:01:27. > :01:28.But not enough other people want to do what
:01:29. > :01:33.I think it is probably one of the most rewarding and
:01:34. > :01:35.challenging professions that there is.
:01:36. > :01:40.If you're willing to commit and give a lot
:01:41. > :01:47.love, then it definitely is something you should consider.
:01:48. > :01:49.But head teachers say they are struggling to recruit.
:01:50. > :01:51.That is causing some to worry about the future.
:01:52. > :01:53.You may not have a teacher for a class of
:01:54. > :01:56.students, and you might have to think very carefully
:01:57. > :02:02.It might mean having to have larger class sizes, or the
:02:03. > :02:06.head teachers teaching for part of that.
:02:07. > :02:11.To try and stop it happening, today, Northamptonshire County Council have
:02:12. > :02:15.released a new promotional video and website to attract more people
:02:16. > :02:20.There are currently 84 teacher vacancies in
:02:21. > :02:23.Northamptonshire, for classrooms like this.
:02:24. > :02:26.The county council says, because of the growing population,
:02:27. > :02:30.through the next five years, several new schools will be needed,
:02:31. > :02:34.We're working very hard to promote the
:02:35. > :02:37.very best of what we have got here in Northamptonshire.
:02:38. > :02:39.We have got good quality housing, at relatively low
:02:40. > :02:43.We've got a fantastic culture on offer.

:02:47. > :02:53.At this school in Wellingborough, they had
:02:54. > :02:57.previously advertised one teaching job and nobody applied.
:02:58. > :03:00.If I am being very honest, I think that the
:03:01. > :03:07.I see my young teachers, particularly, working long hours.
:03:08. > :03:13.But there isn't an appreciation amongst a lot of the public of how
:03:14. > :03:19.You do have to be prepared to work late nights and on
:03:20. > :03:23.Sundays, you have to be prepared to do lots of different
:03:24. > :03:25.things for the school, and if you have got that
:03:26. > :03:30.and especially if you have the passion for the subject, then you
:03:31. > :03:36.More people will now have to love teaching if the
:03:37. > :03:42.growing number of classrooms are going to be filled.
:03:43. > :03:45.Well, the National Union of Teachers campaigns for better working
:03:46. > :03:51.The Union spokesman for this region, Des Hart, joined me to explain how
:03:52. > :03:56.those issues impact on teacher recruitment and retention.
:03:57. > :03:58.Primarily, for those who are in the classroom,
:03:59. > :04:01.in the workplace, we've got to increase pay, we've got to
:04:02. > :04:05.reduce the amount of bureaucracy, we've got to get rid of this very
:04:06. > :04:10.oppressive testing regime which means that schools aren't pleasant
:04:11. > :04:13.for teachers and not pleasant for students.
:04:14. > :04:16.There has always been testing exams in school, and
:04:17. > :04:19.teaching from the outside looks like quite a good gig.
:04:20. > :04:24.There is a career and salary progression, good holidays.
:04:25. > :04:30.It may have been a job for life in the
:04:31. > :04:34.past, but figures have been published that state that those
:04:35. > :04:36.who went into the profession in 2010,
:04:37. > :04:45.If a third of your teaching force leave in the
:04:46. > :04:49.first five years of service, you can see that it is no longer a job
:04:50. > :04:53.What we get from our members, primarily, it is pressures in the
:04:54. > :04:59.classroom, 55 hours or so in secondary school, most of which is
:05:00. > :05:04.It is to do with pressure and bureaucracy and
:05:05. > :05:10.If you were coming out of college now, would you be a teacher?
:05:11. > :05:12.You think it is an attractive career path?
:05:13. > :05:16.I thoroughly enjoyed my 20 years in teaching, I'd probably
:05:17. > :05:20.be less keen to go in now, having seen the effect
:05:21. > :05:23.that it is having on our members, the ones that ideal
:05:24. > :05:25.with in my role, on a day-to-day basis.
:05:26. > :05:29.It is one of the most stressful occupations in the
:05:30. > :05:33.workforce, and quite clearly people point at the six-week summer
:05:34. > :05:37.holiday, for example, but we find most of our members spend the first
:05:38. > :05:40.two weeks of the summer holiday clearing up and finishing off after
:05:41. > :05:43.the last academic year, and then about ten days prior to the
:05:44. > :05:46.September !st start, preparing for the next academic year.
:05:47. > :05:49.The holidays that people get is not much better
:05:50. > :05:55.Next tonight,the surge in Cybercrime.
:05:56. > :05:58.It's costing the UK economy billions of pounds
:05:59. > :06:01.and catching more and more of us out.
:06:02. > :06:04.Police forces in Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire have reported
:06:05. > :06:09.So, a conference is taking place in Cambridge tonight to work out
:06:10. > :06:26.On the comedy contest is going on behind me. It has been organised by
:06:27. > :06:30.the police and crime commission and it came three key safety
:06:31. > :06:33.partnership. It is about the growing threat of cybercrime which is
:06:34. > :06:39.criminal activity using the internet computers. It affects everyone. This
:06:40. > :06:40.is how to protect yourself because criminals are making millions every
:06:41. > :06:41.day. The internet has helped this small
:06:42. > :06:44.company go from strength to strength, but it has also had
:06:45. > :06:46.a more sinister impact. Cybercriminals sent
:06:47. > :06:48.an e-mail purporting to be from the MD, asking an employee
:06:49. > :06:53.to make a bank transfer. And she said to me, I have
:06:54. > :06:57.done the transaction you have asked me to do, but they
:06:58. > :07:00.asked for a long reference number and I couldn't fit it
:07:01. > :07:03.all in, so I condensed the reference number
:07:04. > :07:04.and it was that point, I said,
:07:05. > :07:06.what are you talking about? At that point, obviously,
:07:07. > :07:09.she went white and I did the same, we called
:07:10. > :07:11.the bank straightaway. In Bedfordshire in 2015,
:07:12. > :07:22.almost 1200 were reported. They were 370 reports
:07:23. > :07:34.the following year. If this king is the World Wide Web,
:07:35. > :07:37.he came to power in 1995, and very quickly his followers, the
:07:38. > :07:42.businesses, the consumers, started to realise his importance and began
:07:43. > :07:45.to put their money and trust But where there is money,
:07:46. > :07:50.the criminals are sure to follow. The experts predicted
:07:51. > :07:53.it would happen, and the problem is getting
:07:54. > :07:56.worse all the time. They target both randomly
:07:57. > :08:03.and specifically. One method is ransomware,
:08:04. > :08:07.where victims believe they have to pay a fine,
:08:08. > :08:10.perhaps to a seemingly legitimate It is possible that big
:08:11. > :08:17.organisations are now treating this type of ransomware as the cost
:08:18. > :08:21.of doing business, and if you consider that the average
:08:22. > :08:23.amount they are paying out is around ?13,000,
:08:24. > :08:27.for big organisations it could be ?25,000, this is
:08:28. > :08:32.clearly a big problem. Police nationwide say this
:08:33. > :08:39.is a modern-day crime. We have recently held
:08:40. > :08:41.a conference with a crime unit who have got departments
:08:42. > :08:45.specifically dedicated to But some of their stats
:08:46. > :08:49.are really worrying. They said they had seen over
:08:50. > :08:53.2000 hacks on Eastern region companies this month, and
:08:54. > :08:58.that is probably not all of them, because a lot of them
:08:59. > :09:01.will not have been reported. This Cambridgeshire
:09:02. > :09:03.company was lucky. But they say that the criminals
:09:04. > :09:19.continue to try their luck With me now is it in when Coles who
:09:20. > :09:25.is a senior lecturer in cyber security. Hello Adrian. Presumably
:09:26. > :09:33.criminals are turning to this because it is easy to get away with?
:09:34. > :09:38.The internet offers anonymity and that icon a massive scale of attack
:09:39. > :09:43.and cybercriminals can be located anywhere in the world. It is an
:09:44. > :09:49.issue of scale and anonymity. How successful are the police are
:09:50. > :09:54.catching these people? They are always behind, but what we need is
:09:55. > :09:59.more people to report the crimes, things like action fraud, the more
:10:00. > :10:02.crimes are reported the more they can be correlated and the more
:10:03. > :10:08.resources can be allocated to investigators. We will see more
:10:09. > :10:12.prosecutions that way. We encourage victims are proud to come forward
:10:13. > :10:18.and report and not be afraid. There is no embarrassment about this.
:10:19. > :10:27.Anyone can suffer it. How do we protect ourselves? Cyber hygiene,
:10:28. > :10:30.make sure your antivirus, your antispam tools are up-to-date, your
:10:31. > :10:35.operating system is up-to-date. It is all about being a doubting
:10:36. > :10:41.Thomas. If you receive an unknown e-mail, don't click on the
:10:42. > :10:47.attachment. Don't respond to it. Think about who said it, if you
:10:48. > :10:54.don't know the person, if you are in doubt, ask someone else. Evidence
:10:55. > :10:56.from your bank for example, phone the bank go into the bag. In
:10:57. > :11:04.messages to be suspicious will stop. An HGV driver from will

:11:22. > :11:24.Magistrates heard how he was pulled over on the A14 near Bury St
:11:25. > :11:27.Edmunds in June last year after a police officer
:11:28. > :11:30.spotted his lorry swerving across the lanes.
:11:31. > :11:32.Sergeant Barry Abbott said he had seen a
:11:33. > :11:36.driver with a mobile phone in his hand and the phone screen was on,
:11:37. > :11:41.The defendant addressed of the court through a
:11:42. > :11:45.Polish interpreter, and told the magistrate he was innocent.
:11:46. > :11:47.He said the reason that he was between lanes
:11:48. > :11:50.was not because he was using a mobile phone, but because there
:11:51. > :11:53.where ruts worn into the road that he was having to follow.
:11:54. > :11:55.He said it would have been impossible for the
:11:56. > :11:59.Sergeant to have seen it in the cab of his lorry from a police car,
:12:00. > :12:05.that he hadn't been using his phone at the time.
:12:06. > :12:07.But the magistrate accepted the Sergeant's evidence,
:12:08. > :12:11.and found the defendant guilty of driving while using his phone.
:12:12. > :12:13.They fined him ?350, ordered him to pay
:12:14. > :12:18.?620 costs and a victim's surcharge of ?35.
:12:19. > :12:20.He was also given three penalty points.

:12:30. > :12:32.this gentleman would have seen other people
:12:33. > :12:36.using their mobile phones and would have understood

:12:40. > :12:45.What would you say to drivers, what message would you give to them?
:12:46. > :13:00.This latest conviction coincides with a

:14:44. > :14:46.Four months later he'd been diagnosed with a brain tumour.
:14:47. > :15:01.He was a lovely five-year-old boy. He loved riding his bike, Star Wars,
:15:02. > :15:07.friends and going to school. It was only really this time last year when
:15:08. > :15:15.he was in hospital that we knew he wasn't well. It progressed very
:15:16. > :15:20.quickly. It was difficult to get out of bed some mornings. You have too,
:15:21. > :15:25.especially when we have other children to look after.
:15:26. > :15:27.The Duchess of Cambridge was at Quidenham as a
:15:28. > :15:33.But for the families she was also here as a mother.
:15:34. > :15:40.Listening to their stories. But she also shared the fun side of life. My
:15:41. > :15:45.daughter asked her what it was like to be a princess. She said she got
:15:46. > :15:53.looked after very well by her husband. She said her children like
:15:54. > :16:00.to run off in different directions, so it must be very hard work to have
:16:01. > :16:10.four. You can see she genuinely cared. Two years ago, an appeal was
:16:11. > :16:14.launched. This site is limited in size and accessibility and they
:16:15. > :16:22.cannot expand to cope with increased demand. There is no hydro pool here,
:16:23. > :16:28.which is something which has benefited her. But travelling to
:16:29. > :16:34.Cambridge is too long journey. With the new hospice, that is something
:16:35. > :16:43.they will have. The quality of care here is first-class. But that is in
:16:44. > :16:46.spite of the building, not because of that. We will be able to provide
:16:47. > :16:58.much more planning new hospice is built. The fundraising is now
:16:59. > :17:05.halfway. In the meantime, the care and support and giggles will go on.
:17:06. > :17:08.The Chelsea Flower Show is used to staging all sorts of weird
:17:09. > :17:11.Well, this year, they are planning an eye-catching attraction.
:17:12. > :17:14.To draw attention to the plight of neglected horses.
:17:15. > :17:20.So how do you tell the story of the work of a charity?
:17:21. > :17:25.The Norfolk based World Horse Welfare organisation?
:17:26. > :17:36.It started with Clippy who was left abandoned outside
:17:37. > :17:39.His suffering unnoticed until he was rescued.
:17:40. > :17:44.Clippy's story has been transferred to the drawing board and will soon
:17:45. > :17:50.take pride of place at the world's most prestigious flower show.
:17:51. > :18:02.The idea for this is to show how animals can be rescued and re-homed.
:18:03. > :18:08.This is the area that shows where animals are forgotten about. Then we
:18:09. > :18:15.move into an area which is open to the sky and the sun.
:18:16. > :18:18.It's all thanks to a donation from a supporter of Snetterton based
:18:19. > :18:22.The charity, which is celebrating its 90th birthday,
:18:23. > :18:34.Hopefully this will attract more people to come and find out about
:18:35. > :18:39.the work of the charity. Increasingly, charities are teaming
:18:40. > :18:44.up with sponsors and garden designers to promote their cause at
:18:45. > :18:49.the Chelsea flower show. It is an international stage.
:18:50. > :18:51.With a host of gold medals from Chelsea behind them,
:18:52. > :18:54.Jonathan and Adam have a special affection for their latest garden,
:18:55. > :18:57.almost all of its 800 plants sourced from a nursery in Norfolk.
:18:58. > :19:03.This is about getting people to reflect on the importance of
:19:04. > :19:07.charities. And helping animals. If they can get more supporters to
:19:08. > :19:12.enable them to do so, that has got to be a good thing.
:19:13. > :19:13.While Clippy is nursed back to health,
:19:14. > :19:16.the hope is this garden should ensure that will horses like him,

:19:27. > :19:32.is now one of our fastest growing towns.
:19:33. > :19:35.It also takes its art very seriously.
:19:36. > :19:38.And it's hoping to become a European Capital of Culture.
:19:39. > :19:48.Louise Hubball has been on a cultural tour of Milton Keynes.
:19:49. > :19:51.Around the many corners of Milton Keynes
:19:52. > :19:53.you will find public statues fluid sculptures.

:19:59. > :20:00.This shopping centre installation celebrates this accessible art that
:20:01. > :20:03.has always been at the heart of the town.
:20:04. > :20:09.the idea is for you to go out and find the originals yourself.
:20:10. > :20:20.I think art is always about thinking about what will come next. How can
:20:21. > :20:29.you construct a space which will work 50 years from now or 100 years?
:20:30. > :20:38.It makes sense to integrate art into the urban fabric. Over the years,
:20:39. > :20:40.there has been far more going on in the art scene than just these

:23:43. > :23:44.to a certain Ed Sheeran. I think my dad had a bit of fun
:23:45. > :23:49.a couple of years after I was born Because we do look
:23:50. > :23:52.quite similar, really. Castle on the Hill
:23:53. > :23:54.is all about Suffolk. The directors needed actors
:23:55. > :23:57.who would just jell naturally. Because we are all such
:23:58. > :24:01.a close group of friends, there were no points
:24:02. > :24:03.where it was awkward or anything. We went to the banger

:25:15. > :25:26.Here are some photographs. Another taken in Grantchester in Cambridge.
:25:27. > :25:35.Lots of bright blue sky today once the fog lifted. We start to get more
:25:36. > :25:41.widespread fog again this evening. Likely to cause some travel
:25:42. > :25:48.disruption. Freezing fog patches will become more widespread as we go
:25:49. > :25:56.through the night. A risk of ice on untreated surfaces. We start the
:25:57. > :26:03.evening on a dry zero. The fog will become a problem as we go through
:26:04. > :26:08.the evening. Quite extensive by the end of the night. Temperatures below
:26:09. > :26:18.freezing. Down to around -2 in many places. This is likely to lift into
:26:19. > :26:24.low-level cloud tomorrow. High-pressure keeping are relatively
:26:25. > :26:28.settled. Tomorrow is likely to be more cloudy than today. Fog patches
:26:29. > :26:35.are a problem through the morning rush-hour. Some brighter spells
:26:36. > :26:46.possible, but a fairly cloudy picture for many of us. Similar
:26:47. > :26:49.temperatures to today. Looking ahead, a bit of a shift with
:26:50. > :26:55.high-pressure. Starting to move eastwards. We start to develop this
:26:56. > :27:02.south-easterly wind. That brings a lot of cold air from the continent
:27:03. > :27:09.towards us. It will feel even colder on Thursday. If it feels cold
:27:10. > :27:17.tomorrow, wait till Thursday. That wind strengthening will make it feel
:27:18. > :27:23.raw. A lot of cloud around. Feeling very cold indeed. We get to the end
:27:24. > :27:28.of the week and slightly less cold. Looking largely dry if cloudy, but
:27:29. > :27:32.temperatures recovering slightly. By Saturday and into Sunday, we're back
:27:33. > :27:52.up to around 8 degrees by day. You might get the impression
:27:53. > :27:56.that history is just a record
