:00:08. > :00:11.Hello, welcome to Tuesday's Look East.

:00:12. > :00:13.Tackling racism in the police.

:00:14. > :00:15.A former Bedfordshire officer hits out over delays

:00:16. > :00:22.But it wasn't an easy place to go to work every day.

:00:23. > :00:25.You know, I was OK at lower-level with the PCs but senior officers

:00:26. > :00:28.would treat me like a leper, they wouldn't speak to me.

:00:29. > :00:33.The Cambridgeshire company helping Prince Harry rid

:00:34. > :00:39.Find out why the elephants at Whipsnade Zoo were

:00:40. > :00:41.treated to a royal visit from the Queen.

:00:42. > :00:55.And why statues in Bedford have started to talk.

:00:56. > :00:58.First tonight - criticism over delays in investigating racial

:00:59. > :01:01.discrimination in one of our police forces.

:01:02. > :01:05.was awarded more than ?200,000 after taking

:01:06. > :01:10.The court agreed he'd been discriminated against

:01:11. > :01:14.But three years on and the Independent Police Complaints

:01:15. > :01:17.Commission is still investigating 15 police officers and

:01:18. > :01:24.Today Mr Bahra spoke out claiming the delay

:01:25. > :01:40.Harmit Bahra passed his inspector's exam

:01:41. > :01:42.on the first attempt but was never promoted.

:01:43. > :01:44.He says that discrimination he faced cheated him

:01:45. > :01:47.I would've been the first Indian police officer

:01:48. > :01:48.who made it to chief inspector level.

:01:49. > :01:50.No one can understand the damage it has done.

:01:51. > :01:53.It damaged me as a person, it damaged me as a police

:01:54. > :01:56.officer and the reputation of me as a police officer.

:01:57. > :01:57.An employment tribunal in 2014 found that

:01:58. > :01:59.Sergeant Bahra had been discriminated against by

:02:00. > :02:03.Bedfordshire Police on the grounds of his race.

:02:04. > :02:08.11 police officers of Chief Inspector rank and

:02:09. > :02:10.above and four police staff are currently under

:02:11. > :02:13.investigation by the IPCC for suspected gross misconduct.

:02:14. > :02:22.So now they have retired, if they say sorry, we're not going

:02:23. > :02:25.to get involved, we are not interested, the IPCC can't do

:02:26. > :02:35.Even when the IPCC finish their investigation, they

:02:36. > :02:38.refer it back to Bedfordshire Police as the appropriate authority so

:02:39. > :02:44.no matter what the IPCC say, it will go back

:02:45. > :02:46.to Jon Boutcher, if he says I

:02:47. > :02:52.am not interested, he still doesn't have to do anything about it.

:02:53. > :02:55.Speaking on Look East last week, the Chief Constable Jon Boutcher

:02:56. > :02:57.wouldn't be drawn on whether an investigation into 11 the senior

:02:58. > :02:59.officers was indicative of a wider problem.

:03:00. > :03:01.That smacks of institutional racism, doesn't it?

:03:02. > :03:03.The investigation needs to take its course.

:03:04. > :03:05.It might find that there's not been any inappropriate

:03:06. > :03:08.The IPCC told us that the reason they their investigation

:03:09. > :03:15.is taking so long is that it has been complex and resource intensive.

:03:16. > :03:21.It has now reached a significant stage

:03:22. > :03:24.and they are working to bring it to a close.

:03:25. > :03:26.What do you think of Bedfordshire Police's current

:03:27. > :03:28.recruitment drive to bring in more ethnic minority

:03:29. > :03:37.They were having recruiting drives then. The reason they do not achieve

:03:38. > :03:44.anything in 30 years is because you get cases like mine. Recruitment,

:03:45. > :03:47.retention, progression. They have stopped my progression. That is why

:03:48. > :03:51.ethnic minorities cannot progress, no matter how good they are. Kei

:03:52. > :03:58.police told us that the orchestrated by the length of the investigation

:03:59. > :04:06.into Harmit Bahra's case. -- Bedfordshire Police. They look

:04:07. > :04:09.forward to the outcome. They have told us they celebrate diversity and

:04:10. > :04:10.they do not tolerate any discrimination.

:04:11. > :04:12.Well, Inspector Mike Chand from Bedfordshire Police campaigns

:04:13. > :04:15.to get more black and ethic minority officers in the force.

:04:16. > :04:17.I asked him if recruitment drives are enough

:04:18. > :04:19.or if more needs to be done to promote officers like

:04:20. > :04:23.Historically and nationally, the police, I feel, haven't done

:04:24. > :04:25.enough to first of all keep BME candidates,

:04:26. > :04:30.The Government introduced positive action but I think as yet,

:04:31. > :04:33.no force has taken positivity up so I think it's an area

:04:34. > :04:42.We're talking today about a case where the man won

:04:43. > :04:45.his tribunal in three years ago and he claimed that there was an

:04:46. > :04:46.institutional racism acting against him that meant

:04:47. > :04:50.Do you think that perception is a bad thing for people

:04:51. > :04:52.thinking of going into the police force?

:04:53. > :04:56.Well, first of all, I can't comment on a live case so I won't.

:04:57. > :04:59.However, talking about the police force in general,

:05:00. > :05:05.the perception BME people have of the police force is

:05:06. > :05:07.actually they could be racist and historically,

:05:08. > :05:13.and that generally is what people perceive it to be.

:05:14. > :05:15.However, times have changed, people are now joining the

:05:16. > :05:22.system, learning about the system and I think going ahead,

:05:23. > :05:24.if it doesn't change, there'll be some serious issues

:05:25. > :05:28.What more would you like to see done in terms of recruitment,

:05:29. > :05:30.retention and progression of BME officers?

:05:31. > :05:32.Well, I'd like all police forces to take up the option

:05:33. > :05:38.of positive retention, positive promotion.

:05:39. > :05:44.At the end of the day, the law's been made, rules have

:05:45. > :05:47.been engaged by the government in order to solve these issues and if

:05:48. > :05:53.then what's the point of having them there?

:05:54. > :05:55.The demographics of society have changed.

:05:56. > :05:58.If the police forces don't change with them,

:05:59. > :06:01.then I can say they won't be doing the service that the public require.

:06:02. > :06:03.It's not just about the numbers and statistics, is it?

:06:04. > :06:06.Why is it important that the police force reflect

:06:07. > :06:10.Well, ultimately the public are the police and

:06:11. > :06:16.If we're not reflecting our communities then how

:06:17. > :06:20.I mean, ultimately that's the goal of any police force

:06:21. > :06:24.and if communities are not being served because actually there's

:06:25. > :06:26.no one that looks like them, talks like them,

:06:27. > :06:29.understands their culture, then

:06:30. > :06:32.how can you possibly reflect them and how can you serve them?

:06:33. > :06:34.People need to understand that you need BME minorities

:06:35. > :06:41.within the executive ranks so they can make those

:06:42. > :06:44.informed decisions on cultures and communities.

:06:45. > :06:50.Without that, you are simply going to get a biased view of

:06:51. > :06:58.the world and ultimately biased decisions.

:06:59. > :07:00.Inspector Mike Chand speaking earlier.

:07:01. > :07:02.A Cambridgeshire engineering company is helping Prince Harry's charity

:07:03. > :07:05.The Halo Trust in the global fight against landmines.

:07:06. > :07:07.Armtrak, who are based in Burwell, build specialist mine

:07:08. > :07:14.They're used all over the world to remove hidden explosive devices

:07:15. > :07:17.left in the ground in conflict zones, making the land safe again.

:07:18. > :07:22.There are thought to be more than a million mines scattered

:07:23. > :07:26.Some left over from distant wars, many the result of

:07:27. > :07:31.The cost to human life is catastrophic.

:07:32. > :07:33.Across the globe, mines kill over 800 people every month.

:07:34. > :07:36.An international mine banning treaty was introduced 20 years ago,

:07:37. > :07:43.effectively stopping the use of all antipersonnel mines.

:07:44. > :07:45.Now, although some states still do use and produce them,

:07:46. > :07:50.the number's fallen dramatically thanks mainly to this treaty.

:07:51. > :07:54.But perhaps more importantly, tens of millions of mines

:07:55. > :07:56.have been cleared, thanks, in part, to these machines

:07:57. > :08:02.It's got titanium spikes which then rips up the ground.

:08:03. > :08:04.Any mine which is underneath it, it will either explode it

:08:05. > :08:13.Armtrak specialise in robotic machines too.

:08:14. > :08:15.There's too many landmines, it's going to take many

:08:16. > :08:19.As quick as we clear them, other countries are still laying

:08:20. > :08:25.We're making a change, slowly, but not fast enough and every

:08:26. > :08:34.Every one of these machines out there hopefully

:08:35. > :08:38.Armtrac are currently preparing one of these

:08:39. > :08:41.machines for Prince Harry's charity, The Halo Trust.

:08:42. > :08:44.Last week, the prince pledged to continue his mother's legacy

:08:45. > :08:46.to clear the world of landmines.

:08:47. > :08:49.My mother had been shocked and appalled by the impact

:08:50. > :08:54.that landmines were having an incredibly vulnerable people,

:08:55. > :08:57.She didn't understand why more people were not

:08:58. > :08:59.willing to address the cause of so much suffering.

:09:00. > :09:01.She refused to accept that these destructive weapons

:09:02. > :09:04.should be left where they were just because they were perceived as too

:09:05. > :09:16.They cost tens of thousands to build but with the weak pound,

:09:17. > :09:21.However, the real value is in lives saved.

:09:22. > :09:24.Jozef Hall, BBC Look East, Cambridgeshire.

:09:25. > :09:26.Police are appealing for witnesses after thieves used a JCB digger

:09:27. > :09:29.to steal a cash machine from a Cambridgeshire

:09:30. > :09:32.Four men wearing balaclavas used the digger to destroy

:09:33. > :09:35.the wall of the Co-Op store in Longstanton High Street

:09:36. > :09:41.They removed the cash machine from the building and then left

:09:42. > :09:53.The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh have been in the region today

:09:54. > :09:54.visiting Whipsnade Zoo in Bedfordshire.

:09:55. > :09:56.They were there to open a new Elephant Care Centre.

:09:57. > :09:59.The centre will replace an earlier elephant building which was first

:10:00. > :10:04.The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh arrived at Whipsnade Zoo

:10:05. > :10:07.The Queen, in her light lilac outfit,

:10:08. > :10:17.It was hoped that she would feed the elephant the banana, that's

:10:18. > :10:21.what we were hoping but we weren't quite sure on the day so

:10:22. > :10:23.when she actually agreed to do it, that was quite,

:10:24. > :10:28.The phrase that was used, "Would she be minded

:10:29. > :10:32.to actually feed the elephant a banana?"

:10:33. > :10:35.A term I am not familiar with, really, but it was quite nice

:10:36. > :10:38.to hear it and, yes, she was happy to do it.

:10:39. > :10:40.As well as feeding Donna, she met 10-month old baby elephant

:10:41. > :10:43.Elizabeth who's named after the Queen because she was born

:10:44. > :10:47.the day before Her Majesty's 90th birthday.

:10:48. > :10:50.She would behave impeccably and that is part of the training and the bond

:10:51. > :10:52.that the keepers have with our elephants,

:10:53. > :10:54.that we can work with them so closely.

:10:55. > :10:57.So being in such close contact and close proximity of

:10:58. > :11:02.After all the attention during what's been a very long day,

:11:03. > :11:06.this herd of nine Asian elephants are getting ready to be

:11:07. > :11:09.taken inside their new home, a ?2 million centre

:11:10. > :11:13.where they'll be spending their first night.

:11:14. > :11:16.There are also sand mounds to play with

:11:17. > :11:21.or lie against, as elephants prefer to sleep on a slight gradient.

:11:22. > :11:23.Which they're likely to get here lying against a

:11:24. > :11:26.metre deep sand mound for maximum comfort.

:11:27. > :11:29.A few things that have gone in, yeah, with modern days and

:11:30. > :11:32.all that so we've actually got automatic feeders that feed

:11:33. > :11:36.They lower hay nets down from the ceiling at various times

:11:37. > :11:46.We have a special kind of screen that shows the public

:11:47. > :11:49.elephants communicating because they actually communicate by infrasound.

:11:50. > :11:51.Designed by award-winning architects, it's hoped the centre

:11:52. > :11:54.will play host to a growing family of elephants, providing a modern

:11:55. > :11:57.space for them and plenty of pampering for a new generation too.

:11:58. > :12:05.Waseem Mirza, BBC Look East, Whipsnade Zoo.

:12:06. > :12:08.The Royal and Derngate Theatre in Northampton has said today

:12:09. > :12:10.performances of Death Of A Salesman will not go

:12:11. > :12:12.ahead until the 18th of April at the earliest.

:12:13. > :12:15.The production was postponed following the death of the actor

:12:16. > :12:17.Tim Piggott Smith, who died suddenly last week during rehearsals

:12:18. > :12:23.The play was due to have opened last night.

:12:24. > :12:27.The theatre says it is contacting all ticket holders and is working on

:12:28. > :12:29.a contingency plan. That's all from me

:12:30. > :12:31.for now, more at 10:30. For now though, let's join Stewart

:12:32. > :12:48.and Susie for the rest of Look East. She still to come, we will have the

:12:49. > :13:01.weather. And listen to this. John Bunyan here, the next big thing on

:13:02. > :13:09.the tourist trails, talking statues. I often wondered how John Bunyan

:13:10. > :13:12.would speak. Now we move. -- now we know.

:13:13. > :13:14.Have you heard of the racehorse Eminent?

:13:15. > :13:17.Maybe not, but in Newmarket there's a buzz in the air ahead

:13:18. > :13:21.Because Eminent is the son of Frankel, one of the most

:13:22. > :13:24.successful racehorses of all time. It's now four and a half

:13:25. > :13:26.years since Frankel was retired to stud unbeaten.

:13:27. > :13:28.And this season some of his fillies and colts will compete

:13:29. > :13:31.in the Classics for the first time, starting next month

:13:32. > :13:34.Tom Williams has been to see Eminent in training.

:13:35. > :13:38.As with all the fame comes a great expectation.

:13:39. > :13:40.All eyes on Eminent, centre of attention

:13:41. > :13:49.The first offspring for the unbeaten wonder-horse Frankel.

:13:50. > :13:57.Not a trainer around that wouldn't want to work with a mini-Frankel.

:13:58. > :14:01.It is a real privilege to do this, and knowing that he has got ability.

:14:02. > :14:04.The way that he won his maiden was fantastic and everything he has

:14:05. > :14:06.done for us since has lived up to that.

:14:07. > :14:09.How much pressure is on your shoulders, having

:14:10. > :14:20.Luckily he doesn't know about it too much, so that's all right.

:14:21. > :14:23.That's why he is yawning and he is quite happy, but for me

:14:24. > :14:28.This is a great hope for us to be able to put the yard on the map

:14:29. > :14:31.and hopefully he will live up to everything we expect of him.

:14:32. > :14:34.Frankel is widely regarded as the greatest ever racehorse,

:14:35. > :14:36.unbeaten in 14 outings, a Guineas winner, ending

:14:37. > :14:44.an illustrious career with victory on British Champions Day.

:14:45. > :14:47.Eminent has started his career well with a debut win at Newmarket,

:14:48. > :14:51.suggesting Frankel's foals are growing into

:14:52. > :14:58.We had the first crop of two-year-olds last

:14:59. > :15:01.year and the question was whether they would train on.

:15:02. > :15:10.Often the horses are precocious and they don't travel through,

:15:11. > :15:13.but it's had one or two winners this season already so clearly...

:15:14. > :15:16.And the way you look at the horse, Eminent here looks fantastic.

:15:17. > :15:21.Eminent will race at Newmarket's Craven meeting next week.

:15:22. > :15:24.A traditional trial for his Guineas, where he will hope to follow

:15:25. > :15:31.Frankel demolished the field that they in that famous race that

:15:32. > :15:37.And we're probably going to be blessed with a very strong

:15:38. > :15:41.And Frankel could be represented by at least three colts.

:15:42. > :15:47.Unfortunately, you know, if we just had the only one,

:15:48. > :15:51.but there are a lot of other good ones, so he is obviously proving

:15:52. > :15:54.He's a bright hope, and Eminent wants to prove

:15:55. > :15:59.Two friends from Suffolk have just returned home after walking

:16:00. > :16:00.a quarter of the way around the world.

:16:01. > :16:04.Henry Dunham and Sam Crimp set off in May and walked 6500 miles

:16:05. > :16:06.to cross their finishing line in Kathmandu in Nepal.

:16:07. > :16:08.Henry's sister Annie, from Framlingham, died a year ago,

:16:09. > :16:10.after being diagnosed with a brain tumour.

:16:11. > :16:12.The pair have now raised more than ?14,000 for charity, including

:16:13. > :16:27.We'll speak to them in a moment, but first this from Kim Riley.

:16:28. > :16:28.Arrive in Istanbul and head towards Ankara.

:16:29. > :16:31.Planning their big adventure around the kitchen table last May.

:16:32. > :16:32.The trek was Hendry and Sam's contribution

:16:33. > :16:33.to Annie's Challenge, a

:16:34. > :16:36.charity set up in tribute to Annie Hughes' love of life.

:16:37. > :16:42.difficulties, married and had two young children.

:16:43. > :16:45.She lived eight months after her diagnosis.

:16:46. > :16:46.Here supporting early fundraising efforts.

:16:47. > :16:59.She was just 29 when she died, leaving behind her husband,

:17:00. > :17:02.David, and children Lilly and Noah. She was the inspiration that drove

:17:03. > :17:05.They walked beneath blue skies, sheltered from torrential rain.

:17:06. > :17:09.I would have to say being stuck up in

:17:10. > :17:16.the mountains in Romania was very gruelling, for two or three days.

:17:17. > :17:20.Among the places they had taken refuge, a shepard's hut.

:17:21. > :17:24.Later they were arrested by Turkish police for

:17:25. > :17:29.They saw some amazing sites - the view

:17:30. > :17:33.from Mount Sandakphu in the Himalayas.

:17:34. > :17:39.Finally, on the 27th of March, after some 13 million steps,

:17:40. > :17:45.a reception committee of friends and relatives

:17:46. > :17:49.As the banner said - Kathman-done-it.

:17:50. > :18:04.Did you have any idea what you were taking an? Short answer no. We went

:18:05. > :18:11.to the gym a lot and were well-trained but nothing can prepare

:18:12. > :18:16.you that. How much weight did you lose because presumably food was

:18:17. > :18:23.scarce. We did not have the best diet. Bread and jam most nights. We

:18:24. > :18:31.both lost around eight kilograms. You had to take a detour at one

:18:32. > :18:35.point? In India we did. There is a separatist group who can cause quite

:18:36. > :18:41.a bit of mischief and we got two thirds of the way along and tall by

:18:42. > :18:48.our security friend we had to take a very sudden detour so we got a train

:18:49. > :18:52.to Calcutta and then continued our route down to Kathmandu. I know you

:18:53. > :18:57.had helped along the way but what is interesting in the richer companies

:18:58. > :19:04.never be helping -- richer countries know that they helped you, only in

:19:05. > :19:11.the poorer countries. I think it is empathy with the see a struggling

:19:12. > :19:17.and the wanted to help us out. What I do not want to say anything bad

:19:18. > :19:22.about Germans or Austrians! But we found a little but they were not so

:19:23. > :19:26.keen to help. Did you have any very low points you thought you could not

:19:27. > :19:31.continue? There were certainly low point but we never once a vocally

:19:32. > :19:36.said we should give up. In Turkey the political situation once more

:19:37. > :19:41.caused ranks between us and the locals and it was also raining the

:19:42. > :19:48.whole time we were there. -- had caused some banks. But the contest

:19:49. > :19:54.he flew after that. There is a very serious side to this and told me

:24:17. > :24:22.more fine weather today. Some lovely sunshine here on the beach and

:24:23. > :24:26.another photograph looking at Northamptonshire, glorious. The

:25:26. > :25:30.blustery wind in from the west. As we get into the afternoon it will

:25:31. > :25:35.cloud over once more from the north-west and although it will not

:25:36. > :25:42.amount to very much there could be some spots of rain here and there

:25:43. > :25:47.but some will miss that entirely. Slightly fresher conditions behind

:25:57. > :26:03.weather system. Fresher for Easter weekend and the chance of some rain

:26:04. > :26:09.but a brightly on Thursday, killing a lot fresher, chance of an isolated

:26:10. > :26:14.shower in western counties -- feeling a lot fresher. On Friday at

:26:15. > :26:20.the risk of one or two showers but largely dry. Cooler and fresher on
