There have been concerns expressed that cyber criminals will try | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
and buy up tickets to sell on the so`called secondary larket, | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
but organisers say they're working hard to make sure genuine f`ns are | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
In a moment, we speak to thd chief executive of the Rugby World Cup. | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
But, first, this report frol Mike Cartwright in Milton Kdynes. | :01:21. | :01:27. | |

The cheapest price for an adult is ?15 for one | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
If you want more, you can always pay. | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
25% of the stadium will be for those at the cheapest prices. | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
At a Dons game, the average crowd is 9,000. | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
The capacity of this stadiul is more than 30,000. | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
Come the Rugby World Cup, can they fill the seats? | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
The Rugby World Cup is coming, do you know about it? | :02:50. | :03:04. | |
Part of the stadium, this hotel where Fiji and Samoa will bd based. | :03:05. | :03:15. | |
Their presence here and the World Cup, good for MK. | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
I want to be sure everyone hn Milton Keynes can get a ticket, | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
The real legacy will be about young people, sport, | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
It will be about the spotlight on Milton Keynes, | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
Today, at Twickenham, the great and good lined up to | :03:33. | :03:40. | |
Come October, the rugby elite will be competing here. | :03:41. | :03:50. | |
Well, earlier we spoke to the chief executive of Engl`nd Rugby | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
2015, and first asked her why they had chosen Stadium MK as a venue. | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
We chose Stadium MK as a great venue. | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
Secondly, we have had fantastic support from the city | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
They are really excited about the event. | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
Aligned to that, it is accessible, easy for spectators to get there, | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
If you put that package togdther, it wasn't a difficult decishon. | :04:22. | :04:29. | |
People talk about the Rugby World Cup coming to England but it is | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
the regions it will affect, particularly around Milton Keynes. | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
What impact do you hope rugby can have? | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
To raise the profile of the regions within the country, | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
We have team bases there, a way to take rugby to the regions | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
We are looking for ideas whdre they can engage with the community. | :04:51. | :04:59. | |
We have the venues and teams going there so we can | :05:00. | :05:07. | |
Tickets, how worried are yot about the ticket prices? | :05:08. | :05:18. | |
They start as low as ?7, but go up to ?150. Are you worried | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
people who want to go may bd put off by the prices? | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
I've always said we have to be realistic. | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
I was passionate about keephng prices at the lower end | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
and ?7 is a good entry pricd for the under`16, ?15 for adults. | :05:34. | :05:41. | |
We had to align accessibility with the economics of raising | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
There are a lot of tickets that have fair prices. | :05:44. | :05:55. | |
It is an even spread for each of those categories. | :05:56. | :06:03. | |
When people look at the prices and the matches on offer, it is fair. | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
There has been talk about ticket touts, fears pdople | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
What I want to happen, we haven't got legislation, | :06:12. | :06:22. | |
we have put in place as many things as we can to ensure | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
those fans do get the opportunity to get to the games at face value. | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
In big events, not just sporting events, the touts will come in | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
and two minutes later they will be on ticket sites for a lot more. | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
That is why it is a fair ballot a maximum of four tickets per person. | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
A resell platform is through our own site. | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
The other thing I would say is the only way to be sure that ticket is | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
genuine, and valid for entrx, is if you buy through an official site. | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
The World Cup is certainly putting Milton Keynes on thd map. | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
Now, new plans are being considered which would see it grow to | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
The proposals are for another 38,000 houses. | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
and is looking at how the new town should dxpand | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
It's the latest stage in the town's remarkable development. | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
In 1967, Milton Keynes had a population of just 60,000. | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
At the last census in 2011, that figure had more than qtadrupled | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
In 12 years' time, it's set to grow again by another 5,000. | :07:34. | :07:43. | |
And, by 2031, the population could have reached 350,000. | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
Wherever you look, it is obvious this town is experiencing ydt | :07:46. | :07:57. | |
It is the biggest successes in the South East, | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
From someone who's lived all their life here, what was once | :08:01. | :08:07. | |
an expanse of green fields, now houses and factories, fantastic | :08:08. | :08:09. | |
MK has already identified several sites for more houshng. | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
If it wants to avoid development in the wrong areas, it has to have | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
We would be subject to hosthle developers who could proposd | :08:17. | :08:24. | |
building in the open countrxside and sensitive areas. | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
If you don't have the plan hn place, you do have hostile developlent | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
then you are obliged to givd consent to those. | :08:36. | :08:45. | |
38,000 houses are planned in the next 16 years. | :08:46. | :08:53. | |
The people who will live in these homes will also nedd jobs. | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
MK has never had a problem attracting companhes. | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
What makes Milton Keynes so attractive to businesses is | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
It is halfway between London and Birmingham, halfway | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
That means, within a 90`mintte drive, they can | :09:06. | :09:16. | |
In the last ten years, despite the recession, MK h`s | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
The challenge now is to continue that growth in business | :09:21. | :09:29. | |
PlanMK consultation runs until December. | :09:30. | :09:50. | |
A ?6 million pound state`of`the`art secondary school has been | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
The new Technical School is geared towards pupils who have | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
a strong interest in subjects such as engineering, electronics | :09:57. | :09:58. | |
It aims to build close links with local companies to offdr | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
It is the fifth secondary school to be | :10:02. | :10:10. | |
opened in Corby which is a fantastic town. | :10:11. | :10:12. | |
We hope we get great educathon throughout the town, | :10:13. | :10:14. | |
We recently achieved an outstanding in our Ofsted grading | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
in April this year, we are pleased to put ourselves officially | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
A campaign's begun to raise three quarters | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
of a million pounds to try to save a community garden in Peterborough. | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
The Green Backyard, near London Road, is used by people across the | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
The council owns the land, but wants to sell it to devdlopers | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
A real grassroots charity, that it how the Green Backy`rd | :10:39. | :10:49. | |
It has been running for five years but, now, | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
The input from the community has been huge. | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
We are now used by schools across the city, people frol outside | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
Volunteers, hundreds and thousands of pdople | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
throughout the year benefithng from this space in so many ways | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
The loss of people's hope and pride in what they invested is | :11:13. | :11:28. | |
Campaigners trying to save the gardens say the Governmdnt is | :11:29. | :11:30. | |
now also recognising the value that urban gardens can give. | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
There have been a number of reports looking at urban green spacds. | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
One from the Federation of Community Gardens which believes | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
they are so important they should be built in to city plans. | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
The council which owns the land says it had little choice whth | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
Funding from the Government to support these schemes is dwhndling. | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
We are having to look at assets in the council which are not | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
The ?24 million over five ydars we need to deliver, | :11:57. | :12:06. | |
The Green Backyard has six lonths to come up with the money, | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
otherwise it will be leaving here by next summer. | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
The number of prison officers at one of our maximum securhty | :12:20. | :12:21. | |
prisons is falling, despite a rise in the number of inm`tes | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
The figures from the Howard League for Penal Reform show the ntmber | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
of officers at HMP Woodhill near Milton Keynes has fallen to 290 | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
The Government insists staffing levels are safe for the number | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
But the charity believes safety could be compromised. | :12:34. | :12:41. | |
Cambridge University has succeeded in raising more than ?1 million to | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
The Codex Zacynthius is a Ndw Testament manuscript which features | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
It's been in the Cambridge University Library since 1984, and | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
it was offered first refusal when the manuscript owner wanted to sell. | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
Later, Alex is here with the weathdr. | :12:58. | :12:58. | |
Let's join Stewart and Susid now, for more from the region. | :12:59. | :13:21. | |
Still to come, Alex will be here with the weather. And what happens | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
when HCB vehicles take to the race track. | :13:25. | :13:25. | |
New figures released this wdek showed the growing number of people | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
It's often seen as a condithon which affects the elderly. | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
But Phil Barker got in touch to tell us about his wife Lisa, who was | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
diagnosed with early onset dementia two years ago at the age of 45. | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
Phil, who's from Norfolk, wanted us to tell Lisa's story. | :13:42. | :13:43. | |
That is Mike and Jane's swilming pool. Phil and Lisa Barker looking | :13:44. | :14:01. | |
at photographs of a summer holiday in America. Sadly, Lisa can't | :14:02. | :14:10. | |
remember nothing about it. @ll of us went to see Jane and Mike in Texas. | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
The holiday was two weeks ago. Lisa asks me what we're having to eat in | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
the evening and I will tell and then she will ask me again and again And | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
if I have to answer you 20 times, then I will answer you 20 thmes so | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
that short`term memory is the biggest indication of what hs going | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
on. Originally from Liverpool, Lisa was a nurse. She was diagnosed with | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
early onset Alzheimer's two years ago at the age of 45. Lisa `nd | :14:42. | :14:48. | |
Phil, the chief engineer in the car industry, have two sons aged 15 and | :14:49. | :14:56. | |
11. We get by with the support of our fantastic friends. Both other | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
families are up in Liverpool and the visit when they can, but certainly | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
with the friends we have got around us, in the immediate vicinity, we | :15:04. | :15:10. | |
have got many, many friends we can count on, we can call up anx time of | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
day or night. Surely lives opposite and she's a great help. I asked to | :15:16. | :15:23. | |
see some photographs and Lisa's Mum finds a wedding photo. Can xou | :15:24. | :15:34. | |
remember your wedding day? No. Lisa's eyes fill with tears, as they | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
often do. She is trying to remember something, anything, but shd can't. | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
Lisa's dad also had Alzheimdr's so it is particularly hard for her mum. | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
Well, I had noticed for somd time, but you hope against hope that it is | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
not happening. You can't believe it's happening again, and it's | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
heartbreaking. The thing th`t upsets me most is the boys, they h`ve lost | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
a loving mum. Because she w`s so good and cared so much. Now it has | :16:08. | :16:14. | |
all gone, really. She knows them and give them hugs, but something has | :16:15. | :16:27. | |
gone. We like laughing and joking, so that's still there. We'rd doing | :16:28. | :16:37. | |
better in some ways. Lisa c`n do very little now. She likes to watch | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
television, but even that appears to be a struggle. It is the kindness of | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
friends, families and health care professionals which keep Phhl and | :16:48. | :16:48. | |
Lisa going. Hugo de Waal is from Norfolk | :16:49. | :16:55. | |
Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust. He's one of the leading figtres | :16:56. | :16:57. | |
in dementia care. Particularly aggressive in xounger | :16:58. | :17:09. | |
people, dementia? It is. If someone gets it at 85 years old or hn their | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
40s, while there are many similarities in those situations, | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
the younger person will go ` far more destructive course of the older | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
son someone who is 85. We are seeing the figures are going up, I'll be | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
any closer to identifying what causes it or are we spotting it | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
earlier? There has been trelendous progress over the past 15 ydars We | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
now more about gene involvelent and all that sort of stuff, but what we | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
don't know yet quite is how the cascade of things that go wrong | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
leads to the illness in the end and we know it is not just one hllness, | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
it is many different forms. While there is a lot of progress, that is | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
still a lot to be done. I know you are looking at different waxs of | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
helping people through it. Tell me about some of those. In the absence | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
of a cure, what we're trying to do is maximise the sort of support we | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
can give to people who are living with the illness, and that leans we | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
try to put people in a position where they can to some degrde live | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
well with dementia. The main problem is after diagnosis, when people are | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
talking up the illness, then things go quiet, because specialist | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
services, health or social care then to spring into action when | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
things are really quite critical. But for many years, people will post | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
along as best as they can, trying to make the best of it, but without the | :18:38. | :18:44. | |
support and that is what we are looking to achieve. And you are | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
trying to find out a lot about their lives before dementia to help them | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
when they get it quite badlx. Precisely, because when people are | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
further into the illness, they can communicate about themselves as | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
easily as they did before, so we have a development called Mx Brain | :19:00. | :19:07. | |
Look, which tries to capturd essential information about a person | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
after diagnosis in a very friendly way. Music, personally history, the | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
things you don't want, the things you do want. That travels in the | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
system we are designing with the person as the illness progrdsses and | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
is accessible to carers, who might not be able to get to know xou as | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
well, but have this precise record of what makes you tick. | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
Life has rarely been dull for fans of Peterborough Unhted | :19:37. | :19:38. | |
They've enjoyed and endured three promotions and two | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
And at the moment they're top of the league. | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
So now is the time to build for the future. | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
The ground is being redeveloped and they are one | :19:48. | :19:49. | |
of the best clubs in the cotntry at finding and developing t`lent. | :19:50. | :19:58. | |
When it comes to recruiting talented young players, there is nobody | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
better. Darren Ferguson has become the master, finding rough dhamonds | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
in non`league, polishing thdm up to become a little gems in the football | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
league. You are not buying them to sell them immediately, you `re | :20:14. | :20:21. | |
buying them to have success. The players fully understand thdy get | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
the opportunity here and we don t stand on their way. Obviously, with | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
international weekend just gone we had about 23 scouts at our game so | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
that just choose people know we do well without younger players. Few | :20:37. | :20:49. | |
had heard of Aaron Maclean, George Boyd. Over 200 goals later, they | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
were sold for millions. It hs a policy that appears flawless. These | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
players cost less than ?3 mhllion. Beta brewers sold them on for around | :21:02. | :21:08. | |
?17 million. Their latest b`rgains scored five goals already this year. | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
What they are doing is brilliant and people like me are getting ` chance. | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
I don't want to rest on my laurels and settle here, I want to go on as | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
they are far can go, but for the time being, this is where I | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
differently want to be. Off the pitch, the finishing touches to the | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
newsstand. Seats will be installed soon and it should be open by the | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
end of September. With the team on the up, these reporters: Wh`t is a | :21:36. | :21:44. | |
mortal cup `` they need supporters to come and see their local club. | :21:45. | :21:53. | |
Peter Brewer needs championship football. They encompass will help | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
them become sustainable long`term. Right now, it is down to hil to get | :21:58. | :21:59. | |
them promoted. home tomorrow. In fact, all | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
of our league sides are in `ction. We'll have the goals | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
in our teatime bulletin on Sunday. Here's a sport we don't havd on Look | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
East very often ` truck rachng. When the sport started in the 1 80s, | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
they used just normal road`going But now the racers have | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
something more purpose` built. We're talking 1000 horsepowdr ` | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
capable of reaching 100mph. Jonathan Park has been to Snetterton | :22:26. | :22:27. | |
to see them in action. Trucks will never match sports cars | :22:28. | :22:46. | |
in the glamour stakes, but when it comes to sheer horsepower, there's a | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
lorry load here. What is thd secret to driving something as big as this | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
round a track? It is all about momentum. It is five and a half | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
tonnes of wheat, you have jtst over 1000 horsepower, but once you have | :23:01. | :23:10. | |
slowed that either as an most of the racers are hauliers during the week. | :23:11. | :23:23. | |
These trucks might have been the ugly ducklings of motor sport, but | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
I'm told they can fly. Stew`rt didn't waste any time showing me | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
what his machine could be c`pable of, which is quite impressive. A | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
normal truck has around 500 horsepower. These are doubld. Zero | :23:38. | :23:44. | |
`60 quicker than a portion. `` Porsche. I wanted to try racing | :23:45. | :24:02. | |
and I choose truck racing. H really took to it. Ryan was throwing his | :24:03. | :24:11. | |
wife in around with plenty of enthusiasm today's practice | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
session. Those watching the racing this weekend can expect thrhlls and | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
spills, but least because the grid is decided by reversing the results | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
of the previous threes. The quickest start at the back. Generallx, when | :24:26. | :24:33. | |
somebody comes with an eagld, they're not here very long. The | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
trucks race five times over the weekend and the British | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
Championships, when friendship in the paddock gets put on hold for | :24:42. | :24:48. | |
some no holds barred racing. It looks like fun. But then solebody | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
would ask me to have a go and I don't want to do. | :24:53. | :24:53. | |
Let's get the weather. And going to start the beautiful | :24:54. | :25:04. | |
photograph showing the Northern lights across Norfolk. Therd is a | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
very small chance we could see them tonight. If you do get out, look | :25:08. | :25:15. | |
North and make sure you are away from any light pollution and let us | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
know if you get lucky, parthcularly if you get any photographs. The | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
cloud cloud is a benefit today. We have recorded pleasant tempdratures | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
for September, a lovely sunny afternoon. We ended a fine with | :25:31. | :25:39. | |
breaking cloud. Around 1am hs the best time to catch a glance of the | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
Northern lights if they are there. But then it starts to get cloudy and | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
there could be missed and folk actions. If there are clouds, it | :25:49. | :25:59. | |
could go a few degrees lower. Restart the weekend on a cloudy | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
note. But then it looks likd it will shift and it doesn't look that the | :26:04. | :26:18. | |
bad forecast. Cooler temper`tures might be recorded at the co`st, but | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
it is looking like a reason`ble day, if a little cloudy at times. Looking | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
ahead to Sunday, a slight shift with the weather pattern. You'll notice | :26:28. | :26:34. | |
the breeze more on Sunday, but it does look like it'll stay l`rgely | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
dry and bright. There are shgns it could turn quite unsettled by | :26:40. | :26:47. | |
Monday. But Sunday looks re`sonable. The risk of showers as we gdt to the | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
start of next week and by mhd week, Edwards is all it will turn quite | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
unsettled, but before then, we have reasonable September sunshine and | :26:57. | :26:58. | |
temperatures. Sunday Politics returns this weekend | :26:59. | :27:11. | |
at 11 a.m.. Have a good weekend. | :27:12. | :27:15. |
