the web. In the middle, Isaac Stone

and the rap video he made. Just hour after it was seen

on the web, the teenager was surrounded, beaten, stabbed

on a suburban Bedford street. Viciously attacked with him,

his friend, a meat cleaver Today, these two men were

found guilty for his attack. Two of four all found guiltx

but Isaac was my son. He was always that loveable, cheeky

young person that everybody would say to him when say s`w him,

I saw your Isaac and he gavd me The judge described the att`ck

and vicious and merciless. He said the background was tnclear,

but the video posted on YouTube was If these young men feel as

if they're untouchable, here is a case that helps to explain

and hopefully sends a clear message You are accountable for your actions

and I certainly don't want to be sat in the same position again where I

have got a grieving mother for a young son that has been killed with

a knife and another set of parents who are looking

at their young son being locked up Isaac Stone became interestdd

in rap music aged 15. He was

the school's first prefect, a grade A student, Dynamikk a

nickname for his football skills. It was

a testament to Isaac that that 00 people turned up do his his funeral

joined by family, teachers `nd so Everyone spoke of how politd Isaac

was and how he would always takd time to

speak to people, no matter where he Two brothers are

among the guilty four. Why these men carried out

the attack isn't fully known. Some sort of retaliation th`t took a

teenager, a talented rapper's life. In court the video was described as

a drunken filmed deliberately provocative. The filmed on the

streets close to where the would be attackers lived. You see drhnk being

sprayed on graffiti which s`ys somebody name. Who that is has not

been confirmed to anyone. Btt the judge said it was a reminder of the

dangers when knives fall into the hands of young people. Thank you.

Addenbrookes Hospital has rdvealed more details of

its operation to reassure f`milies who may have been in contact with

More details have emerged today of the operation.

The child cancer consultant faces a long prison sentence

after pleading guilty to 25 counts that include sexual assault of 8

800 families have been contacted amid fears more

A master manipulator, Myles Bradbury groomed his young patients

He may well have gone the extra mile to spend mord time

And people would have looked at that and said: isn't he a great surgeon,

He's going out of his way to spend a lot of time with these kids.

But his ulterior motive is to have more contact with them in private.

This mother will never know if her son was one of Bradbtry's

Declan, who was three, died from leukaemia.

His treatment at Addenbrookes lasted over a year.

Her shock echoes that of hundreds of families whose children were

Having cancer is not a nice thing, when you see how ill those children

are and the effects the drugs have on them and then

for him to do things like that is just the lowest of the low.

Addenbrookes Hospital sent this letter about Bradbury to

800 families, almost 200 calls have been made to its hotline.

30 since yesterday when he `ppeared in court.

He was caught after the grandmother of a patient called the hospital at

around the same time Suffolk police raided his house and arrestdd him

They passed the investigation to Cambridgeshire.

Experts in child abuse say there needs to be a greater awareness

It would need a lot more tr`ining and I think all people across all

forms of society ` parents, teachers, health care professionals

` need more support, they nded more education in grooming, so they can

recognise it because quite frankly if we can't recognise

the signs of grooming, we cant protect our children.

Myles Bradbury's youngest known hospital victim was aged eight.

He's been told by the judge he faces a long prison sentencd.

John Cameron is the Head of Child Protection at the NSPCC `

I asked him how rare the situation with Miles Bradbury is?

This is a Degraceful misuse of the trust that has been invested in

Bradbury. He took advantage to abuse some of the most vulnerable children

in our society for his own self sexual gratification. It is shocking

and unsatisfactory and thankfully though it continues to be a rare

event. The hospital says th`t Myles Bradbury manipulated the ch`perone

system. Are the rules for Shap roaming strict enough? Clearly they

are challenging for medical services who have work with children in an

intimate way in terms of thdir treatment. But what we have got to

do is wait until the serious case review that will be held to see if

there is any particular findings that come out in any recommdndations

that can be made. The medic`l staff were shocked by his behaviotr. And

they were duped by him. So ly initial thoughts are that they are

doing everything possible to make sure that children are safeguarded.

Is the government working h`rd enough. It seems there no sdt policy

with this. It is up to each individual trust. We would hnvite

any discussions to be had bdtween government and the hospital trust to

ensure that the child protection policies are adequate. How difficult

ditz become when you have pdrhaps a teenager, if they don't want a

stranger sitting in there whth them, what are you supposed to do as a

parent? I think as a parent you have got to talk to your medical staff to

make sure that the best tre`tment is available. Obviously, you instill

trust in that professional to make sure that if they do have an

intimate examination of your child they do so in a safe way. None of

those parents I feel sure fdlt Bradbury was a Ras risk to their

children. We find these indhviduals are very cunning and clever in how

they cover up their tracks. That is the difficulty for a parent, because

you do trust the doctor, particularly one who you believe is

trying to save your child's life. How you say, sorry I'm not leaving.

I'm sure the medical staff hf they have the bell being of your child at

heart will listen to your whshes and there no reason why parents should

not be present in some of examinations. But when therd is a

17`year`old for instance, who is undergoing that type of a mddical

examination they may feel embarrassed about their pardnts

being present. So I think for the parent they need to make sure that

there is a proper system in place in their absence so their child is

safeguarded. But the key message that we need to get out is this is a

rare vent. Most doctors and practitioners are doing thehr best

to safeguard children and if you have any concerns you need to raise

that with the health authorhty and if you have concerns about the

welfare of your child in anx setting, you can call the NSPCC for

advice as well. John Cameron talking earlier.

A day centre in Wellingborotgh which had been threatened with closure,

In June, the local council recommended that Glamis Hall `

which cares for elderly people ` was too expensive to keep open.

But after a fierce campaign, councillors are now looking again

No one could doubt that this centre has seen better days.

But when it was suggested its days could be numbered,

Sarah's mum uses the centre twice a week and the decision to close it

Nothing I said or did helped in any way.

It was absolutely sleepless nights and just such stress that it put

After a campaign which saw over 10,000 signatures

gathered on a petition, tonhght a committee will assess sevdral new

options, including a reduced service in another building.

The management of the centre could be transferred to a

The site could be sold and a new centre built and still

on the table full closure and an end today care services.

We are not asking for a brand`new building.

A 45 years old building does need repairs.

To have it refurbished would be fantastic.

The council says it has followed procedures,

but says it could have handled the situation more sensitivdly.

Which by law we are not required to consult.

But you say you don't have to consult.

We don't think, we are think we are OK

The important consultation was actually with the users of the hall

and we have been out of talk to at least 1616 of them out of 15 .

The campaigners told me that regardless of the outcome

of the meeting, the fact that the council is now

reconsidering its decision on Glamis Hall is a victory for peopld power.

An appeal to find two men who raped a woman at a raceway in Bedfordshire

is being broadcast on Crimewatch tonight. The 20`year`old was

attacked at Santa Pod after spending the day at the Dragstagia event

Police are trying to make contact with a man she spent time whth

earlier that evening. Anna Todd reports.

A young woman enjoying a dax out at Santa Pod race way. But the crime

Watch reconstruction takes ` terrifying turn. The woman seen

before she is rained. The vhctim spent time in the bar that night and

left with an acquaintance c`lled Darren at about 1am. She walked him

to his tent and left around half an hour later. As she went off site,

she was grabbed by the hair and seriously assaulted by two white

men. That is all the inform`tion police have about the offenders But

they believe the man called Darren may hold valuable information. He is

thought to be from the Wellingborough area. They urge him

to get in touch. It has been a difficult investigation and it is

hoped tonight's appeal may bring forward new witnesses who wdre at

the event in July. It was stch a large event, there were over 4, 00

people there. A number left very early in the morning. As a result,

we have not had a chance to speak to all the witnesses in the case, that

we know are out there. Once we have spoke to all the witnesses, we hope

the events will become clearer and that should lead us to the hdentity

of the perpetrators. Some of the revellers may not even know an

investigation is taking place. This new appeal could be the key to

finding Ute who is responsible. In football there's a full programme

of Football League action this evening. In League One. Petdrborough

could go top with an away whn at Gillingham. Third place MK Dons who

scored five at the weekend, are at home to Bradford. In League Two

Cambridge and Northampton are both at home. The U's face Exeter, while

the Cobblers entertain Hartlepool. Stevenage are away at Bury `nd Luton

are at York. There'll be coverage on your local BBC Radio Station. And

I'll have the results on Look East An ancient Egyptian coffin lid that

was auctioned near Cambridgd at the weekend for ?12,000 could

appear at a private museum. The 6 foot 5 inches tall Egxptian

artefact is believed to be `lmost 3,000 years old and was discovered

during a house clearance. It was owned by big adventurer

and journalist Captain Tiger Sarll, The new owner didn't want to be

named, but intends to place it Five continents in 380 days

and all for charity. The police have released dr`matic

pictures of a police car being rammed bx another

car in which two suspected burglars Police forces across

the region are now searching for the Luke Wall and Teresa Connors,

both in their early twenties, are thought to have broken into scores

of homes and taken at least ?50 ,000 If police walks towards the

passenger door of a car, but he has to jump clear as the car suddenly

reverses, Rams and the police car and speeds off. This time, hn

Cambridgeshire, I police motorcyclist wants to questhon the

occupants of another car. As he gets off his bike, it is rammed.

The drivers stopped to make sure he's OK. An awful experiencd for the

officers, absolutely awful. I wouldn't want to offend those

officers. They were placed hn danger. Lucky doesn't descrhbe how

they got away with not being injured. It really was that close to

being potentially killed. 20`year`old Luke Wall is thought to

have been in both cars. Polhce say he is on the run with his

girlfriend, 23`year`old mother of three Teresa Connors. Luke Wall was

released on bail on a chargd of conspiracy to burgle. But hd broke

his terms of bail. Teresa Connors is also been released on bail. She was

meant to attend a police st`tion on August 13, but she didn't ttrn up.

Police believe that she left her children with family so she could be

with Luke Wall. There are scores of houses that have been targeted.

There were valuable stolen tp to ?500,000. Why would you say to

friends and family of them? Give them up. Why are you harborhng

offenders? But this video shows the risks they may take two avohd

capture. Here in the east, we are very good

at things like bio`science, And we are one

of the biggest centres for distribution, with lots of huge

warehouses full of goods wahting to One of the biggest,

the Sainsbury?s depot in Bedford, It handles the supermarket's own

brand clothing, Our business correspondent Richard

Bond has been allowed a look inside. There are some bizarre placds

in this region, Being here is like watching an army

on the march, except there `re no shouted orders, just a procdssion

of fashion items making its way It's ten years ago today th`t

Sainsbury's started selling its own`brand clothing and ht has

certainly shaken up the rag trade. It has gone

from nowhere to being Britahn's And for the last three years, the

operation has been based in this It is the size of

around 12 football pitches. Coming from Asia into ports such

as Felixstowe. They travel along 32 miles

of hanging rails and are earmarked Everything is sold under

Sainsbury's' Tu clothing br`nd. This is our one national clothing

distribution centre, so this Ten years ago,

all we had in clothing was seven people working in a kind of a hut,

so you can see now that this is It is nearly 1 million square feet,

and over 700 people work here. We have possibly up to 30

different nationalities on site From Eastern European and

from basically all over the world. Is it difficult to communic`te

with all of them? Their level

of English is pretty good. It is a requirement when coling

on site that we have a certain level of English

so we can communicate quite well. If you look at this depot,

there's 4 million items that come into the depot every week, there's 4

million items that go out. There is around

about 11 million stockholding and if we look at our business tod`y, we

have grown to over a three puarters of ?1 billion business now hn the UK

on Sainsbury's' Tu clothing alone. With its position between the M

and A1, Bedford has attractdd several large distribution hubs

a growing source of jobs It is fascinating, isn't it? Where

do they go? Anyway, who knows? Peter Dudfield is a student

at Cambridge University and he says he's planning to take

two weeks off to sleep. He's just finished

a round`the`world bike ride He's ridden 18,640 miles,

across five continents, in 380 days and has raised ?14, 00

for the British Red Cross. Cambridge is of course a city of

cyclists, but few people cotld match the achievement of this on two

wheels. Looking back, how does the man himself way it all up? @ moment

of madness. It was crazy. Pdter who is 25, set off last year. A keen

cyclist already, he wanted to raise money for charity. It is very

important. It is hard to put yourself in the position of people

losing everything. I'm confhdent this is a good cause.

My girlfriend has been to vhsit me and I've done over 3000 km. He

didn't, he admits, have a sdt route. His friends joined him sometimes,

but mostly he was on his own. He said he was sometimes lonelx. I

wasn't afraid of people, but there were animals. I was afraid of

getting injured, but more the animals. Snakes, bears, wild dogs.

People are so friendly. Thex want to help you, you are on a bike and

defenseless. Everyone wants to help you. Any punches? Just ten, so not

many. `` punctures. My mum was a bit worried. I try to get a bit of

Internet and message them. Would you let you do something like this

again? Probably. The trusty bicycle has been decorated. It servds as a

reminder of the distance he has notched up in 17 countries. The trip

of a lifetime. But there's nothing like coming home. Just try to relax,

sleep and eat properly. It hs the end of the journey but it is good.

Would you do it again? Yeah. I would recommend it to anyone.

He didn't get on the bike, he pushed it! Well done. The weather.

After a foggy start to the day, we will see more mornings like that.

Those mornings will continud. It will feel warmer as we get through

the week, but it brings increasing the risks of thunderstorms. At the

moment, we have this low cloud and mist and fog arriving already. This

is going to head further sotthwards and westwards through this dvening

and overnight. For all of us, quite a cloudy night with the risk of some

fog patches as we get into the early hours of tomorrow morning. Ht means

it will remain relatively mhld for tonight. The thickness of the cloud

will allow some spots of rahn or drizzle. We will see temper`tures of

13 to 16 Celsius. There will be the risk of some rain wear that cloud is

that cloud is at its thickest. There could be some showers tomorrow

morning. It is looking quitd hopeful for most laces, it should clear

through the day and we should see some sunshine. `` for most places.

But of course, with this northwesterly breeze, we record

cooler temperatures on the coast. Those temperatures just perhaps in

the high teens. For some pl`ces it could remain cloudy for the

afternoon but it looks quitd hopeful that most places will see some

sunshine. Looking at the general pressure pattern, we have this area

of low pressure for about a week and it will start to head northwards

throughout the day and throtgh the week. By the end of the week we will

see an increasing risk of thunderstorms. For Thursday, we have

some sunshine around first thing. It looks like it will remain mostly dry

for the day, but by the end of the day there will be some risks of the

jury showers arriving. Parthcularly for Friday, the unsettled theme

continues. Those nights shotld remain relatively mild with the

temperatures in the mid teens. We need to correct that, he was not

riding his bike because he was not allowed to at that college. That's

all from us. Goodbye.
