:00:00. > :00:00.Hello and welcome to Tuesday's programme.

:00:10. > :00:12.a court hears this children's author was murdered by her partner

:00:13. > :00:18.An end to cheap migrant labour undercutting local workers -

:00:19. > :00:20.that was the promise from Jeremy Corbyn today,

:00:21. > :00:28.but what does it mean for our region?

:00:29. > :00:31.The Cambridge drugs company in line for a multi-million dollar

:00:32. > :00:37.investment from the Bill Gates foundation.

:00:38. > :00:40.And Reginald James Watson, an old soldier with no surviving relatives

:00:41. > :00:49.gets a fitting sendoff. She was a much loved children's

:00:50. > :00:54.author with a ?4 million fortune, But a court heard today how

:00:55. > :01:01.Helen Bailey was drugged and dumped in the cesspit of her home

:01:02. > :01:04.by her partner, who then The jury at St Albans Crown Court

:01:05. > :01:15.was told that Ian Stewart then sat back and watched as police

:01:16. > :01:18.searched for his fiancee. He denies all

:01:19. > :01:19.the charges against him. Our reporter

:01:20. > :01:33.Nicola Haseler was in court. The prosecution said today that it

:01:34. > :01:37.was a long planned and deliberate killing, motivated by money. It is

:01:38. > :01:41.claimed Ian Stewart killed Helen Bailey and let the police carry out

:01:42. > :01:47.a futile missing persons search until her body was found three

:01:48. > :01:50.months later. It is the prosecution's case that Ian Stewart

:01:51. > :01:54.had been secretly drugging Helen Bailey with sleeping pills in the

:01:55. > :02:00.months before she died. Records show that Helen Bailey had googled, why

:02:01. > :02:04.do I keep falling asleep? They were due to be married, both widowers.

:02:05. > :02:08.The prosecution claimed that on the day of Helen's disappearance last

:02:09. > :02:12.April, Ian Stewart probably suffocated her while she was sedated

:02:13. > :02:17.by sleeping pills. He moved her body to the garage and dumped it in the

:02:18. > :02:24.cesspit below, the jury were told. Along with her beloved dog, Boris, a

:02:25. > :02:29.pillow case and a dog toy. Later in the afternoon, Ian Stewart accessed

:02:30. > :02:33.her bank account and transferred ?4000 to his. Four days later, Ian

:02:34. > :02:38.Stewart reported his partner has missing telling police she had left

:02:39. > :02:43.a note indicating that she wanted some time alone. A huge search

:02:44. > :02:47.began. As you can imagine this has been an extremely difficult time for

:02:48. > :02:53.our family, and as more time passes, since she was last seen, the more

:02:54. > :02:57.concerned we become. Helen Bailey was the author of several popular

:02:58. > :03:00.children's books. After her first husband died suddenly while on

:03:01. > :03:06.holiday, she started writing about grief. My husband died in an

:03:07. > :03:12.accident in Barbados in February 2011, and when I got back to the UK

:03:13. > :03:17.I tried to write about it. I found I was completely blocked with grief.

:03:18. > :03:21.It was not until July that Helen's body was found in the cesspit.

:03:22. > :03:26.Forensic analysis of her hair revealed she had been given sleeping

:03:27. > :03:30.pills for some time. Ian Stewart is charged with murder, preventing the

:03:31. > :03:36.legal burial of her body, fraud and perverting the course of justice. He

:03:37. > :03:40.denies the charges. After Helen Bailey disappeared, Ian

:03:41. > :03:45.Stewart carried on sending texts to her phone and made an appeal for her

:03:46. > :03:49.to return home, so he is also charged with perverting the course

:03:50. > :03:53.of justice for what the prosecution described as the Charente of

:03:54. > :03:58.deceiving the police and the local community, who were all searching

:03:59. > :03:59.for the missing water. -- the charade. Tomorrow we expect to hear

:04:00. > :04:03.from the first witness. A section of the M1

:04:04. > :04:06.in Northamptonshire was closed this morning after a man's body

:04:07. > :04:08.was found on the carriageway. It was discovered in the early hours

:04:09. > :04:11.of this morning on the northbound carriageway

:04:12. > :04:13.near the Watford Gap services, The person is believed to have been

:04:14. > :04:17.hit by several vehicles. Police are asking for anyone with

:04:18. > :04:29.any information to contact them. Two brothers have gone on trial

:04:30. > :04:32.in connection with the death of a woman whose body lay

:04:33. > :04:35.undiscovered for 12 years. Pensioners Joseph and Daniel Doherty

:04:36. > :04:38.face a total of seven charges between them,

:04:39. > :04:40.including concealing the body The mother of three

:04:41. > :04:46.disappeared in 2003. Her remains were discovered

:04:47. > :04:50.in a garden in Luton in 2015. Next, the plight of tenants

:04:51. > :04:58.in Peterborough who are losing their homes to make way

:04:59. > :05:01.for homeless people The city's MP, Stewart Jackson,

:05:02. > :05:06.called a special debate, Our political reporter

:05:07. > :05:22.Tom Barton was watching. On the platform for the ten .09 to

:05:23. > :05:28.King's Cross, Jelena Stevic on her way to Westminster to see MPs

:05:29. > :05:31.debating the situation that is affecting her and her neighbours at

:05:32. > :05:36.St Michael's gate. The whole street was bought last year by a new

:05:37. > :05:39.landlord who struck a deal with Peterborough City Council to use the

:05:40. > :05:46.houses as a commendation for homeless people. Living most tenants

:05:47. > :05:49.having to find someone new to live. Jelena arrived in London, keen to

:05:50. > :05:52.see the Government take action. Low-mac I want them to acknowledge

:05:53. > :05:58.that this is wrong, it is deplorable. It is despicable and

:05:59. > :06:02.that they care about the people of this country, because this will

:06:03. > :06:05.affect us all, it will affect you, anybody else, your friends and

:06:06. > :06:11.family, somebody will be affected with this situation down the road.

:06:12. > :06:14.Can I thank the Speaker Laika The debate Jelena was in Westminster to

:06:15. > :06:18.hear, called by the MP Stewart Jackson. Limato would like to

:06:19. > :06:23.apologise that I could did not do more to help my constituents are

:06:24. > :06:28.Bifield to extension -- to a certain extent that I am the system have let

:06:29. > :06:30.them down. It is unfair, morally repugnant, and I hope this debate

:06:31. > :06:35.and the Minister's response will make sure that two and tense and

:06:36. > :06:39.purposes, decent people are not treated like this again.

:06:40. > :06:47.The Housing Minister was critical of both the landlord and the council in

:06:48. > :06:51.how they have behaved. There was an Alice in Wonderland quality to the

:06:52. > :06:54.situation, where a group of people have essentially been told they need

:06:55. > :06:57.to leave their homes and have been made homeless in many cases, in

:06:58. > :07:05.order to provide housing for the homeless. It seems a highly

:07:06. > :07:09.irrational thing to do, but for a company and the City Council. It is

:07:10. > :07:12.almost certainly too late for the Government to do anything to change

:07:13. > :07:16.the situation affecting Jelena and her neighbours, but she hopes the

:07:17. > :07:17.law can be changed to prevent anything like this happening again.

:07:18. > :07:30.Did the Minister Pledge any actual action? As far as the residents of

:07:31. > :07:36.St Michael's gate and so still, really, the speech was cold comfort.

:07:37. > :07:39.There was a promise to do more to stop situations like this from

:07:40. > :07:45.happening in future. Part of what makes properties like St Michael's

:07:46. > :07:47.Gate attractive to landlords to use homeless accommodation is that they

:07:48. > :07:51.can charge a significant management fee on top of the rent. The

:07:52. > :07:55.Government said they are changing the way that system works in the

:07:56. > :07:59.hope of stopping this sort of thing from arising in the future. But

:08:00. > :08:04.there were no promises over the rights of tenants to stay in

:08:05. > :08:10.properties when new landlords by them, as has happened in St

:08:11. > :08:16.Michael's gate. And some of those tenants are having a meeting

:08:17. > :08:27.tonight? That's right. The residents association in palm oil, --

:08:28. > :08:30.Parmwell. They will be attended by the Chief Executive Peterborough

:08:31. > :08:36.City Council. We understand that she is not expecting to talk directly

:08:37. > :08:41.about St Michael's Gate, she is expected to speak instead about how

:08:42. > :08:45.the council can work more closely with residents, given the strength

:08:46. > :08:50.of feeling, it is unlikely the topic will not come up. Tom, thank you.

:08:51. > :08:53.And we will have more from that meeting in our latest news at 10:30.

:08:54. > :08:55.The Labour Party will campaign to stop cheap migrant labour

:08:56. > :08:58.That was the message from party leader Jeremy Corbyn today.

:08:59. > :09:01.In a key speech to supporters in Peterborough, he also said

:09:02. > :09:03.that EU migrants who are already here will have

:09:04. > :09:18.Our political correspondent Andrew Sinclair is there.

:09:19. > :09:24.Well, 56% of people across the East voted to leave the European Union in

:09:25. > :09:28.the referendum last year. 61% of them here in Peterborough. Jeremy

:09:29. > :09:34.Corbyn and most of the Labour Party were on the side of Remain. This is

:09:35. > :09:37.an area where they have struggled for support so a lot of interest

:09:38. > :09:42.this afternoon in Jeremy Corbyn's speech, his first big one of the New

:09:43. > :09:46.Year. A speech which could determine the fortunes of Labour in this part

:09:47. > :09:50.of the world. Labour and its leader are undergoing

:09:51. > :09:54.a bit of a New Year rebrand. This afternoon's speech was billed as Mr

:09:55. > :10:00.Corbyn's big response to the Brexit vote. Labour access those challenges

:10:01. > :10:05.that voters have given us. Among his big ideas, more money for the NHS, a

:10:06. > :10:09.crackdown on high levels of pay and yes, a new policy on immigration.

:10:10. > :10:12.The advance briefing was that he would back a restriction on the

:10:13. > :10:16.number of people coming to Britain. But he did not say that. Instead, he

:10:17. > :10:21.spoke about the importance of migrants to our economy and said

:10:22. > :10:27.improving local services was the answer. The question of underfunding

:10:28. > :10:31.of services is crucial, in this city, for example, this council here

:10:32. > :10:34.seems to be more interested in selling off council housing to a

:10:35. > :10:38.private sector organisation, rather than housing the people who are

:10:39. > :10:43.homeless. So you say if there was more funding in services, people

:10:44. > :10:47.would not be so concerned? I think sometimes, there are issues

:10:48. > :10:51.surrounding social -- shortages of services in which people are

:10:52. > :10:54.unfairly blame. It is generally accepted that fears about the

:10:55. > :10:57.pressures caused by immigration is worried the reason for the large

:10:58. > :11:01.Brexit vote in use. The Leave campaign see the solution is to

:11:02. > :11:07.limit numbers. Mr Corbyn believes more support for local councils is

:11:08. > :11:12.the answer. I think it is reassuring voters we are listening. There was a

:11:13. > :11:16.vote in June and people have had their say. We need to make sure that

:11:17. > :11:21.we as a party of the people are listening to what they are saying.

:11:22. > :11:26.And reports of voters in Peterborough? I think we should put

:11:27. > :11:31.a cap on it, but I think they are hard workers, some of that come

:11:32. > :11:37.here. There are a lot of jobs that perhaps we do not want to do, that

:11:38. > :11:45.people do do. You will have to cut numbers, there is no other way to

:11:46. > :11:47.control it. He is still speaking about immigration and its benefits,

:11:48. > :11:51.and he hopes it will win Labour new supporters.

:11:52. > :11:56.How significant was at that Jeremy Corbyn came to Peterborough today? I

:11:57. > :12:02.think it is significant for a couple reasons. He came to a major Leave

:12:03. > :12:06.city in a major Leave area to talk about Brexit. So you might as well

:12:07. > :12:11.come here if you're going to talk about Brexit. Secondly, if Labour

:12:12. > :12:14.want to stand any chance of forming a government, it needs to start

:12:15. > :12:21.winning seats in this part of the world again. It needs to start

:12:22. > :12:23.winning seats in places like Stevenage, Bedford, Milton Keynes.

:12:24. > :12:28.It got Cambridge last time but it should have also got votes in

:12:29. > :12:32.Peterborough. There is still a big disconnect between Labour and many

:12:33. > :12:36.of its supporters, so today was partly about Labour coming back here

:12:37. > :12:38.and saying to voters, look, we have not forgotten you, we would like you

:12:39. > :12:40.to start taking us seriously again. A new all-weather horse racing

:12:41. > :12:43.course could be built at Newmarket, allowing training and racing

:12:44. > :12:45.all year round. The Jockey Club is preparing

:12:46. > :12:48.a planning application for the track on its land at The Links,

:12:49. > :12:50.providing easy access for the thousands of horses that

:12:51. > :13:02.use its nearby training grounds. If approved, it would replace Camden

:13:03. > :13:04.Park's or whether operations and the site would be developed for housing.

:13:05. > :13:07.More at 10:30, but now, let's joint Stewart and Susie

:13:08. > :13:21.They are now driving for Uber even though the company has no devices to

:13:22. > :13:26.operate in Southend. Southend Council told me how unhappy they are

:13:27. > :13:31.with the situation. Two individuals who we know about

:13:32. > :13:35.have had their licences revoked in Southend and have been licensed by

:13:36. > :13:40.TfL and are working for Uber. What do you think about that?

:13:41. > :13:45.It is a scandal of epidemic proportions, it cannot be right back

:13:46. > :13:52.one licensing authority finds them not fit to hold a licence, yet TfL

:13:53. > :13:55.have seen fit to give them a license.

:13:56. > :13:59.TfL told us these were serious issues which were under

:14:00. > :14:02.investigation. A spokesperson for Uber said they would welcome more

:14:03. > :14:11.transparent data sharing between licensing authorities.

:14:12. > :14:16.What they are doing, there is no point having a local licensing you

:14:17. > :14:21.might as well go to the cheapest area then drive you like.

:14:22. > :14:26.The cabbies here say they are worried the fact drivers previously

:14:27. > :14:29.banned are now back in the resort could put passengers in danger and

:14:30. > :14:37.are calling on the London Mayor to take action.

:14:38. > :14:39.You're watching Look East, with Stewart and me.

:14:40. > :14:42.Stay with us for action from last night's Cup tie

:14:43. > :14:46.Alex will tell us about a freezing end to the week.

:14:47. > :14:57.Local people make sure a war veteran gets a fitting sendoff.

:14:58. > :15:01.The Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates is giving $9 million to a medical

:15:02. > :15:04.company in Cambridge which is trying to find cures for

:15:05. > :15:11.The grant is coming from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

:15:12. > :15:14.The cash is going to a Cambridge lab called Kymab which is researching

:15:15. > :15:16.vaccines for diseases such as HIV and malaria.

:15:17. > :15:18.The Gates' involvement will ensure that any treatments are shared among

:15:19. > :15:28.Scientists working in this Cambridge laboratory are taking the first

:15:29. > :15:30.steps to create vaccines that could prevent some of the world's

:15:31. > :15:35.Work is expensive and can take years which is why bosses at Kymab

:15:36. > :15:37.are overwhelmed after being awarded $9 million by Bill

:15:38. > :15:49.I think it is very special because the foundation doesn't

:15:50. > :15:53.It wants to know it is going to get high-quality science.

:15:54. > :15:55.So it is an indictment how good the quality

:15:56. > :16:02.And how what we do at Kymab can really contribute to the mission

:16:03. > :16:04.of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

:16:05. > :16:06.The company has developed its own way of producing

:16:07. > :16:08.and testing antibodies, the proteins that help ward off

:16:09. > :16:10.infections, by creating genetically-engineered mice.

:16:11. > :16:12.The mice mimic the production of antibodies in humans which helps

:16:13. > :16:15.Vaccine that could cure whooping cough normally

:16:16. > :16:22.It's now being seen in adults and experts say

:16:23. > :16:25.that is because current cures aren't working.

:16:26. > :16:29.We think that is because the vaccine received as a child is waning.

:16:30. > :16:31.What we are trying to do is generate some antibodies that can

:16:32. > :16:35.be given as a therapy, but also as a way of looking at

:16:36. > :16:46.vaccine design against the bacteria that causes whooping cough.

:16:47. > :16:49.There is a certain cachet and allure about attracting big-dollar

:16:50. > :16:55.The billionaire philanthropist is widely considered to be the world's

:16:56. > :17:02.Money from the Microsoft founder has enabled Kymab to grow rapidly.

:17:03. > :17:05.An initial $20 million investment has seen the company

:17:06. > :17:07.grow from a handful of scientists to more than 120

:17:08. > :17:10.employees using state-of-the-art lab equipment.

:17:11. > :17:13.Researchers here say that money will enable them to be the first

:17:14. > :17:15.to discover vaccines, and be the best.

:17:16. > :17:26.Mousumi Bakshi, BBC Look East, Cambridge.

:17:27. > :17:29.Let's get the thoughts of Martyn Postle who runs a biotech

:17:30. > :17:43.This deal is about philanthropy but also business because the company

:17:44. > :17:48.will be able to commercialise those axioms in developed countries?

:17:49. > :17:53.That is true. It doesn't matter how philanthropic the founder is, the

:17:54. > :17:56.people who invest are generally not philanthropic but financial

:17:57. > :18:00.investors. All investment in our biotech sector

:18:01. > :18:05.is to be welcomed. How worried are cos it might be harder to attract

:18:06. > :18:10.because of Brexit? For companies like this, at least in

:18:11. > :18:15.the medium term, it probably won't have any affect. Cambridge is still

:18:16. > :18:18.the Centre for European biotech and still very successful in attracting

:18:19. > :18:26.overseas investment. But there are risks, probably the most is the

:18:27. > :18:30.retention of scientists, about 40% of the science base in Cambridge are

:18:31. > :18:34.non-UK nationals, not all from the EU. I have heard stories about

:18:35. > :18:39.difficulties in attracting scientists from overseas to work in

:18:40. > :18:42.Cambridge because of the uncertainty as to whether their spouse will be

:18:43. > :18:48.able to get a job. On the other side of the coin, what

:18:49. > :18:51.about the weakness of the pound? Is that having any effect on the

:18:52. > :18:57.sector? It is, it is good news for me, the

:18:58. > :19:01.service companies like consultancies and contract research, we find we

:19:02. > :19:06.are even more connected than before. Good news for the service sector.

:19:07. > :19:11.Like so many industries we hear about post Brexit, you are suffering

:19:12. > :19:16.from the Institute of not knowing when and what is going to happen.

:19:17. > :19:21.What would help the sector, what would you like to hear from the

:19:22. > :19:24.Government? First, exactly what the Government

:19:25. > :19:31.position will be in terms of overseas scientists not having to

:19:32. > :19:37.jump through hoops to get visas. Secondly, when it comes to start up

:19:38. > :19:41.companies, the spin offs from university, who until now have

:19:42. > :19:45.relied on investment from the EU investment fund, how exactly the

:19:46. > :19:48.Government will make up the money they can no longer access.

:19:49. > :19:52.And our two teams left in the FA Cup this year now know

:19:53. > :19:57.Norwich will be at home to Arsenal if they can beat

:19:58. > :20:01.Ipswich will be at home to Brighton if they can beat Lincoln.

:20:02. > :20:02.Last night, Cambridge United threatened

:20:03. > :20:05.But ultimately the League Two side came up just short.

:20:06. > :20:21.For fans of Cambridge United, a game they would not miss for the world.

:20:22. > :20:28.For some top clubs, the FA Cup has lost a little of its magic.

:20:29. > :20:31.But at this level, it still means everything.

:20:32. > :20:33.Fingers crossed, we have good league form.

:20:34. > :20:40.Hold to half-time, get ten minutes then, bang, start again.

:20:41. > :20:42.League Two side to knock out the Championship side?

:20:43. > :20:50.Leeds made eight changes to their starting line-up,

:20:51. > :20:54.Possibly not if the first half was anything to go by.

:20:55. > :20:55.Cambridge United looked more determined, in truth,

:20:56. > :21:01.they dominated and thoroughly deserved to go in front.

:21:02. > :21:09.A goal neither nor the fans will ever forget.

:21:10. > :21:12.But if the first period was one-sided so was the second.

:24:46. > :25:16.Some fine weather across the region, this is a beautiful photograph

:25:17. > :25:21.showing blue sky. And a lovely coastal scene as well. A relatively

:25:22. > :25:25.mild night with this weather front from the west but cold weather is on

:25:26. > :25:32.the way. This is introducing more cloud. A cloudy but mainly dry

:25:33. > :25:36.evening. Through the night there could be spots of patchy rain as the

:25:37. > :25:45.weather front moves through. For most of us, no lower than 5 degrees.

:25:46. > :25:50.But it may be lower than these alleys where there are breaks in the

:25:51. > :25:55.cloud. Patchy rain first thing and strengthening winds, this weather

:25:56. > :26:00.system brings a change. Behind it much colder air is tucked in. The

:26:01. > :26:04.main feature will be that strengthening north-westerly wind

:26:05. > :26:10.which will make it feel cold. But it is a mild start with highs of 11

:26:11. > :26:17.degrees. The weather front moves through briskly. Brighter skies with

:26:18. > :26:22.sunshine. Mainly dry. Certainly the strength of the wind will be a

:26:23. > :26:27.feature through the day. 10 degrees through the morning. By the

:26:28. > :26:33.afternoon, that cold air digs in, more like 7 degrees, feeling cold,

:26:34. > :26:39.and a cold night with a frost likely. That will continue for a few

:26:40. > :26:43.days. Looking ahead to Thursday, some interesting weather. This

:26:44. > :26:49.weather system comes in from the south bringing us some rain

:26:50. > :26:54.essentially. It may turn to sleet or snow. Some uncertainty what will

:26:55. > :27:03.happen. Mainly a brain event at the moment but the potential is there.

:27:04. > :27:08.Collection -- Rain. A dry day on Thursday. Long spells of hazy

:27:09. > :27:12.sunshine and high-level cloud. Later, the rainbow push through with
