:00:53. > :00:55.General Hospital suffering After assessment by Dr Tasnim Arif,

:00:56. > :01:00.he was sent home, Today a medical tribunal ruled that

:01:01. > :01:07.Dr Arif had failed to record the toddler's symptoms properly

:01:08. > :01:09.and should have "taken more care". The hearing, in Manchester,

:01:10. > :01:15.is to decide whether Dr Tasnim Arif Ben Bland was there and joins us

:01:16. > :01:34.now from the BBC's Salford studio. This case is about a 19`month`old

:01:35. > :01:38.baby who died. The process is not about finding anyone guilty of

:01:39. > :01:43.blaming anyone. It's about whether a doctor fell short of the standards

:01:44. > :01:48.expected of her. A number of allegations of misconduct were made

:01:49. > :01:52.against Dr Tasnim Arif from Northampton. Today, the tribunal

:01:53. > :01:55.found that some of those allegations were proved to be true based on

:01:56. > :01:57.evidence heard over the last two weeks.

:01:58. > :02:00.Pictures like this, and memories, are all that Harry Connolly's

:02:01. > :02:02.parents now have to remember their baby boy.

:02:03. > :02:04.In April 2011, they took him twice to Northampton General Hospital.

:02:05. > :02:07.The 19`month`old had been having severe vomiting and diarrhoea

:02:08. > :02:13.But twice they were sent home and told by doctors it was just a virus.

:02:14. > :02:23.Three days later Harry died at home from dehydration and kidney failure.

:02:24. > :02:30.This is basic bread and butter paediatrics. We are not talking

:02:31. > :02:36.about a chronicle the disease or underlying health conditions. It is

:02:37. > :02:40.Today, one of the doctors who saw Harry at

:02:41. > :02:42.Northampton General before he died, appeared at a misconduct tribunal.

:02:43. > :02:45.Dr Tasnim Arif admitted she had failed to check

:02:46. > :02:48.if his weight had changed and record how often and how much Harry had

:02:49. > :02:51.The panel found there had been further failures.

:02:52. > :02:55.Among them, that Dr Arif had failed to adequately assess Harry

:02:56. > :03:03.She failed to record if he was "well hydrated" or not.

:03:04. > :03:05.And, she failed to record that he was "lethargic",

:03:06. > :03:07.a red flag symptom of dehydration according to medical guidelines.

:03:08. > :03:09.The panel sitting here in Manchester told Dr Arif

:03:10. > :03:12."you ought to have taken more care when assessing Harry",

:03:13. > :03:15.given that he was brought back to the ward and taking into account

:03:16. > :03:19.The tribunal will meet again in January to decide

:03:20. > :03:24.if all this affects Dr Arif's fitness to practise.

:03:25. > :03:27.After Harry's death, Northampton General Hospital carried

:03:28. > :03:31.It found key procedures had not been followed.

:03:32. > :03:34.It says it has since made changes and has also

:03:35. > :03:38.This summer, they should have been getting him ready to start school

:03:39. > :03:42.Instead, they're still seeking answers as to why their little

:03:43. > :03:58.To day was the first stage in the process looking at whether the

:03:59. > :04:02.allegations were true or not. When the panel meets again in January,

:04:03. > :04:07.they moved to the second stage and they will decide whether this calls

:04:08. > :04:12.into question Dr Tasnim Arif's fitness to practice. Only after that

:04:13. > :04:17.will they consider sanctions, which could, if any, range from needing

:04:18. > :04:20.further training to being struck off permanently. However this end, it

:04:21. > :04:26.will not bring that back the boy he was so dearly missed.

:04:27. > :04:28.A man has been seriously injured after being stabbed in Peterborough.

:04:29. > :04:30.The incident happened in Cobden Avenue in Millfield.

:04:31. > :04:33.Officers say the victim, who is in his 30s, has suffered

:04:34. > :04:36.A 32`year`old man has been arrested in connection with the incident.

:04:37. > :04:39.He has also been taken to Peterborough City Hospital,

:04:40. > :04:47.Four pedestrians have been injured after being hit by a car

:04:48. > :04:49.in Cambridge, which had earlier failed to stop for police.

:04:50. > :04:52.Officers had tried to stop the car in Hills Road just before midnight

:04:53. > :04:55.yesterday, but it made off and later mounted the pavement near Station

:04:56. > :05:02.Police say the car wasn't being pursued at the time.

:05:03. > :05:10.A 43`year`old man has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving.

:05:11. > :05:14.The jury has gone out to consider its verdicts in the case of a Luton

:05:15. > :05:17.accountant who was gunned down after being caught in the middle

:05:18. > :05:20.Atif Ali, then 27, was shot at close range

:05:21. > :05:26.He needed a seven`hour operation at Addenbrooke's hospital

:05:27. > :05:47.This is a complicated case. There are six defendants all accused of

:05:48. > :05:50.conspiracy to commit murder. The master man `` mastermind has said he

:05:51. > :05:59.wanted a relationship with Atif Ali's Beyonce. The man who was ``

:06:00. > :06:03.who allegedly supplied the weapon. Two other men are also accused of

:06:04. > :06:08.being involved. Today, the judge summed up the case to the jury. On

:06:09. > :06:13.May 20 last year, Atif Ali with driving to work when he was rammed

:06:14. > :06:16.from behind by another vehicle. As he got out, he was blasted in the

:06:17. > :06:24.leg with a Sean Belloc saw off a shot gun. The man admits carrying

:06:25. > :06:27.out the shooting but said he had no intention of carrying out a

:06:28. > :06:33.shooting. If not, he would've shot him in the head to kill him. Both

:06:34. > :06:36.men have admitted conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm. The

:06:37. > :06:42.court also heard about the car, a Ford Mondeo. On the day of the

:06:43. > :06:48.shooting, it was caught on CCTV, following Atif Ali's Audi. It had

:06:49. > :06:53.been brought the ?300 in cash and left overnight nearby. The keys were

:06:54. > :06:57.on the rear wheel arch. They were later collected and used in the

:06:58. > :07:01.shooting. There was also evidence about a series of phone calls

:07:02. > :07:06.between the three men. The defence says these conversations about

:07:07. > :07:13.prying proteins `` buying protein shakes. The judge has told the jury

:07:14. > :07:16.they must decide about this. Today, they failed to determine any

:07:17. > :07:18.verdicts. They will return on Monday.

:07:19. > :07:21.Luton has the worst survival rates for cancer in the region according

:07:22. > :07:24.Macmillan says there's an "inexcusable"

:07:25. > :07:29.These figures show the percentage of patients who died just one year

:07:30. > :07:34.As you can see, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough have

:07:35. > :07:40.The rest of the region is ranked at 33%, but Luton has

:07:41. > :07:48.Earlier I spoke to Dr Nina Pearson from Luton's Clinical Commissioning

:07:49. > :07:59.group and asked why more people seem to be dying in Luton?

:08:00. > :08:08.This is a complicated picture. In use today is no surprise because we

:08:09. > :08:12.do know that our one year survival rates of the cancers are not as good

:08:13. > :08:17.in Luton as they are in the rest of the country. We are similar to many

:08:18. > :08:21.other deprived areas in the country. There are a number of factors. One

:08:22. > :08:28.is the general healthy population, another is the fact that when people

:08:29. > :08:31.are having stressed lives because of the level of deprivation, they do

:08:32. > :08:36.not necessarily deal with their health as a high priority, because

:08:37. > :08:43.there are lots of other things happening. Sometimes they put off

:08:44. > :08:48.resenting symptoms to doctors, `` presenting, when they should come

:08:49. > :08:54.earlier. What can be done to educate them? We have been doing a lot. We

:08:55. > :09:03.have enthusiastically embraced local programmes promoting health advice,

:09:04. > :09:09.there have been problems `` programmes on what to do if you have

:09:10. > :09:13.a cough or more than three weeks, to go to your doctor. Also, what to do

:09:14. > :09:23.if you see blood in your European. Another innovative thing `` your

:09:24. > :09:27.ring `` we have been training people to understand more about the

:09:28. > :09:31.symptoms of cancer and how to talk to their neighbours and their work

:09:32. > :09:38.colleagues about symptoms and to encourage them to go and get any

:09:39. > :09:42.symptoms checked out. How far is it a problem that ethnic minorities not

:09:43. > :09:48.accessing health care? I think there are a number of factors there. If

:09:49. > :09:51.your first language is not English, then locks of the promotional

:09:52. > :09:53.materials are in English so it is not English, then locks of the

:09:54. > :10:00.promotional materials are in English so it's a bit difficult `` lot.

:10:01. > :10:04.Also, you need the confidence to go and talk about the symptoms you are

:10:05. > :10:09.having. I can understand why people might find these difficult. You say

:10:10. > :10:16.the symptoms are no surprise, but how worried should we be? I think it

:10:17. > :10:21.is a really important factor for the population to get behind. Do

:10:22. > :10:25.encourage each other. Do look after your health. Don't start smoking in

:10:26. > :10:29.the first place. If you are a smoker, we have lots of services to

:10:30. > :10:34.help you to stop and we would encourage you to access them. That

:10:35. > :10:38.is the best thing you can do to cut your cancer risks. Stop smoking.

:10:39. > :10:41.Questions are being asked about how effective the flood defence systems

:10:42. > :10:43.in March are, after last week's torrential storms and flooding.

:10:44. > :10:46.The network of rivers and drains in the Fens are controlled

:10:47. > :10:49.They say under normal conditions, flood water would flow

:10:50. > :10:52.But last week, that water remained on the streets.

:10:53. > :10:54.The Commissioners say drainage systems in March town centre haven't

:10:55. > :10:57.been properly maintained and new housing has made drainage worse.

:10:58. > :10:59.Fenland District Council hasn't commented on the allegations.

:11:00. > :11:01.Later Alex has the weather and more rain ahead.

:11:02. > :11:13.First, back to Susie and David for the rest of the news.

:11:14. > :11:22.Still to come. On court with a married couple who won gold at the

:11:23. > :11:31.Commonwealth Games. Plus 5000 guides and scouts from all over the world.

:11:32. > :11:34.If someone offered to deliver your letters the next day, for less

:11:35. > :11:37.than half the price of a first class stamp, would you be tempted?

:11:38. > :11:39.If you are, then you wouldn't be alone because that's what's

:11:40. > :11:43.Brian Webb, who runs a newspaper delivery business, spotted a gap

:11:44. > :11:46.in the market and started postal deliveries in the spring.

:11:47. > :11:50.He covers 20 villages around Wisbech and already he's delivering 1,000

:11:51. > :12:00.He collects the mail, sorts the mail, delivers it.

:12:01. > :12:07.This is Brian Webb, newsagent and now private postman.

:12:08. > :12:11.A new career all because of the cost of a stamp.

:12:12. > :12:19.I was collecting the money and my customer said to me,

:12:20. > :12:22.what ever would your mum say, paying money for posting a letter.

:12:23. > :12:35.She said, it goes up next week to 62p.

:12:36. > :12:41.Less than half the price of first class.

:12:42. > :12:43.His round is growing on foot and by van.

:12:44. > :12:44.20 villages, more than 1500 customers.

:12:45. > :12:47.Among them, businesses like Linda Pepper's hairdressers.

:12:48. > :12:50.Moving away from Royal Mail is quite a big jump, isn't it?

:12:51. > :12:57.It is, but at 30p it is a jump worth taking for our local mail.

:12:58. > :13:01.Customers buy the sheets for ?3 each.

:13:02. > :13:07.When they use a stamp they are marked just like the Royal Mail.

:13:08. > :13:12.Stamped, Webb's Postal Service, it is delivered the next day.

:13:13. > :13:17.They told us that if a local delivery company can guarantee the

:13:18. > :13:22.same level of service under the same requirements, we wish them well.

:13:23. > :13:25.And when it comes to deliveries, there are bigger fish to worry about

:13:26. > :13:32.I don't believe Brian himself is a threat, but what he's doing could

:13:33. > :13:37.be on a larger scale with some of the bigger companies.

:13:38. > :13:39.He can't compete when people move to the southern

:13:40. > :13:44.hemisphere, but business closer to home, he says, is booming.

:13:45. > :13:48.It has just gone from doctors to solicitors,

:13:49. > :13:56.He's delivered morning papers all his life,

:13:57. > :14:02.An independent mailman who is hoping to take on more staff and the

:14:03. > :14:19.People in Frinton on the Essex coast are very proud

:14:20. > :14:23.It's very neat, very tidy and very traditional.

:14:24. > :14:25.And over the years, they've fought a lot of battles to

:14:26. > :14:29.They've opposed bookmakers, ice cream parlours and pubs.

:14:30. > :14:31.But now they're taking on the supermarket giant Sainsbury's, and

:14:32. > :14:39.This is a town which stands defiantly behind it's white gates,

:14:40. > :14:42.determined to keep the traditional feel to its high street.

:14:43. > :14:47.Anything that causes a problem comes under close scrutiny.

:14:48. > :14:49.Frinton isn't a place that likes change.

:14:50. > :14:53.The pub, the fish and chip shop, even the railway gates caused

:14:54. > :14:57.controversy when they were replaced with automatic ones.

:14:58. > :15:00.Now the town council has asked Sainsbury's to reconsider

:15:01. > :15:06.its plans for a new store, saying it's signs are too orange.

:15:07. > :15:10.What we don't want to see is this great orange mass at the front.

:15:11. > :15:14.I think people will know that Sainsbury's is there,

:15:15. > :15:18.and I'm sure they will use it, and I don't think you need to paint

:15:19. > :15:22.You could perhaps do something that was more in keeping with the area.

:15:23. > :15:24.It is the latest in a list of battles.

:15:25. > :15:27.The man who sold ice cream on the seafront was stopped,

:15:28. > :15:30.the town resisted having a pub until 2000 and when

:15:31. > :15:37.the much disputed fish and chip shop first opened, it had to be nice.

:15:38. > :15:40.The council says it welcomes the supermarket but abides

:15:41. > :15:52.A spokesperson for Sainsbury's said some concern was raised about

:15:53. > :15:55.the signage, but they are always careful to ensure that their stores

:15:56. > :15:58.are in keeping with the local areas and they will consider any comments

:15:59. > :16:00.made from Frinton residents as they take their plans forward.

:16:01. > :16:03.I don't think it matters, to be honest.

:16:04. > :16:12.Sainsbury's is Sainsbury's at the end of the day.

:16:13. > :16:17.But councillors asked Sainsbury's if it will consider reverting to

:16:18. > :16:20.its original black and gold signage, which it considers to be

:16:21. > :16:30.Sport now, and the golden couple of the Commonwealth Games, Chris and

:16:31. > :16:34.Gabby Adcock, have told Look East they're now hoping for more success

:16:35. > :16:40.The pair from Milton Keynes won gold in the badminton mixed doubles,

:16:41. > :16:43.the first married couple in their event to do so.

:16:44. > :16:50.Barely time to draw breath, English badminton's golden couple

:16:51. > :16:55.back home preparing for next week's World Championships.

:16:56. > :16:57.They train five times a week, morning and afternoon.

:16:58. > :17:00.Two weeks ago at the Commonwealth Games their dedication

:17:01. > :17:08.Without sounding too cliched, it is a dream come true.

:17:09. > :17:11.You dream about being on top of that podium and with all

:17:12. > :17:19.Do you always wander around wearing your medals?

:17:20. > :17:22.Yes, we like to look at them now and again and get them out

:17:23. > :17:26.of the box, but we are really proud of what we have done and happy we

:17:27. > :17:31.Your friends and colleagues around you must hear you coming.

:17:32. > :17:35.They sound a bit like a wind chime, moving about.

:17:36. > :17:40.The Adcocks are ranked fifth in the world.

:17:41. > :17:43.They were the outstanding couple at the Commonwealth, winning

:17:44. > :17:49.With the real Olympics just two years away, every second counts

:17:50. > :17:56.You're married to each other, do you get bored of each other?

:17:57. > :18:03.We are very used to it since we were 16.

:18:04. > :18:06.We used to live at the lodge together

:18:07. > :18:16.It is really important the partnership, especially as you work

:18:17. > :18:19.together and you both have imput, because that is how you progress.

:18:20. > :18:22.We are very lucky to do what we love together and

:18:23. > :18:25.when we achieve something it makes it all that more special.

:18:26. > :18:30.I think it is same at home, because at work we are so much

:18:31. > :18:37.It transfers into our home life quite well.

:18:38. > :18:40.Commonwealth celebrations have been put on hold

:18:41. > :18:43.but with the holiday booked and a first wedding anniversary to come,

:18:44. > :18:47.they should buy some quality time together off the court, particularly

:18:48. > :19:12.I love that bit where their hated it. If it was that easy, I would do

:19:13. > :19:16.In athletics, some of the region's athletes have

:19:17. > :19:19.got their sights on medals at the European Championships in Zurich.

:19:20. > :19:21.Will Sharman from Corby won Silver last night in the hurdles,

:19:22. > :19:24.and this evening there could be more glory in the track and field.

:19:25. > :19:29.Until this year his biggest hurdle has been injury and inconsistency,

:19:30. > :19:33.but last night all that stood between Will Sharman and a gold

:19:34. > :19:38.medal with ten potential stumbling blocks. He was out faster than the

:19:39. > :19:42.human eye, but human frailty kicked in and he clattered the gates, lost

:19:43. > :19:48.his stride and lost his golden opportunity, silver for him. Mixed

:19:49. > :19:56.emotions because I knew I was in the lead. I studied my opposition. I

:19:57. > :20:00.know what I am strongest. I didn't expect to be in the lead in the

:20:01. > :20:08.middle section, but I dominated it. That is why I was gutted, because I

:20:09. > :20:15.could have done more. In the javelin, either through 70 metres,

:20:16. > :20:21.an amazing achievement at the surgery and 18 months of heartache.

:20:22. > :20:26.58 was not another to be near the podium, and the captain finished

:20:27. > :20:31.eighth. On the track tonight, Jill Williams runs in the final of the

:20:32. > :20:35.tour in metres. As a junior, she was fated to be a major force, while

:20:36. > :20:39.some night it is her chance to win their first grown`up championship.

:20:40. > :20:46.If her semifinal stroll over is anything to go by, she has nothing

:20:47. > :20:53.to fear. I just did as much as I needed to do. I can as much energy

:20:54. > :21:02.as I could. I want to win just as much as anyone else. Also denied is

:21:03. > :21:06.Chris Baker in the high jump. `` tonight. Greg Williams is looking to

:21:07. > :21:10.add European gold to his Commonwealth title. Good luck to all

:21:11. > :21:14.of them. And of course there's a full

:21:15. > :21:17.programme of football this weekend. There are previews

:21:18. > :21:19.of all the games on the BBC Sport website and coverage of every game

:21:20. > :21:22.on your BBC Local radio station. We'll have the goals on Look East

:21:23. > :21:25.on Sunday teatime. For the past week,

:21:26. > :21:27.Norfolk has had a new town. Population 6000,

:21:28. > :21:29.most residents under 15 and It's called Norjam and it's one

:21:30. > :21:33.of the biggest scout And as Jenny Kirk reports, children

:21:34. > :21:52.from all over the world have come to From as far as field as New Zealand,

:21:53. > :21:58.5000 Scouts and guides from 21 countries are here for a week of

:21:59. > :22:05.activities, team`building, personal challenges, new friends and of

:22:06. > :22:15.chanting. And it is character building stuff. What is in there?

:22:16. > :22:19.Irritating. Scary and squashing. This is the size of a small town.

:22:20. > :22:25.They have pretty much everything here to keep ten to 18`year`olds

:22:32. > :22:39.their own radio station. Good morning. What do you think Norjam?

:22:40. > :22:47.It is a real chance to do something great. It is a good opportunity to

:22:48. > :22:55.do something new, so I decided I would go for it. It is hard to

:22:56. > :23:01.resist getting stuck in. Hello, I am Jenny. It is the last afternoon here

:23:02. > :23:11.at Norjam and excitement is building. Watch and learn, watch and

:23:12. > :23:17.learn. The bottle was spotted by E`coli fans. Moving on. As well as

:23:18. > :23:22.barrel loads of fun and a week away from home, there is a deeper message

:23:23. > :23:29.to all of this. The highlight is that we have Arabs sitting next to

:23:30. > :23:39.Jewish people. It is world peace here in Norfolk. Maybe we should

:23:40. > :23:55.have a few scouts helping out the United Nations. The gill scouts

:23:56. > :24:06.agreed. We have made new friends `` girl. It is all a long way off from

:24:07. > :24:17.campfires. Archery. Everything has been fun. Even the weather? Not

:24:18. > :24:34.ready. It finishes tonight. Plan the next ten to `` girl begins next

:24:35. > :24:38.week. They will be glad it is finishing tonight, because the

:24:39. > :24:43.weather is getting cooler. What a great thing to do. The weather has

:24:44. > :24:48.been on and off. great thing to do. The weather has

:24:49. > :24:54.been on and off. We have seen some decent spells of sunshine today. We

:24:55. > :25:00.have some fine traditions, but some areas of cloud and it has felt

:25:01. > :25:05.cooler through the day. This is our satellite image for the last few

:25:06. > :25:09.hours. The eastern half is doing well sunshine, but we should see

:25:10. > :25:12.some sunny spells at the end of the day. There is a risk of one or two

:25:13. > :25:20.showers, certainly for this evening. After we get to about

:25:21. > :25:24.midnight and beyond, it should be largely dry with some clear spells

:25:25. > :25:29.developing. Quite cool temperatures for tonight. These are our towns and

:25:30. > :25:32.cities. Out in the countryside it could get down to single figures in

:25:33. > :25:40.one or two spots. The wind coming from the west. So, we start tomorrow

:25:41. > :25:44.with good sunshine. It will tend to turn cloudy into the afternoon.

:25:45. > :25:51.There is a chance of an isolated shower. Those places at risk are

:25:52. > :25:56.those North Eastern corners. A brisk breeze coming from the west.

:25:57. > :25:59.Temperatures anywhere between 19 and 20 degrees, so they stayed quiet on

:26:00. > :26:04.the cooler side. Where the cloud is, there should be some decent breaks

:26:05. > :26:09.to allow for sunshine. It is not a bad start to our weekend. Then it

:26:10. > :26:19.changes somewhat for Sunday, because this is our pressure pattern. We

:26:20. > :26:23.have a week pressure pattern come in. It looks like a windy forecast

:26:24. > :26:29.for Sunday, and that could be some gusts of up to 40 mph. Quite a windy

:26:30. > :26:34.forecasts. Let's summarise our weekend. Largely dry, but there

:26:35. > :26:39.could be some spot of rain, and some sunny spells around for tomorrow

:26:40. > :26:44.morning, but it will be quite windy through Sunday. Let's go back over

:26:45. > :26:48.Saturday as it is the best of the two days. A bit more cloud to stop

:26:49. > :26:54.the day on Sunday but it will brighten up, perhaps some spots of

:26:55. > :26:59.rain. We started Monday with some showers, but look at our

:27:00. > :27:03.temperatures, they're going down. A lot more cloud, highs of 16 degrees

:27:04. > :27:09.and overnight temperatures into single figures. Summer is still

:27:10. > :27:11.here. Clinging on, we are. Have a great
