They are all offered counselling because of the
:04:03. > :04:03.graphic nature of the images that they see.
:04:04. > :04:05.I'm joined by Susie Hargreaves who's the chief
:04:06. > :04:07.executive of the Internet W`tch Foundation, a charity which takes
:04:08. > :04:23.660 people arrested, dozens in our region, how significant is this
:04:24. > :04:32.It is extremely significant. What we used to seize several years ago was
:04:33. > :04:36.very few images and now we `re talking about millions of ilages.
:04:37. > :04:39.About a year ago we started seeing the Jimmy Savile affected as much as
:04:40. > :04:46.people were known to these images and people werd known
:04:47. > :04:50.to be looking at many millions of images and there was? About what was
:04:51. > :04:56.being done to stop people looking them and today really answers that
:04:57. > :05:00.question so it is a really positive day. Let us talk about the kind of
:05:01. > :05:07.people who were arrested. A couple of things surprise me, the fact that
:05:08. > :05:10.the majority had not had anx contact with the police until this point and
:05:11. > :05:15.we had doctors and teachers, does that surprise you? It doesn't
:05:16. > :05:20.really. This is a crime that crosses over every strata of societx and it
:05:21. > :05:24.could be anybody. Often thex are people in trusted positions because
:05:25. > :05:28.they have access to children. It is really a crime that could affect
:05:29. > :05:33.absolutely anybody. Your organisation has a very difficult
:05:34. > :05:37.job. Not only do you have two keep pace with technology but a lot of
:05:38. > :05:42.these sites are hosted overseas How do you tackle that? Absolutdly. The
:05:43. > :05:47.problem with child sex abusd online is a global problem. We are the most
:05:48. > :05:53.successful country in the world in terms of removing the content in our
:05:54. > :05:56.own country, less than 1% of its content is hosted in the UK and if
:05:57. > :06:00.it is hosted in the UK we c`n remove it in under two hours because we
:06:01. > :06:05.work closely with the UK industry. But of course that means it is
:06:06. > :06:09.hosted in other countries so we work closely with law enforcement and
:06:10. > :06:28.hotlines around the world and with the Internet industry to do as well
:06:29. > :06:30.as we do win the UK and the way we do so well in the UK is bec`use we
:06:31. > :06:33.have a with organisations like ourselves
:06:34. > :06:37.who are closely with law enforcement, the
:06:38. > :06:43.public and the tolerance approach. If anyone
:06:44. > :06:51.suspects they absolutely must report it. What
:06:52. > :06:58.you need report anonymously or ask for
:06:59. > :07:03.details about what your report and if it is illegal, we
:07:04. > :07:05.will take it down. Thank very much. A management buy`out for thd
:07:06. > :07:06.troubled company has been confirmed. Unions and the new owners whll meet
:07:07. > :07:20.next week in a bid to save For months now fears that Solway
:07:21. > :07:25.Foods would close for good. Today finally hope that jobs here can be
:07:26. > :07:32.saved. Is it good news? I bdlieve so. What is the mood? Peopld happy
:07:33. > :07:39.in there? Samar, some are not. We do not have much information ydt this
:07:40. > :07:43.March nine heard `` 900 workers heard their jobs would go and today
:07:44. > :07:47.the question is what does the takeover mean for the 340 still it
:07:48. > :07:52.would smack it is a managemdnt buyout involving two executhves here
:07:53. > :07:58.who have been there for mord than a decade. One of them that I spoke to
:07:59. > :08:01.said that the business plan is still in the infancy. They are looking for
:08:02. > :08:05.new opportunities and they `re trying to secure as many jobs here
:08:06. > :08:09.as possible. Inside the factory they pack salads
:08:10. > :08:12.for supermarkets. The company was one of the biggest employers in
:08:13. > :08:15.Corby. It is very welcome ndws. We hoped we could save the whole of the
:08:16. > :08:20.plant and we were not able to do that but many people have already
:08:21. > :08:26.left employment but the fact the site
:08:27. > :08:30.will stay where it is continue to operate I think is good news. Solway
:08:31. > :08:36.Foods says it is selling thd food processing site.
:08:37. > :08:42.Unions told us they will medt the new owners next week and thd new
:08:43. > :08:44.company begins business next month. It's festival season `
:08:45. > :08:46.Latitude is this weekend, the Cambridge Folk Festival at the
:08:47. > :08:49.end of the month, V Fest in August, but for one young festival`goer
:08:50. > :08:53.from Milton Keynes last year's Georgina Chalmers had been
:08:54. > :09:00.preparing to cook food when a gas She's now warning others
:09:01. > :09:03.about the dangers. You may find some of the im`ges
:09:04. > :09:16.in Peter Cooke's report upsdtting. A new tent to replace the one
:09:17. > :09:22.destroyed in an accident th`t could have killed her. For Georgina and
:09:23. > :09:26.her friends it is a simple task that brings back terrible memorids. I
:09:27. > :09:31.will always have scars, espdcially on my leg which was the most burnt
:09:32. > :09:37.piece of me but fortunately I did not need to have any skin grafts so
:09:38. > :09:40.I was really lucky with what happened and it could have had a
:09:41. > :09:46.very different in `` outcomd if I had inhaled any of the gas. This was
:09:47. > :09:51.the 27`year`old six `` a ye`r ago. A gas canister exploded and she
:09:52. > :09:57.suffered more than 60% burns to her body. She had been cooking lunch and
:09:58. > :10:01.pierced the cylinder but cotld not secure the attachment to stop the
:10:02. > :10:05.gas escaping. 160 people have been killed in gas explosions since 995
:10:06. > :10:09.including 13 next year. Georgina will return to Bestival at the end
:10:10. > :10:14.of the month to thank those who helped her. She is campaignhng for
:10:15. > :10:25.people to be more aware of the dangers of such equipment. What we
:10:26. > :10:28.have been lobbying for sincd 19 5 is prime`time TV warnings
:10:29. > :10:32.feature all of the carbon `based fuels, all of the appliances and all
:10:33. > :10:39.of the things that can go wrong and everything from houses to tdnts to
:10:40. > :10:42.boats to vehicles. I had assumed like most people that if yot can buy
:10:43. > :10:46.something it is safe to use really wasn't so if you havd a gas
:10:47. > :10:53.canister without a please do not use it, it is really
:10:54. > :10:58.not worth the risk or the p`in. A harsh lesson learned but shd is
:10:59. > :10:59.planning to spend more time dancing this summer than at the doctors
:11:00. > :11:01.Many of us are all too award of the problems that can be caused
:11:02. > :11:05.It's a potentially dangerous combination.
:11:06. > :11:08.But now an idea's being tridd out in Northamptonshire which hopes to
:11:09. > :11:17.The council has given traffhc cones to people living near
:11:18. > :11:27.The school run at this prim`ry School in Wellingborough. Pdople
:11:28. > :11:34.here say they have suffered for years with illegal parking. Now they
:11:35. > :11:39.have a new weapon, their very own cones to discourage selfish parking.
:11:40. > :11:46.Sometimes even that is not dnough. We have had people who ignore the
:11:47. > :11:51.cones and one gentleman dragged the cone with him and another child was
:11:52. > :11:56.playing on the corner. We gdt people driving that erratic league then you
:11:57. > :12:06.have the chance of a child getting knocked down. The impact of traffic
:12:07. > :12:08.around our schools is a problem Latest figures from the
:12:09. > :12:12.industry show that 1000 children every
:12:13. > :12:16.schools `` local roads around schools in Britain every month. Four
:12:17. > :12:20.out of five schools have had a pupil injured within 500 metres of the
:12:21. > :12:27.school. That is why local councils have given people cones. Police will
:12:28. > :12:32.only intervene if cars are parked illegally but they hope it will
:12:33. > :12:35.Inconsiderate drivers. We hope so because we all know it is a big
:12:36. > :12:39.problem for schools in Northamptonshire and I am stre it is
:12:40. > :12:44.the same problem elsewhere. I hope this project will improve this
:12:45. > :12:49.community in terms of bad p`rking at school terms. Some drivers gave a
:12:50. > :12:55.cautious welcome. It is a good thing I suppose. I would not want it if I
:12:56. > :13:00.was living up here, I would not want to not be able to get in and out of
:13:01. > :13:03.my entrance. I can understand why they are doing it and I would be
:13:04. > :13:09.furious if anyone blocked access to my Gary Rab`johns I think it is
:13:10. > :13:14.disgusting but I think therd are places where people can park where
:13:15. > :13:20.they are putting combs that is not quite necessary. This is only a
:13:21. > :13:20.pilot but depending on its dxcess `` success it could be brought in
:13:21. > :13:21.elsewhere. The MP for South Cambridgeshire
:13:22. > :13:23.Andrew Lansley, has told thd Prime Minister he hopes to take on an
:13:24. > :13:26.international role in the ftture. It comes
:13:27. > :13:28.as he announced last night that he will step down from Parliamdnt
:13:29. > :13:48.at the next general election. Still to come tonight, the common
:13:49. > :13:55.wealth games petrol on the verge of a world record. And the teenager
:13:56. > :13:56.competing for the first timd. Stay tuned for a little bit of showbiz
:13:57. > :14:01.sparkle. Hello, you might not remembdr me,
:14:02. > :14:06.but my name is Ashley Butler. You should definitely remember him. Now
:14:07. > :14:13.this is Pudsey and we want Britain's got talent two ye`rs ago.
:14:14. > :14:14.Find out what we've been dohng in Wellingborough later on in the show.
:14:15. > :14:18.Twice as many people drown `s die in house fires.
:14:19. > :14:20.Last year, 124 people lost their lives in rivers, and
:14:21. > :14:25.of course it's professional divers who have to recover the bodhes.
:14:26. > :14:28.Our reporter Debbie Tubby h`s been given exclusive access to
:14:29. > :14:31.the only Fire Service dive team in the country.
:14:32. > :14:40.It's based in this region, and it has a new recruit.
:14:41. > :14:48.Is everybody fit to dive today? The situation as we have a misshng
:14:49. > :14:53.person which means we have to come in with the dog. It seems all too
:14:54. > :14:58.real. It has to be realistic. But this is an exercise. Masks `re
:14:59. > :15:04.cleaned, cylinders are filldd. Within 30 minutes of a call, they
:15:05. > :15:08.can be on the road. If it w`s my child at the bottom of that
:15:09. > :15:17.particular lake, I would want them out today. In a dignified m`nner.
:15:18. > :15:23.For most, these firefighters diving. This is an additional skill. Paolo
:15:24. > :15:30.checks out the water. This hs the first time he has been out with the
:15:31. > :15:34.team, the first time on a boat. For the last nine weeks, he has
:15:35. > :15:41.trained to find bodies in w`ter When a body is in water, it
:15:42. > :15:45.the water, the stronger the gases and that
:15:46. > :15:48.detect. Today, he is searchhng for a missing person in a submergdd
:15:49. > :15:53.When he finds it, he will bdcome quite manic. He will lick the water,
:15:54. > :15:59.jump around, he will want to get into the water, then he will look at
:16:00. > :16:08.me to wait for his reward for finding what we are looking for And
:16:09. > :16:12.that is a tennis ball. We whll be diving very shortly. The divers rely
:16:13. > :16:17.on a number little cord, and their supply allowing them to divd the two
:16:18. > :16:20.hours. If we were diving scuba`diving, we have a limhted
:16:21. > :16:27.supply of air. If anything went wrong, we'd be in trouble. They
:16:28. > :16:36.always have to divers on bo`rd. One to search and one on stand`by.
:16:37. > :16:40.You're looking for the car, once you locate, five bells. Only ond metre
:16:41. > :16:46.below the surface, it is zero visibility. Searching is often by
:16:47. > :16:53.touch. You what all alone, xou can't see anything, you're moving up and
:16:54. > :16:55.down, you're getting fatigud, and all you want as a result. You want
:16:56. > :17:00.peace of mind for that family. there's anything particularly
:17:01. > :17:05.unusual one pleasant `` or unpleasant, we will have an on`site
:17:06. > :17:10.debrief. Today, they didn't find the car. But this team has a 100%
:17:11. > :17:19.success rate, a unique job recovering bodies with dignhty and
:17:20. > :17:20.respect. We have another dog with a different talent later.
:17:21. > :17:22.Now to the campaign by a 16`year`old to get British Sign Languagd taught
:17:23. > :17:26.Jade Chapman, from Norfolk, was inspired to start a petition by her
:17:27. > :17:39.sister Laura, who's profoundly deaf. Mike Liggins has their storx.
:17:40. > :17:48.10`year old Laura Chapman w`s born profoundly deaf. She had a cochlear
:17:49. > :17:54.implant at three but becausd Laura also has verbal dyspraxia, she's
:17:55. > :17:57.only just started talking. Communication can be diffictlt. That
:17:58. > :18:04.is why her 16`year`old sistdr Jade wants to see sign language taught in
:18:05. > :18:10.schools much like French and German. It's not fair that these foreign
:18:11. > :18:13.languages are getting this `ttention and high profile. Everybody knows a
:18:14. > :18:19.bit of French. But no one rdally knows sign language. It's not fair
:18:20. > :18:23.that deaf people have been hsolated from the hearing world. Thex want to
:18:24. > :18:29.communicate but they can't, so teachers need to know that `nd teach
:18:30. > :18:33.sign language. Laura goes to Coleman Junior in Norwich. It is a
:18:34. > :18:38.mainstream school with a de`f unit. She gets help from a specialist
:18:39. > :18:43.support assistant. I was worried an interview with Laura was gohng to be
:18:44. > :18:50.difficult. But when she started talking, it was hard to get her to
:18:51. > :19:05.stop. It was in my bag, my friend found it... And, also, I got house
:19:06. > :19:13.points with my friend. At this school, there is a signing club
:19:14. > :19:19.Hearing children can learn BSL to help their hearing impaired friends.
:19:20. > :19:25.How do you communicate with Laura? Sign language or lip`reading. She
:19:26. > :19:30.sometimes understands a bit of both, and if she doesn't, we have to sign
:19:31. > :19:36.it. So it is difficult but not impossible? No. It's not just about
:19:37. > :19:40.learning a language because someone is deaf at a school, it is `bout
:19:41. > :19:44.their future as well, and it is another method of communicating with
:19:45. > :19:45.deaf people, and it is another method of communicating with peers
:19:46. > :20:00.as well. Jade has set up a Facebook page and
:20:01. > :20:05.she has started an online pdtition. Jade says she won't give up without
:20:06. > :20:14.We heard about that story because Jade got in touch whth us.
:20:15. > :20:17.If you've got a story to tell, we want to hear from you.
:20:18. > :20:20.You can phone or email, or use Facebook and Twitter.
:20:21. > :20:23.Don't forget to leave your name and a contact number.
:20:24. > :20:26.The Commonwealth Games are now just a week away, and this week we're
:20:27. > :20:29.looking at people from this region who could make a big impact. Today,
:20:30. > :20:33.a tale of two shooters. One is a veteran on the verge of a world
:20:34. > :20:37.record, and the other is colpeting for the first time. The det`ils
:20:38. > :20:49.Out of retirement for one final shot.
:20:50. > :20:51.Michael Galt is 60 now, England's most successful
:20:52. > :20:57.17 medals in all, eyeing up one more in Glasgow to equal the record.
:20:58. > :21:15.The feeling of doing what I love doing.
:21:16. > :21:18.So, what would that one further Commonwealth medal mean to do?
:21:19. > :21:21.It would just be job done, that's it.
:21:22. > :21:28.I've done what's required of myself to become the most decorated athlete
:21:29. > :21:42.And that is my very first gold medal for a 50 metre free pistol...
:21:43. > :21:49.20 years on, there's a new kid on the block.
:21:50. > :21:52.At just 18, Suffolk's Larissa Sykes is one of the youngest membdrs
:21:53. > :22:00.It was one of those I was sdeing everyone coming back with their
:22:01. > :22:04.medals, and I thought, I want to do that, and four years down the line,
:22:05. > :22:08.I'm going to have the pride to stand there and say at the end of the day
:22:09. > :22:10.I'm representing my country, and I want to do my best for it
:22:11. > :22:21.Surprising, some people might say, but the plans, the preparathon,
:22:22. > :22:26.the support network I've got going as well, they've really elilinated
:22:27. > :22:32.Larissa trains four times a week in Cambridge.
:22:33. > :22:34.Hard to squeeze in the hours whilst holding
:22:35. > :22:40.We are all extremely chuffed, really proud of how well she's dond.
:22:41. > :22:42.She's worked really, really hard trying to fit it
:22:43. > :22:46.in with all the work we are giving her here, and to fit
:22:47. > :23:04.For the record, Michael would happily bow out with any colour
:23:05. > :23:09.Those of you who watched Brhtain's Got Talent will already know Pudsey
:23:10. > :23:10.the dog. He was the star who set
:23:11. > :23:15.the world alight. Now Pudsey is the star
:23:16. > :23:18.of a new film, and today he was given the freedom
:23:19. > :23:30.of his hometown Wellingborotgh. Meet the dog... Whose greatdst
:23:31. > :23:35.talent is being a hero. The big screen superstar is a lot slaller in
:23:36. > :23:39.the Firth. Back in his hometown alongside his best friend Ashley
:23:40. > :23:47.Pudsey humbly accepted the freedom of Wellingborough. I loved from the
:23:48. > :23:51.first minute I saw him on Britain's Got Talent, and I feel like a
:23:52. > :23:56.phantom goal today. He's lovely isn't he? A really nice dog. They
:23:57. > :24:01.are free to go anywhere, thdre are no boundaries he cannot go to. So,
:24:02. > :24:07.he can go to restaurants and pubs? It depends on the landlord! But I am
:24:08. > :24:14.sure he will be welcome there. He is so well mannered. A district 's like
:24:15. > :24:18.this that have put a smile on the face of Simon Cowell but he has come
:24:19. > :24:20.a long way since then. You are going to have great time
:24:21. > :24:31.here. Let me introduce you to the others.
:24:32. > :24:41.How do you fill to have the freedom of Wellingborough? And how does it
:24:42. > :24:48.feel being. ? Did you get any treats? Porkpie! Porkpie passion
:24:49. > :24:55.aside, Pudsey's owner knew from the start he was special. When he was
:24:56. > :24:59.born, he was the one puppy that interacted with me, so I sax that he
:25:00. > :25:04.chose me. He always played with me, he was the most energetic, `nd right
:25:05. > :25:10.from them, I started to teach him tricks and we are now here. Has he
:25:11. > :25:16.seen a squirrel? Yes. Pudsex! Pudsey! You're in the middld of an
:25:17. > :25:21.interview! It seems underne`th his cool combed exterior, Pudsex is just
:25:22. > :25:25.like all the other dogs. Well, not quite.
:25:26. > :25:36.That's how dogs should behave. The weather.
:25:37. > :25:42.The temperatures hit shy of 28 in Essex today and they could go higher
:25:43. > :25:47.by Friday, hitting 30. We h`ve some changes on the way. The high
:25:48. > :25:51.pressure is producing sunny weather, but we have this weather front
:25:52. > :25:56.pushing in from the west, ttrning western counties much cloudher, and
:25:57. > :25:59.they will continue to turn cloudy this evening and eventually this
:26:00. > :26:04.cloud is likely to produce some rain. This weather front is fizzling
:26:05. > :26:08.out as it heads eastward so for most of us it should stay dry and where
:26:09. > :26:13.there is some rain, it will dampen things down. Some cloud arotnd, so
:26:14. > :26:22.temperatures will not fall `way tonight. Not the most comfortable
:26:23. > :26:28.night for sleeping. Once thd cloud has broken up, it is another hot and
:26:29. > :26:30.sunny day. The temperatures will climb higher tomorrow. We still have
:26:31. > :26:35.a bit of cloud to shift first but then that sunshine breaks
:26:36. > :26:39.through the cloud, with temperatures shooting up`to`the`minute 20s. If
:26:40. > :26:44.you don't like them hot weather go to the coast. As the easterly wind
:26:45. > :26:50.kicks in, it will mean a cooler forecast for places like thd Norfolk
:26:51. > :26:56.and Suffolk coastline. Look at the temperatures inland. It is going to
:26:57. > :27:03.be a hot afternoon. Change on the way by the end of the week. It is
:27:04. > :27:06.likely to go bang. A lot of hot air coming up from France meeting cooler
:27:07. > :27:09.air coming in from the west, so likely to be some fairly intense
:27:10. > :27:14.thunderstorms by Friday night and into Saturday morning. Before then,
:27:15. > :27:19.on Friday, if you like heat and Yuma, Friday will be quite ` nice
:27:20. > :27:23.day with many places likely to get 30 degrees. It turns unsettled
:27:24. > :27:31.overnight with intense thundery downpours. Saturday is lookhng quite
:27:32. > :27:36.wet. Keep on top of the fordcast to know where this rain will bd, but it
:27:37. > :27:40.is likely to be showery, and showers continuing on Sunday.
:27:41. > :27:45.Thank you. If you're on holhday at the coast, cooler temperatures
:27:46. > :27:47.tomorrow not a good idea. Enjoy your holiday! Goodbye
