First tonight: We could see bigger class sizes

:00:00.:00:00.

in our schools if a shortage of teachers is not sorted out.

:00:00.:00:08.

That's the warning from some headteachers

:00:09.:00:09.

as they start a recruitment drive to try and fill increasing

:00:10.:00:12.

There are over 300 teacher vacancies in our region,

:00:13.:00:15.

84 of which are in Northamptonshire where a predicted rise in the number

First tonight: We could see bigger class sizes

:00:19.:00:51.

in our schools if a shortage of teachers is not sorted out.

:00:52.:00:53.

That's the warning from some headteachers

:00:54.:00:55.

as they start a recruitment drive to try and fill increasing

:00:56.:00:58.

There are over 300 teacher vacancies in our region,

:00:59.:01:04.

84 of which are in Northamptonshire where a predicted rise in the number

:01:05.:01:09.

I'm going to give you a fraction sum on the board, and I want you to

:01:10.:01:19.

Emma Aldridge is a trainee, teaching others but learning herself.

:01:20.:01:26.

But not enough other people want to do what

:01:27.:01:28.

I think it is probably one of the most rewarding and

:01:29.:01:33.

challenging professions that there is.

:01:34.:01:35.

If you're willing to commit and give a lot

:01:36.:01:40.

love, then it definitely is something you should consider.

:01:41.:01:47.

But head teachers say they are struggling to recruit.

:01:48.:01:49.

That is causing some to worry about the future.

:01:50.:01:51.

You may not have a teacher for a class of

:01:52.:01:53.

students, and you might have to think very carefully

:01:54.:01:56.

It might mean having to have larger class sizes, or the

:01:57.:02:02.

head teachers teaching for part of that.

:02:03.:02:06.

To try and stop it happening, today, Northamptonshire County Council have

:02:07.:02:11.

released a new promotional video and website to attract more people

:02:12.:02:15.

There are currently 84 teacher vacancies in

:02:16.:02:20.

Northamptonshire, for classrooms like this.

:02:21.:02:23.

The county council says, because of the growing population,

:02:24.:02:26.

through the next five years, several new schools will be needed,

:02:27.:02:30.

We're working very hard to promote the

:02:31.:02:34.

very best of what we have got here in Northamptonshire.

:02:35.:02:37.

We have got good quality housing, at relatively low

:02:38.:02:39.

We've got a fantastic culture on offer.

:02:40.:02:43.

They have been working really hard to

:02:44.:02:46.

At this school in Wellingborough, they had

:02:47.:02:53.

previously advertised one teaching job and nobody applied.

:02:54.:02:57.

If I am being very honest, I think that the

:02:58.:03:00.

I see my young teachers, particularly, working long hours.

:03:01.:03:07.

But there isn't an appreciation amongst a lot of the public of how

:03:08.:03:13.

You do have to be prepared to work late nights and on

:03:14.:03:19.

Sundays, you have to be prepared to do lots of different

:03:20.:03:23.

things for the school, and if you have got that

:03:24.:03:25.

and especially if you have the passion for the subject, then you

:03:26.:03:30.

More people will now have to love teaching if the

:03:31.:03:36.

growing number of classrooms are going to be filled.

:03:37.:03:42.

Well, the National Union of Teachers campaigns for better working

:03:43.:03:45.

The Union spokesman for this region, Des Hart, joined me to explain how

:03:46.:03:51.

those issues impact on teacher recruitment and retention.

:03:52.:03:56.

Primarily, for those who are in the classroom,

:03:57.:03:58.

in the workplace, we've got to increase pay, we've got to

:03:59.:04:01.

reduce the amount of bureaucracy, we've got to get rid of this very

:04:02.:04:05.

oppressive testing regime which means that schools aren't pleasant

:04:06.:04:10.

for teachers and not pleasant for students.

:04:11.:04:13.

There has always been testing exams in school, and

:04:14.:04:16.

teaching from the outside looks like quite a good gig.

:04:17.:04:19.

There is a career and salary progression, good holidays.

:04:20.:04:24.

It may have been a job for life in the

:04:25.:04:30.

past, but figures have been published that state that those

:04:31.:04:34.

who went into the profession in 2010,

:04:35.:04:36.

If a third of your teaching force leave in the

:04:37.:04:45.

first five years of service, you can see that it is no longer a job

:04:46.:04:49.

What we get from our members, primarily, it is pressures in the

:04:50.:04:53.

classroom, 55 hours or so in secondary school, most of which is

:04:54.:04:59.

It is to do with pressure and bureaucracy and

:05:00.:05:04.

If you were coming out of college now, would you be a teacher?

:05:05.:05:10.

You think it is an attractive career path?

:05:11.:05:12.

I thoroughly enjoyed my 20 years in teaching, I'd probably

:05:13.:05:16.

be less keen to go in now, having seen the effect

:05:17.:05:20.

that it is having on our members, the ones that ideal

:05:21.:05:23.

with in my role, on a day-to-day basis.

:05:24.:05:25.

It is one of the most stressful occupations in the

:05:26.:05:29.

workforce, and quite clearly people point at the six-week summer

:05:30.:05:33.

holiday, for example, but we find most of our members spend the first

:05:34.:05:37.

two weeks of the summer holiday clearing up and finishing off after

:05:38.:05:40.

the last academic year, and then about ten days prior to the

:05:41.:05:43.

September !st start, preparing for the next academic year.

:05:44.:05:46.

The holidays that people get is not much better

:05:47.:05:49.

Next tonight,the surge in Cybercrime.

:05:50.:05:55.

It's costing the UK economy billions of pounds

:05:56.:05:58.

and catching more and more of us out.

:05:59.:06:01.

Police forces in Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire have reported

:06:02.:06:04.

So, a conference is taking place in Cambridge tonight to work out

:06:05.:06:09.

On the comedy contest is going on behind me. It has been organised by

:06:10.:06:26.

the police and crime commission and it came three key safety

:06:27.:06:30.

partnership. It is about the growing threat of cybercrime which is

:06:31.:06:33.

criminal activity using the internet computers. It affects everyone. This

:06:34.:06:39.

is how to protect yourself because criminals are making millions every

:06:40.:06:40.

day. The internet has helped this small

:06:41.:06:41.

company go from strength to strength, but it has also had

:06:42.:06:44.

a more sinister impact. Cybercriminals sent

:06:45.:06:46.

an e-mail purporting to be from the MD, asking an employee

:06:47.:06:48.

to make a bank transfer. And she said to me, I have

:06:49.:06:53.

done the transaction you have asked me to do, but they

:06:54.:06:57.

asked for a long reference number and I couldn't fit it

:06:58.:07:00.

all in, so I condensed the reference number

:07:01.:07:03.

and it was that point, I said,

:07:04.:07:04.

what are you talking about? At that point, obviously,

:07:05.:07:06.

she went white and I did the same, we called

:07:07.:07:09.

the bank straightaway. In Bedfordshire in 2015,

:07:10.:07:11.

almost 1200 were reported. They were 370 reports

:07:12.:07:22.

the following year. If this king is the World Wide Web,

:07:23.:07:34.

he came to power in 1995, and very quickly his followers, the

:07:35.:07:37.

businesses, the consumers, started to realise his importance and began

:07:38.:07:42.

to put their money and trust But where there is money,

:07:43.:07:45.

the criminals are sure to follow. The experts predicted

:07:46.:07:50.

it would happen, and the problem is getting

:07:51.:07:53.

worse all the time. They target both randomly

:07:54.:07:56.

and specifically. One method is ransomware,

:07:57.:08:03.

where victims believe they have to pay a fine,

:08:04.:08:07.

perhaps to a seemingly legitimate It is possible that big

:08:08.:08:10.

organisations are now treating this type of ransomware as the cost

:08:11.:08:17.

of doing business, and if you consider that the average

:08:18.:08:21.

amount they are paying out is around ?13,000,

:08:22.:08:23.

for big organisations it could be ?25,000, this is

:08:24.:08:27.

clearly a big problem. Police nationwide say this

:08:28.:08:32.

is a modern-day crime. We have recently held

:08:33.:08:39.

a conference with a crime unit who have got departments

:08:40.:08:41.

specifically dedicated to But some of their stats

:08:42.:08:45.

are really worrying. They said they had seen over

:08:46.:08:49.

2000 hacks on Eastern region companies this month, and

:08:50.:08:53.

that is probably not all of them, because a lot of them

:08:54.:08:58.

will not have been reported. This Cambridgeshire

:08:59.:09:01.

company was lucky. But they say that the criminals

:09:02.:09:03.

continue to try their luck With me now is it in when Coles who

:09:04.:09:19.

is a senior lecturer in cyber security. Hello Adrian. Presumably

:09:20.:09:25.

criminals are turning to this because it is easy to get away with?

:09:26.:09:33.

The internet offers anonymity and that icon a massive scale of attack

:09:34.:09:38.

and cybercriminals can be located anywhere in the world. It is an

:09:39.:09:43.

issue of scale and anonymity. How successful are the police are

:09:44.:09:49.

catching these people? They are always behind, but what we need is

:09:50.:09:54.

more people to report the crimes, things like action fraud, the more

:09:55.:09:59.

crimes are reported the more they can be correlated and the more

:10:00.:10:02.

resources can be allocated to investigators. We will see more

:10:03.:10:08.

prosecutions that way. We encourage victims are proud to come forward

:10:09.:10:12.

and report and not be afraid. There is no embarrassment about this.

:10:13.:10:18.

Anyone can suffer it. How do we protect ourselves? Cyber hygiene,

:10:19.:10:27.

make sure your antivirus, your antispam tools are up-to-date, your

:10:28.:10:30.

operating system is up-to-date. It is all about being a doubting

:10:31.:10:35.

Thomas. If you receive an unknown e-mail, don't click on the

:10:36.:10:41.

attachment. Don't respond to it. Think about who said it, if you

:10:42.:10:47.

don't know the person, if you are in doubt, ask someone else. Evidence

:10:48.:10:54.

from your bank for example, phone the bank go into the bag. In

:10:55.:10:56.

messages to be suspicious will stop. An HGV driver from will

:10:57.:11:04.

Peterborough has been convicted of using his mobile

:11:05.:11:05.

Magistrates heard how he was spotted driving erratically.

:11:06.:11:09.

The conviction comes during a campaign to get motorists

:11:10.:11:11.

This professional HGV driver from Peterborough arriving at court.

:11:12.:11:21.

Magistrates heard how he was pulled over on the A14 near Bury St

:11:22.:11:24.

Edmunds in June last year after a police officer

:11:25.:11:27.

spotted his lorry swerving across the lanes.

:11:28.:11:30.

Sergeant Barry Abbott said he had seen a

:11:31.:11:32.

driver with a mobile phone in his hand and the phone screen was on,

:11:33.:11:36.

The defendant addressed of the court through a

:11:37.:11:41.

Polish interpreter, and told the magistrate he was innocent.

:11:42.:11:45.

He said the reason that he was between lanes

:11:46.:11:47.

was not because he was using a mobile phone, but because there

:11:48.:11:50.

where ruts worn into the road that he was having to follow.

:11:51.:11:53.

He said it would have been impossible for the

:11:54.:11:55.

Sergeant to have seen it in the cab of his lorry from a police car,

:11:56.:11:59.

that he hadn't been using his phone at the time.

:12:00.:12:05.

But the magistrate accepted the Sergeant's evidence,

:12:06.:12:07.

and found the defendant guilty of driving while using his phone.

:12:08.:12:11.

They fined him ?350, ordered him to pay

:12:12.:12:13.

?620 costs and a victim's surcharge of ?35.

:12:14.:12:18.

He was also given three penalty points.

:12:19.:12:20.

After the hearing. the police issued another

:12:21.:12:22.

They should be aware of the risks of driving, and no doubt

:12:23.:12:29.

this gentleman would have seen other people

:12:30.:12:32.

using their mobile phones and would have understood

:12:33.:12:36.

the consequences of this during his professional career,

:12:37.:12:39.

What would you say to drivers, what message would you give to them?

:12:40.:12:45.

This latest conviction coincides with a

:12:46.:13:00.

national police phone safety campaign.

:13:01.:13:03.

Later this year, the minimum penalties double

:13:04.:13:05.

The A6 in Northamptonshire will remain closed between Rothwell

:13:06.:13:17.

and Desborough until the end of February.

:13:18.:13:19.

The road was shut last week following the discovery

:13:20.:13:21.

That's all from me for now, let's join Stewart and Susie

:13:22.:13:30.

following the suicide of a man who was mentally ill.

:13:31.:13:42.

An inquest jury found that Dean Saunders had been 'let down'

:13:43.:13:46.

The Prison Ombudsman says staff "did too little to protect" him.

:13:47.:13:54.

You're watching Look East with Stewart and me.

:13:55.:13:56.

Coming up next, the Duchess of Cambridge on a fund-raising drive

:13:57.:13:58.

The regional weather is staying very cold -

:13:59.:14:01.

And, the starring role played by pupils at a school in Suffolk

:14:02.:14:09.

The Duchess of Cambridge was in Norfolk today.

:14:10.:14:13.

Supporting a charity which provides hospice care for chidlren with life

:14:14.:14:16.

The East Anglia Children's Hospice looks after 750 young

:14:17.:14:19.

And is spear-heading a fund-raising appeal to build

:14:20.:14:23.

Today, she met children and their families at the charity's

:14:24.:14:28.

Four year old Nell Cork presents the Duchess of Cambridge with a posy

:14:29.:14:32.

Her family one of the many who have received care

:14:33.:14:37.

This was Nell's five year old brother Finnbar in November 2015.

:14:38.:14:43.

Four months later he'd been diagnosed with a brain tumour.

:14:44.:14:46.

He was a lovely five-year-old boy. He loved riding his bike, Star Wars,

:14:47.:15:01.

friends and going to school. It was only really this time last year when

:15:02.:15:07.

he was in hospital that we knew he wasn't well. It progressed very

:15:08.:15:15.

quickly. It was difficult to get out of bed some mornings. You have too,

:15:16.:15:20.

especially when we have other children to look after.

:15:21.:15:25.

The Duchess of Cambridge was at Quidenham as a

:15:26.:15:27.

But for the families she was also here as a mother.

:15:28.:15:33.

Listening to their stories. But she also shared the fun side of life. My

:15:34.:15:40.

daughter asked her what it was like to be a princess. She said she got

:15:41.:15:45.

looked after very well by her husband. She said her children like

:15:46.:15:53.

to run off in different directions, so it must be very hard work to have

:15:54.:16:00.

four. You can see she genuinely cared. Two years ago, an appeal was

:16:01.:16:10.

launched. This site is limited in size and accessibility and they

:16:11.:16:14.

cannot expand to cope with increased demand. There is no hydro pool here,

:16:15.:16:22.

which is something which has benefited her. But travelling to

:16:23.:16:28.

Cambridge is too long journey. With the new hospice, that is something

:16:29.:16:34.

they will have. The quality of care here is first-class. But that is in

:16:35.:16:43.

spite of the building, not because of that. We will be able to provide

:16:44.:16:46.

much more planning new hospice is built. The fundraising is now

:16:47.:16:58.

halfway. In the meantime, the care and support and giggles will go on.

:16:59.:17:05.

The Chelsea Flower Show is used to staging all sorts of weird

:17:06.:17:08.

Well, this year, they are planning an eye-catching attraction.

:17:09.:17:11.

To draw attention to the plight of neglected horses.

:17:12.:17:14.

So how do you tell the story of the work of a charity?

:17:15.:17:20.

The Norfolk based World Horse Welfare organisation?

:17:21.:17:25.

It started with Clippy who was left abandoned outside

:17:26.:17:36.

His suffering unnoticed until he was rescued.

:17:37.:17:39.

Clippy's story has been transferred to the drawing board and will soon

:17:40.:17:44.

take pride of place at the world's most prestigious flower show.

:17:45.:17:50.

The idea for this is to show how animals can be rescued and re-homed.

:17:51.:18:02.

This is the area that shows where animals are forgotten about. Then we

:18:03.:18:08.

move into an area which is open to the sky and the sun.

:18:09.:18:15.

It's all thanks to a donation from a supporter of Snetterton based

:18:16.:18:18.

The charity, which is celebrating its 90th birthday,

:18:19.:18:22.

Hopefully this will attract more people to come and find out about

:18:23.:18:34.

the work of the charity. Increasingly, charities are teaming

:18:35.:18:39.

up with sponsors and garden designers to promote their cause at

:18:40.:18:44.

the Chelsea flower show. It is an international stage.

:18:45.:18:49.

With a host of gold medals from Chelsea behind them,

:18:50.:18:51.

Jonathan and Adam have a special affection for their latest garden,

:18:52.:18:54.

almost all of its 800 plants sourced from a nursery in Norfolk.

:18:55.:18:57.

This is about getting people to reflect on the importance of

:18:58.:19:03.

charities. And helping animals. If they can get more supporters to

:19:04.:19:07.

enable them to do so, that has got to be a good thing.

:19:08.:19:12.

While Clippy is nursed back to health,

:19:13.:19:13.

the hope is this garden should ensure that will horses like him,

:19:14.:19:16.

This week, the town of Milton Keynes is celebrating its 50th birthday.

:19:17.:19:24.

What started off as a group of villages in rural Buckinghamshire

:19:25.:19:26.

is now one of our fastest growing towns.

:19:27.:19:32.

It also takes its art very seriously.

:19:33.:19:35.

And it's hoping to become a European Capital of Culture.

:19:36.:19:38.

Louise Hubball has been on a cultural tour of Milton Keynes.

:19:39.:19:48.

Around the many corners of Milton Keynes

:19:49.:19:51.

you will find public statues fluid sculptures.

:19:52.:19:53.

like this horse standing outside a bank with the same logo.

:19:54.:19:58.

This shopping centre installation celebrates this accessible art that

:19:59.:20:00.

has always been at the heart of the town.

:20:01.:20:03.

the idea is for you to go out and find the originals yourself.

:20:04.:20:09.

I think art is always about thinking about what will come next. How can

:20:10.:20:20.

you construct a space which will work 50 years from now or 100 years?

:20:21.:20:29.

It makes sense to integrate art into the urban fabric. Over the years,

:20:30.:20:38.

there has been far more going on in the art scene than just these

:20:39.:20:40.

brutalist beasts. In 1988 roads were closed

all types of music. But they had no idea Milton Keynes

was about to be developed My father really grew to love Milton

venue. Stadium MK is also developing

:21:25.:21:26.

as a concert venue, theatre is thriving,

:21:27.:21:31.

and MK Gallery is undergoing They have decided to bid for

:21:32.:21:43.

European capital of culture in 2023. No-one would have expected that of

:21:44.:21:49.

Milton Keynes years ago. But I think it demonstrates the energy and

:21:50.:21:50.

activities that you see today. So the concrete cows may be living

:21:51.:21:55.

out their retirement But the success and vitality
