:00:08. > :00:09.Flights suspended and the terminal evacuated.
:00:10. > :00:12.The bomb squad is called to a major security alert at Luton airport.
:00:13. > :00:31.Also tonight: our reporters at Luton and Stansted
:00:32. > :00:33.Police open another investigation into alleged abuse at a former

:00:56. > :00:58.remarkable story of Harrison, whose parents were advised to switch off
:00:59. > :01:04.his life`support machine when he was just four weeks old.
:01:05. > :01:06.First tonight a full scale security alert has just
:01:07. > :01:09.been called off at Luton Airport, after a suspect package was blown
:01:10. > :01:13.Armed police were called to the scene this afternoon.
:01:14. > :01:15.The airport was evacuated and flights diverted to other
:01:16. > :01:19.We'll be talking to our reporter Louise Hubball
:01:20. > :01:23.at Stansted in a moment, first let's go live to Luton and get
:01:24. > :01:38.Within the last 15 to 20 minutes, the airport has begun to reopen. The
:01:39. > :01:43.police cordons have disappeared and the emergency service vehicles have
:01:44. > :01:48.finally drifted away. Flights have started taking off although they
:01:49. > :01:52.appeared to be private aviation jets. Earlier today, there were no
:01:53. > :01:59.incoming flights, nothing landing here because after 1:30pm, a
:02:00. > :02:02.suspicious package was found in a security search area. The bomb
:02:03. > :02:07.disposal team were called in and they carried out a controlled
:02:08. > :02:13.explosion, just after 5pm. It does appear that on this occasion, it was
:02:14. > :02:18.a false alarm. It looks as though the police are
:02:19. > :02:23.not taking any chances, are they? Certainly not. Remember, the UK's
:02:24. > :02:27.threat level has recently been increased. The days away from the
:02:28. > :02:33.anniversary of the September the 11th bombings. These are well
:02:34. > :02:37.rehearsed plans for airports around the country and Luton is no
:02:38. > :02:45.exception. Luton is slightly different in that there is a one
:02:46. > :02:50.runway, one terminal airport. Flights have to be diverted and
:02:51. > :02:59.passengers have to be taken away from the terminal.
:03:00. > :03:03.It's slightly different now as people are making their way to the
:03:04. > :03:12.terminals. Earlier, people were sitting on these banks, waiting for
:03:13. > :03:16.news. We arrived at the roundabout and we were not let out. We were
:03:17. > :03:27.diverted back to the town centre of Luton. There was a situation here.
:03:28. > :03:34.We don't know anything. We were queueing up for food and we saw
:03:35. > :03:38.everyone being evacuated. We didn't know what was going on and they told
:03:39. > :03:42.us to get out. Although the airport is reopening, it's going to be an
:03:43. > :03:48.exceptionally difficult evening for passengers. Tomorrow will be pretty
:03:49. > :03:52.awful as well. EasyJet say they have cancelled 12 flights tonight. A
:03:53. > :03:58.difficult day for passengers at Luton.
:03:59. > :04:02.Louise flights have been diverted to the airport this
:04:03. > :04:15.The message here is that there is no impact. All flights are rowing to
:04:16. > :04:21.reschedule, I'm told. Also, although, as you mention, six planes
:04:22. > :04:24.were diverted to Stansted, there doesn't appear to have been any
:04:25. > :04:30.knock`on impact to the timetable from that. The airport tells me they
:04:31. > :04:34.deal with 60,000 passengers a day. That's around 600 flights. Those
:04:35. > :04:37.extra six planes have not made much of a difference. What is
:04:38. > :04:41.interesting, having spent the afternoon here, as people have
:04:42. > :04:44.landed, they got off the plane, check their phone for the latest
:04:45. > :04:50.news and they've heard about what has happened. They have been worried
:04:51. > :04:51.and so from that point of view, this has had a knock`on impact for all
:04:52. > :04:54.air passengers. A fourth investigation has been
:04:55. > :04:56.launched into allegations of abuse at an old children's home
:04:57. > :04:58.in Bedfordshire. Police now believe there could
:04:59. > :05:03.hundreds The police themselves first looked
:05:04. > :05:07.into claims of abuse at St Francis boys' home more than 20 years ago
:05:08. > :05:10.but no one has ever been charged. Our home affairs correspondent
:05:11. > :05:24.Sally Chidzoy reports. Surrounded by boys, priest Father
:05:25. > :05:27.John Ryan, now dead comedy is at the of abuse allegations, along with
:05:28. > :05:33.other clergy and staff at the home in Beds. It was inside this old
:05:34. > :05:38.building that the victims say they were sexually, emotionally and
:05:39. > :05:45.physically abused in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. All three previous
:05:46. > :05:48.investigations came to nothing. But now police have revealed to
:05:49. > :05:55.surviving suspects have been identified. Our main focus now is to
:05:56. > :06:00.concentrate on suspects that are still alive. I've got a small team
:06:01. > :06:06.working with me and my aim is to gain sufficient evidence to charge
:06:07. > :06:10.those individuals and for them to be brought to justice. Detectives say
:06:11. > :06:14.they believe what went on in this place was horrendous. This fresh
:06:15. > :06:19.investigation will focus not only on new alleged victims that have made
:06:20. > :06:22.contact with police but ex`residents and witnesses, including those who
:06:23. > :06:31.first cave statements two decades ago. We have 34 victims that have
:06:32. > :06:35.come forward, to date. We have in excess of 70 potential witnesses to
:06:36. > :06:39.speak to. In recent days, we have had more victims come forward. We
:06:40. > :06:44.could be looking at several hundred victims coming forward. There will
:06:45. > :06:48.be quite a percentage of those will be giving evidence against suspects
:06:49. > :06:51.who are deceased but is only when we speak to these people at length that
:06:52. > :06:56.we can then identify the suspect is still alive. Police have so far
:06:57. > :06:59.traced some alleged victims across Europe, the United States and
:07:00. > :07:03.Australia. Detectives believe many more victims have yet to come
:07:04. > :07:06.forward to help unlock the dark and damaging secrets at Saint Francis
:07:07. > :07:10.boys home. When the investigation was closed
:07:11. > :07:14.last November, former residents said Earlier tonight I asked one of them,
:07:15. > :07:17.David Cox, how he felt about today's news that
:07:18. > :07:29.the police were reopening the case. I think the best way to describe
:07:30. > :07:37.today's muses frustratingly happy. Frustrating, because it is the third
:07:38. > :07:40.investigation, or now before. We've had three investigations since the
:07:41. > :07:47.early 1990s and all of them have come to nothing. I am happy because
:07:48. > :07:51.it is now being led by a senior investigator with a dedicated team
:07:52. > :07:56.and it seems as though they will go back to square one and investigate
:07:57. > :08:00.fully, right from the very first investigation. Hopefully, no stone
:08:01. > :08:03.will be unturned. In going back to the beginning, it is very likely
:08:04. > :08:06.that you and other residents will have to face going through your
:08:07. > :08:14.statements yet again. How do you feel about that? And necessary evil,
:08:15. > :08:20.I think the best way to describe it. I have to keep revisiting the same
:08:21. > :08:24.subject and it is slightly traumatic. Under the circumstances,
:08:25. > :08:31.if we can get closure out of it, one way or another, I think it is a
:08:32. > :08:35.necessary evil. It has to be done. You have said before that you were
:08:36. > :08:46.very seriously physically abused. You were beaten. Yeah. What happened
:08:47. > :08:52.at the home, at the hands of the priests and nuns, was brutality. It
:08:53. > :08:56.wasn't corporal punishment. It was absolutely brutal. Children were
:08:57. > :09:00.punched in the face. They were caned until they bled on their backsides
:09:01. > :09:07.and the tops of their legs. They were kicked. They were thrown
:09:08. > :09:13.through doors. You know, it is very, very hard when I meet up with the
:09:14. > :09:21.other old boys to listen to some of the stories and my own abuse. Do you
:09:22. > :09:31.think that the likes of operation you tree and the fact the spotlight
:09:32. > :09:38.is very much of... `` Operation Yewtree. I think the fact that this
:09:39. > :09:44.operation, which involved Jimmy Savile, which I might have had
:09:45. > :09:48.connections with my home, the fact that became a such a high`profile
:09:49. > :09:54.case and that so many celebrities have been into this operation, it
:09:55. > :10:00.has had more prominence on the news and the social media. Yes, it has
:10:01. > :10:04.reached out to a lot more people. People who may well have not
:10:05. > :10:07.bothered to do anything about it are now looking into it themselves and
:10:08. > :10:13.saying, yes, in actual fact, I was at that place and I was abused. Yes,
:10:14. > :10:23.I think I will come forward. The police want anybody with a think
:10:24. > :10:24.can help to contact them in confidence or
:10:25. > :10:50.lorries queueing at the level crossing near Ely station. Cars can
:10:51. > :10:55.use the underpass but high vehicles have to wait for the barriers to go
:10:56. > :11:01.up. At the busiest times, that causes congestion. Councillors have
:11:02. > :11:05.new dash now approved a new bypass. We get so much heavy traffic come
:11:06. > :11:14.this way and it is the only sensible solution. It is needed but it is a
:11:15. > :11:19.shame in a way. I'm thinking of the view and the wildlife. I have been
:11:20. > :11:23.here for 50 years and that would be the best thing that has ever
:11:24. > :11:27.happened. This is the view of Ely Cathedral that you see as you
:11:28. > :11:29.approach the city from the south. Some people fear building the bypass
:11:30. > :11:35.would ruin that view for ever. Others say it would help to reduce
:11:36. > :11:45.congestion, shorten journey times and bring economic benefits. It is
:11:46. > :11:52.violent dash vital for the wider community. We have had people here
:11:53. > :11:59.who talk about being held up by the railway. The rail industry went more
:12:00. > :12:04.trains to go from Ely. Something has to happen and this is the something.
:12:05. > :12:12.The new bypass would be one long, crossing the river. Some people
:12:13. > :12:18.remain strongly opposed to the idea. Naturally, English Heritage is
:12:19. > :12:23.disappointed about the outcome of today's meeting and the decision of
:12:24. > :12:26.the County Council's planning committee, who have been minded to
:12:27. > :12:32.approve the application, as we believe there is not a
:12:33. > :12:36.justification. Opponents say there are alternatives, such as making the
:12:37. > :12:39.existing underpass bigger so all vehicles could use it. Arguments
:12:40. > :12:44.like this have prompted Eric pickles to step in, meaning the final
:12:45. > :12:53.decision could be out of the County Council 's hands. `` Eric Pickles.

:12:57. > :12:58.Two more University Technical Colleges are
:12:59. > :13:02.There are now sites in Harlow, Silverstone, Daventry and
:13:03. > :13:06.a brand new one on the Cambridge Biomedical campus near Addenbrookes
:13:07. > :13:16.The new term has begun but these classrooms still are not ready. For
:13:17. > :13:19.the time being, the students are being taught off site but they are
:13:20. > :13:26.among the first batch to join the new technical college. These are the
:13:27. > :13:30.super labs. It's a bridge between school and the world of work. It is
:13:31. > :13:37.so big and I think it is totally amazing. When I saw the offer of a
:13:38. > :13:40.school that specialises in biomedical science, I thought this
:13:41. > :13:47.is the opportunity for me. It's a major stepping stone between school
:13:48. > :13:50.and industry. It will give me experience with employers. There are
:13:51. > :13:54.brilliant links here with Adam Brooks and other external companies
:13:55. > :13:57.and businesses so I can definitely get into the science industry that
:13:58. > :14:02.way, to the opportunities that I will have. For years, employers have
:14:03. > :14:08.complained that schools were not turning out work ready students but
:14:09. > :14:13.today the government continued to roll out its cancers. Students
:14:14. > :14:18.joined them at age 16 and do normal GCSEs but in addition, they are
:14:19. > :14:24.taught technical subjects. In this case, biomedical and environmental
:14:25. > :14:28.science and technology. We have state`of`the`art laboratories, way
:14:29. > :14:34.beyond even a first year university student would see. Our model is that
:14:35. > :14:40.we learn that the academics and apply them in real life challenge
:14:41. > :14:44.projects so that students are thinking and having to delve into
:14:45. > :14:49.the depths of the subject. Students here will work from 8:30am to 5pm,
:14:50. > :14:57.another nod towards the world of work. Another one is due in
:14:58. > :15:00.Peterborough next year. Work is continuing here and across three
:15:01. > :15:06.floors of this new technical College, which is almost the size of
:15:07. > :15:09.Old Trafford. Those patterns on the front represent viruses, one of the

:17:03. > :17:05.families to be able to access the two`year`old funding. However,
:17:06. > :17:09.there's a slight worry that the nurseries, you know, we may expand
:17:10. > :17:12.too big and then won't be able to provide the quality for what the
:17:13. > :17:21.two`year`olds need to be able to develop. Under new law, over 250,000
:17:22. > :17:25.two`year`olds from middle income families can have 15 hours a week
:17:26. > :17:31.free childcare. In some areas, increased demand could be met with a

:17:38. > :17:42.funding but less than 900 active registered child minders, a drop
:17:43. > :17:46.from 1200. The main reason people report to us they've left is all the
:17:47. > :17:49.recording of the development meaning they can't spend precious time with

:18:25. > :18:30.regulation, then it's changed again. It's the constant rolling of paper

:19:27. > :19:32.Facebook. I kept thinking every day it would get better and better but
:19:33. > :19:36.it got worse and worse. Her face, eyes and nose, just swollen. I could
:19:37. > :19:40.hear her struggling to swallow. I thought at one point that I was not
:19:41. > :19:44.going to be here for much longer, trying to breathe and knowing how
:19:45. > :19:49.that feels is absolutely petrifying. I was crying, I was scared, I didn't
:19:50. > :19:58.know what the final outcome was doing to be. When the consultant
:19:59. > :20:04.said she would need an extensive eye test, I was really scared.
:20:05. > :20:07.The British Association of Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology also
:20:08. > :20:10.wants the industry regulated to protect customers.
:20:11. > :20:20.Earlier Carolyn Cross from BABTAC told me Harleigh's injuries were
:20:21. > :20:28.Preventible. You are told that clients coming for any sort of
:20:29. > :20:31.tinting should have a patch test done at least 24 hours before they
:20:32. > :20:34.have the treatments. That doesn't matter whether a Klein's been having
:20:35. > :20:40.this treatment done for years, if they go to a new salon, that still
:20:41. > :20:45.should test them. So without any regulation, does it mean anyone
:20:46. > :20:49.without any proper training could set up a beauty salon? Very sad to
:20:50. > :20:53.say but that is the case at the moment. I trained over 35 years ago.
:20:54. > :20:59.It's a different industry now as it was then. The beauty industry is
:21:00. > :21:02.stepping into more advanced cosmetic treatments and therefore some sort
:21:03. > :21:06.of regulation does need to be looked at. The consumer needs that
:21:07. > :21:08.protection so I'm hoping things will change in the future and the
:21:09. > :21:11.Government will become more aware of this.
:21:12. > :21:15.Why do you think up until now the Government's been reluctant to do
:21:16. > :21:18.anything? I think because of the way beauty treatments have been viewed
:21:19. > :21:23.perhaps, you know, often people think that a beauty salon will offer
:21:24. > :21:26.a manicure, med cure, now we are seeing them offering more advanced
:21:27. > :21:32.treatments and the training behind them is critical. They need to have
:21:33. > :21:37.the correct qualifications and standards behind them so they can
:21:38. > :21:44.get the correct insurance to protect themselves and the consumers. People
:21:45. > :21:48.watching, what should they look for when they go to a salon for the
:21:49. > :21:52.first time? I'm really glad you have asked this question, I'll often say
:21:53. > :21:56.when you go into a salon, don't be frightened to ask, do they have
:21:57. > :22:00.qualified staff, have a look out for the qualifications. Quite a few may
:22:01. > :22:04.put their qualifications on the wall behind reception, so don't be
:22:05. > :22:09.apprehensive to ask the questions. The salon should be proud to say
:22:10. > :22:12.yes, my staff are qualified, they have recognised qualifications. That
:22:13. > :22:18.then should be reassuring the client that they are in safe hands. If by
:22:19. > :22:23.any chance they have a bad reaction to something like Harleigh did, what
:22:24. > :22:26.should they do? They certain shrill should contact the salon
:22:27. > :22:30.straightaway and they should offer you good support. If they are
:22:31. > :22:33.qualified, verified and insured, they will be able to give customers
:22:34. > :22:52.correct advice and guidance needed. Now a story about a child taken
:22:53. > :22:55.seriously ill soon after he was born when she was four weeks old. The
:22:56. > :22:59.parents of Harrison Greater Manchester were adviced by doctors
:23:00. > :23:05.that it was time to switch off his life support machine `` Harrison
:23:06. > :23:08.Grahame. He had meningitis and there were fears he could be severely
:23:09. > :23:12.brain damaged. Now this week, he's starting school. Like any
:23:13. > :23:16.four`year`old, Harrison's full of energy and, like any parents, his
:23:17. > :23:20.mother's anxious about him starting school. Kelly's trepidation is mixed
:23:21. > :23:27.with pride because things could have been so different.
:23:28. > :23:31.When he was a baby, Harrison developed group B meningitis. Within
:23:32. > :23:36.weeks, they faced a terrible decision. When you hear that word
:23:37. > :23:40.you go into complete panic. It's the end of the world, it's devastating.
:23:41. > :23:44.He had hundreds of wires coming out of his head with a knitted hat. The
:23:45. > :23:48.doctors spoke to us and told us that, in their experience, a child
:23:49. > :23:53.having that amount of medication would only be able to breathe for
:23:54. > :23:58.himself, he wouldn't hear, see, walk or talk, he'd be trapped in his own
:23:59. > :24:02.body. Great Ormond Street Hospital advised they switch off the life
:24:03. > :24:08.support machine. They cried a lot, talked a lot, saw a psychologist and
:24:09. > :24:13.told their family. But the day they went to say goodbye, Harrison
:24:14. > :24:18.started breathing for himself. It was Harrison, our little boy, who
:24:19. > :24:23.is a complete fighter, an amazing child and a little miracle and he
:24:24. > :24:27.done it all by himself. Four years on, Harrison's like any other child,
:24:28. > :24:31.looking up to his big brother and copies everything he does. His
:24:32. > :24:36.family can't believe how lucky they are to see him go to school. It's a
:24:37. > :24:44.huge transition for me, but an amazing moment. We are so proud of
:24:45. > :24:49.him. He's recovered more than what I thought. Someone to play with and
:24:50. > :24:53.argue with. Harrison's favourite thing at the moment is his new toy
:24:54. > :24:57.tractor and spending time with his brother. They may argue
:24:58. > :25:02.occasionally, but even that is something the family is grateful
:25:03. > :25:06.for! Isn't that just a great story. A
:25:07. > :25:10.lovely story. Quite emotional.
:25:11. > :25:15.Let's get on with the weather. I'm going to start off by saying
:25:16. > :25:19.thank you to Steve for sending in this amazing picture of the morning
:25:20. > :25:24.mist and sunshine. Many of us will be waking up to
:25:25. > :25:40.scenes like this tomorrow morning. Let's take a look at today's highs.
:25:41. > :25:46.It was cooler on the coast with the on shore wind. Loads of sunshine
:25:47. > :25:50.around today with hardly a cloud in the sky for much of the day. We are
:25:51. > :25:54.starting to see thicker cloud move down from the north though. We'll
:25:55. > :25:59.have areas of cloud around tonight but a lot of clear skies too. Some
:26:00. > :26:04.mist and perhaps dense fog patches for some of us. A range of
:26:05. > :26:08.temperatures, a lot of the values will be where we have built up
:26:09. > :26:14.areas, so anything between nine and 12. In some rural spots, we could
:26:15. > :26:18.drop down to a chilly five. We have the very light winds too. It may
:26:19. > :26:22.take a while for the mist and fog to clear. We have high pressure in
:26:23. > :26:24.charge so it means a dry start to the day even though it will be
:26:25. > :26:35.chilly. Another try day with decent sunny
:26:36. > :26:41.spells. Temperatures at best around 19,
:26:42. > :26:48.perhaps 20. Inland, we could see again around 22. A light
:26:49. > :26:51.east`to`north`east wind. On shore around the coast, temperatures will
:26:52. > :26:54.be a degree or so lower here and we finish the day dry and fine with
:26:55. > :27:02.some seeing more sunshine than others. That sets the scene for the
:27:03. > :27:07.rest of the week. The amount of sunshine will affect
:27:08. > :27:11.the temperatures. We may see something higher than 18 on
:27:12. > :27:14.Wednesday and Thursday. We keep light winds and these are
:27:15. > :27:20.your overnight lows. Rural spots will probably stay on the chilly
:27:21. > :27:25.side. I've got a charity golf tomorrow.
:27:26. > :27:27.Looks all right! It does. Lucky you. Goodbye.
