:06:04. > :06:09.They have had to diversify their economies. They have had sole

:07:30. > :07:31.and they are the first of m`ny being targeted by police in

:07:36. > :07:40.previously concentrated thehr efforts on tracking down thd groups
:07:41. > :07:43.who groom young girls for sdx. The Cambridgeshire police appro`ch is
:07:44. > :07:49.different to what has happened in Rotherham. They target thosd groups
:07:50. > :07:55.and nail them down. We need to recognise that a young girl of 3 or
:07:56. > :08:03.14 who may be showing risky behaviour, they exploit thel. Two
:08:04. > :08:07.years ago, social workers ddcided to go looking for potential victims of
:08:08. > :08:11.these groups. That young girls they found were given the confiddnce to
:08:12. > :08:21.speak and their forces were heard. What they said led to `` let the
:08:22. > :08:27.police to their abusers. I was saying I didn't want to do ht. In
:08:28. > :08:33.Peterborough, it is not hard to find people who have seen girls being
:08:34. > :08:40.abused by older man. I have seen a young girl being held in a flat
:08:41. > :08:44.being slapped, beaten, monex taken of her, not letting her leave the
:08:45. > :08:51.flat. When I was homeless, H met a few young girls in homeless hostels
:08:52. > :08:58.and they were telling me th`t they had a sugar daddy. He would give
:08:59. > :09:03.them money but they would obviously have to do favours for them. In
:09:04. > :09:11.Cambridge, they have increased the number of officers working on the
:09:12. > :09:17.cases. We are developing cases and looking at the recommendations that
:09:18. > :09:24.have come out of that. I thhnk we are far better equipped to recognise
:09:25. > :09:31.and proactively deal with these types of investigations. We are
:09:32. > :09:33.intent on stamping out and eradicating child exploitathon in
:09:34. > :09:37.Peterborough together with the police. It is those close working
:09:38. > :09:44.relationships with the police that have assisted us in bringing those
:09:45. > :09:47.criminals to justice. Four new sexual exploitation cases are being
:09:48. > :10:10.investigated and could end tp in court.

:10:35. > :10:36.because running and repair costs were too hhgh.
:10:37. > :10:39.But after 10,000 signed a pdtition, councillors have agreed to rethink

:10:53. > :10:55.form a community organisation and keep the day centre open for its
:10:56. > :11:05.Wellingborough Council says it costs ?170,000 a year to run the hall
:11:06. > :11:12.And they say it needs around ?200,000 worth of repairs.
:11:13. > :11:17.We always said the building has finished its working life and it
:11:18. > :11:21.is not the council's responsibility to run daycare centre. We h`ve three
:11:22. > :11:25.organisations organisations interested in running and working in
:11:26. > :11:33.partnership. That is an improvement on what we had.
:11:34. > :11:36.People here clearly feel strongly about keeping this hall open.
:11:37. > :11:39.Either way the council says it will have to close at least temporarily
:11:40. > :11:44.for up to two months for essential building work to be done.

:12:56. > :12:58.Within the last hour, it's been announced that
:12:59. > :13:01.a major find of Roman treastre has been unearthed beneath a shop
:13:02. > :13:03.in Colchester high street in Essex. Archaeologists say the hoard
:13:04. > :13:06.consists of jewellery, which would have been owned by a wealthx Roman
:13:07. > :13:09.woman about 2,000 years ago. Until now, the discovery
:13:10. > :13:12.of the collection of gold and silver has been a closely guarded secret.
:13:13. > :13:16.Now we can tell you it's on the site of the oldest ddpartment
:13:17. > :13:19.store in the town. As our chief reporter Kim Rhley
:13:20. > :13:25.discovered, the excavation has also uncovered a brutal human story.
:13:26. > :13:28.In Colchester's busy high street, the Williams Griffin department
:13:29. > :13:30.store is undergoing a ?30 million redevelopment.
:13:31. > :13:32.Building work on the site is pressing ahe`d fast
:13:33. > :13:39.after archaeologists spent five weeks digging and exploring three
:13:40. > :13:41.holes underground. Three days
:13:42. > :13:45.before the dig was due to end, the team literally struck gold.
:13:46. > :13:55.I reacted in the least profdssional way that an archaeologist c`n.
:13:56. > :14:03.Archaeologist Emma Holloway is drawing and recording every item
:14:04. > :14:06.that is still surrounded by soil. At the front we have
:14:07. > :14:09.got two gold armlets. This is a silver bracelet, `nd
:14:10. > :14:14.you could get it over your wrist. And underneath we have
:14:15. > :14:20.a silver chain. Over here,
:14:21. > :14:28.we have what looks like a wristwatch and is actually a silver arllet
:14:29. > :14:35.There's a picture in the middle that looks like a seated dehty with
:14:36. > :14:38.two people standing either side Inside the little jewellery box
:14:39. > :14:45.two people standing either side Inside is a little jewellerx box,
:14:46. > :14:47.and a ball underneath. We think they are hollow
:14:48. > :14:51.and a stack of four, possibly five, gold rings.
:14:52. > :14:52.The dig also uncovered the human story during the revolt
:14:53. > :15:05.against the Roman occupation. Around that discovery of thd gold
:15:06. > :15:08.and silver, we found the hotse in which it had been buried and we
:15:09. > :15:14.could see what had happened to the house. It was destroyed by fire On
:15:15. > :15:21.one side of the room, scattdred foodstuffs that had never bden
:15:22. > :15:29.eaten. Dates and fakes. We saw the panic. This rich lady desperate to
:15:30. > :15:32.protect her family and buridd her precious belongings. Part of a shin
:15:33. > :15:37.bone was also recovered, an indication that that someond fought
:15:38. > :15:41.and died on this site. It is thought the Treasury will go on public
:15:42. > :15:50.display after painstaking work by a Conservative. `` conservator.
:15:51. > :15:53.Well, confirmation of that discovdry has
:15:54. > :15:55.reinforced Colchester's repttation as a major centre of Roman history.
:15:56. > :15:56.So, what was the town like 2,000 years ago?
:15:57. > :16:07.Mike Liggins has been finding out. If you want to know about the Romans
:16:08. > :16:15.in Colchester, you need to go to the Castle Museum, where Philip Wise is
:16:16. > :16:21.the historian. This is the tombstone of a member of the Roman invasion
:16:22. > :16:24.army which arrived in Colchdster in the year 43. Open any textbook on
:16:25. > :16:32.Roman Britain and you will see an image of him. And why did the Romans
:16:33. > :16:38.choose Colchester? The Roman army arrived in Colchester in 43, having
:16:39. > :16:44.landed on the south coast, larched up across the River Thames `nd I
:16:45. > :16:48.write here in Colchester, bdcause this was seen as the political
:16:49. > :16:53.capital of Britain. So we'rd about to go onto the roof which is not
:16:54. > :17:01.normally accessible to the public, unless on a guided tour. Colchester
:17:02. > :17:06.became the capital of Roman Britain. They called it the city effdctively.
:17:07. > :17:11.Had we been able to stand hdre in Roman times we would have looked out
:17:12. > :17:15.over the heart of Roman Colchester. The Main Street runs along the line
:17:16. > :17:21.of the modern high street and to either side there would havd been
:17:22. > :17:25.workshops and luxury town houses. The population probably varhed but
:17:26. > :17:32.would always have been in the thousands rather than the htndreds.
:17:33. > :17:37.In 59, the Romans started btilding a temple in honour of the Empdror
:17:38. > :17:43.Claudius. It was by far the largest building in Britain at the time We
:17:44. > :17:49.are now going down to the foundations of the Roman telple of
:17:50. > :17:55.Claudius. This is Roman brickwork. It is an extremely important bit of
:17:56. > :18:05.wall. The temple was the centre of the emperor cult in Britain. And it
:18:06. > :18:11.is important because of how it relates to the Boadicea story. When
:18:12. > :18:14.Boadicea and her tribesman came down from the north and attacked
:18:15. > :18:22.Colchester, they received a lot of support. Boadicea sacked Colchester
:18:23. > :18:27.around 61, but the Romans rdbuilt the city and stayed for mord than
:18:28. > :18:33.300 years. Today the town is proud of their history, and the Romans
:18:34. > :18:34.almost 2000 years on are sthll a source of fascination for young and
:18:35. > :18:48.old. I have been looking at that period
:18:49. > :18:50.of time with my daughter and I have learned so much!
:18:51. > :18:55.If you live in a council hotse or rent from a housing association
:18:56. > :18:57.then there's nothing to stop you swapping your house for another one
:18:58. > :18:59.anywhere in the country. It's just a matter of going online,
:19:00. > :19:02.searching for the right property and `greeing
:19:03. > :19:05.a deal with the other tenants. The system is called House Dxchange.
:19:06. > :19:08.Every month it is used to arrange 1,700 moves across the country and
:19:09. > :19:10.it can even help you avoid what s become known as the bedroom tax
:19:11. > :19:28.This from Ian Barmer. This is my home and this is my
:19:29. > :19:34.kitchen and I have my living room with a small garden which is easy to
:19:35. > :19:44.maintain. Upstairs I have two bedrooms and a bathroom, whhch I
:19:45. > :19:47.have downsized from three bhds. She went online, tried house exchange
:19:48. > :19:52.and is now delighted with hdr new home. They give you feel details of
:19:53. > :19:57.what the property consists of and sometimes there are photos, and it
:19:58. > :20:06.gives you a map so you can see where it is. When her two children left
:20:07. > :20:10.home, she was by herself. Whth two unused bedrooms she would h`ve been
:20:11. > :20:15.worse off after the governmdnt went through the spare room subshdy. A
:20:16. > :20:20.month after seeing her housd for the first time online she had moved
:20:21. > :20:25.them. It is easy to do with no third parties involved. No pressure to
:20:26. > :20:31.take any property you are unhappy with, and the power lies with the
:20:32. > :20:35.two people exchanging. She rents through the Flagship Housing
:20:36. > :20:40.association in Norfolk and they had to agree to the house swap. Since
:20:41. > :20:45.the introduction of the bed and tax it has become a more popular route.
:20:46. > :20:49.It is speedier than standard applications and it allows `ll the
:20:50. > :20:54.power to go to the tenant and they can choose where they want to live
:20:55. > :20:57.and where they want to go to. Today there was a big house swap dvent
:20:58. > :21:04.with properties on offer and advice from experts. Many people h`ve come
:21:05. > :21:12.along with a shopping list. Ideally two beds, still in Aylsham, ground
:21:13. > :21:16.floor flat or bungalow or house It is a great scheme to allow people
:21:17. > :21:22.who are looking to move to be able to find that. At the moment, because
:21:23. > :21:27.of the pressure on social housing and the demand, it is actually hard
:21:28. > :21:32.for existing tenants to find a move and this gives them another
:21:33. > :21:39.opportunity to find that. In Norfolk alone, 22,000 people visit the
:21:40. > :21:41.website every month. It has been described as speed dating for social
:21:42. > :21:44.housing and it seems to be catching on.
:21:45. > :21:47.As you may have seen, the Essex and England crickdt
:21:48. > :21:50.captain Alastair Cook has rdpeated his determination to stay
:21:51. > :21:53.in charge of the national cricket side, despite a crushing defeat in
:21:54. > :21:55.the one day series against Hndia. But these are happier times
:21:56. > :21:57.for the women's game. Yes, Charlotte Edwards from
:21:58. > :22:05.Cambridgeshire leads her England side out at Northants this dvening.
:22:06. > :22:08.They are taking on South Africa in front of a packed house.
:22:09. > :22:09.And like the men, Charlotte and her teammates are now
:22:10. > :22:27.fully fledged professionals. As a role models go, you ard looking
:22:28. > :22:33.at one of English sport's fhnest. She has spearheaded a revolttion in
:22:34. > :22:36.the women's game. It has bedn an amazing 18 years of international
:22:37. > :22:44.cricket from starting playing in 1996, to being paid to play cricket
:22:45. > :22:50.and it is something I am very proud of. A journey of 18 years whth a few
:22:51. > :22:53.ups and downs along the way has been fantastic and they are memories I
:22:54. > :22:58.will treasure for the rest of my life. The memories began at age 16
:22:59. > :23:05.when she became the youngest to play for England. She took over the
:23:06. > :23:11.captaincy in 2006. Tours had to be paid for and leave booked, but this
:23:12. > :23:16.year, women's cricket turned professional. It is now a vhable
:23:17. > :23:21.career and she has been the face the name. A lot of people said xou came
:23:22. > :23:25.into the game at the wrong time but I feel incredibly proud to have
:23:26. > :23:32.played when I have, and I still feel I have three or four years to play.
:23:33. > :23:39.I can help keep the younger girls grounded than tell them stories
:23:40. > :23:44.about the past. I think she personifies what it is all `bout and

:25:06. > :25:22.The weather was good after ` cloudy start. We have a huge area of low
:25:23. > :25:28.pressure but through the end of the week, more cloud. Certainly cloud
:25:29. > :25:34.today with mist and fog patches and some of it was slow to clear. We are
:25:35. > :25:39.getting some dry in from thd east and eventually we some sunshine
:25:40. > :25:45.Clear spells to start with overnight tonight. Where we get gaps, some
:25:46. > :25:50.mist and fog be forming into the early hours of tomorrow morning Not
:25:51. > :25:59.great visibility and low cloud moving in. Temperature, that will be
:26:00. > :26:04.between 12 and 14, and a gentle southeasterly, so a cloudy start but
:26:05. > :26:10.stick with it. It will improve but some parts may be slow to clear but
:26:11. > :26:15.with a good prospect of things forming brighter. Particularly
:26:16. > :26:20.across the eastern half, sole clouds lingering and as it breaks `nd let
:26:21. > :26:24.the way, it will start to w`rm up and feeling pleasantly warm where we
:26:25. > :26:30.get sunshine so temperatures may get to 22 Celsius. The easterly breeze
:26:31. > :26:35.means we record cool temper`tures on the coast but if you get sttck in
:26:36. > :26:40.the cloud, it may start to break but it may get cooler until you get the
:26:41. > :26:47.sunshine. This is the presstre pattern and we want this to move
:26:48. > :26:53.eastwards, but later in the day on Friday, at the moment it looks as if
:26:54. > :27:00.it may be a cloudy start to the weekend, but Friday looks promising.
:27:01. > :27:03.Once more, Misty and cloudy, but it will break and cleared and we will
:27:04. > :27:10.see sunshine and feeling warm again on Friday. As of the day progresses,
:27:11. > :27:15.the weather front will head south words and that will introduce more
:27:16. > :27:21.cloud. As we get to the weekend we could end up staying rather cloudy
:27:22. > :27:26.but there is a good chance ht will break in places so temperattres
:27:27. > :27:31.could be higher. We only get sunshine it should warm up. Make the
:27:32. > :27:40.most of the sunshine, it cotld be cloudy by the weekend.
