Hello and welcome to the first Look East of the new week.

Thousands suspected of online child abuse -

now the police look to prevention rather than arrest.

but we cannot arrest our way out of it.

are too many crimes to investigate them all -

that's the police's view of the shocking rise

in online child sex abuse. They suspect 2900

people have accessed indecent images of children

in our region in For example, in Northamptonshire,

there was a 640% And in Bedfordshire, two to three

people are being arrested each week. Now a child protection charity has

teamed up with police forces to encourage sex offenders

themselves to seek help. The Cambridge professor found

month suspended sentence. Police forces in our region

Bedford, a seized phone is examined to see what

have to prioritise. We obviously can't investigate

every one of those. We have to identify those we can

make a meaningful outcome with and those we are able

to do something with. So, demand placed

on us is increasing. We are duty-bound

with our partners, to identify how we can respond

to those reported crimes. This is a hard drive that

has been confiscated. The boxes and shelves

here are full of them, along with computers, laptops,

all kinds of devices. Here in Bedfordshire,

2-3 people a week are arrested for indecent

images offences. In the back of my mind,

Look East, Bedford. We heard there that the Lucy

explained to me how viewing regular pornography online can act

as a gateway to illegal content. We've worked with over 2000 of those

from looking at sexual material of adults to sexual

material of teenagers So, there is certainly

is looking to access indecent images that currently exist of children,

they will get a message from their Internet service provider or indeed

from Google to say that this such material is illegal,

a vulnerable prisoner died 45-year-old Michael Cameron

and died two days later in hospital. There have been concerns

about the regime at the prison - which has had 18 self-inflicted

deaths in the past four years. Kate Bradbrook has

Michael Cameron came to die at Woodhill prison. We heard to the

35-year-old had a history of using cocaine and was also alcohol

dependence. He was not to be at risk of suicide. In April last year, he

was found hanged in his cell. Yet been arrested on suspicion of

attempted murder, Michael Cameron was meant to take drugs. The inquest

heard that while in police custody, he was aggressive. Punching his cell

walls and tying clothing around his neck. He is in constant watch. When

he was transferred to Woodhill prison, he was assessed as being

high risk and you can inject every 30 minutes. On the 26th of April, he

was checked at 5:40pm, his neck check with the sixth NPM but, at

6:16pm, he was found hanged in his cell. -- due at 6:10pm. It was asked

whether six minutes could make a difference, they said they were not

two people dead. The A605 near Peterborough

hours of Sunday morning. Two people were killed and one

was seriously injured, but it's believed another man

was in the car. It's not known whether

he was the driver. A couple from Northampton

who were found guilty of 94 child sex and drug offences have today

jailed at Leicester Crown Court. Judge Dean described

Nicholas Taylor as a monster He was given a life sentence,

with a minimum sentence of 18 years and his wife Joan Taylor was given

an 18 year sentence. Firstly, we want to recognise the

Brexit and you get the countries to this period. Without too much

disruption. 442-year-old Matt, lowering business rates is key to

the success of his children. What will get my support is more support

for small businesses. We've seen a lot of incremental increases in

wages, business rates, etc. Anything that bought small businesses on the

high Street. For these first time mothers, the elephant on the room is

the rising pressure on the NHS. Which party will present the next

generation. For a two-day's young generation, the 8th of June is a big

day. Brandon turned 18 and lives for the first time. The NHS is something

high up there that needs to be addressed. And it needs a a lot of

money spent on duty but the demand. And the pressure on top of it. I

feel like that is something that leaves a comment when voting. When

it comes to betting, burdens on business owners will influence

That determines the outcome of this election. -- pains a picture.

Well, I'm joined now by Dr Suzanne McDonald-Walker who's

We've just had local elections in many of our county councils.

Do people tend to vote the same way in a national ballot?

Given that these local elections just before, we will expect them to

vote the same way. Wide? Usually you'd think elections might be a way

to give the governing party of the day a kick but the Tories did very

well on Friday. Lewis Daynes that is true. You get a protest led if the

local elections are mid-term but because this is right by the

election there, we would expect people to vote the way they planned

to any general election. What kind of turn-out

might we expect in June and which parties benefit from high

or low turnouts? I'm not sure it'll be terribly high.

A lot of people are not happy about having a general election. We expect

it to benefit the way that because they have trouble turning out their

villages and it is also good for Labour and the Lib Dems because they

will move into a living areas where they will get more Labour voters and

more remain voters. Ukip support was decimated

in the local elections and we see the Tories moving

to the right, what are What about the moderate

conservatives? It seems to be a bit of a problem working out where they

will again because we have heard a loss about waiver having to be

careful of their Brexit avengers, but not a great deal about how the

Tories will deal with remain voters. If they far to the right, if they

are seen to be undermining things are like Parliamentary solvent free

who they will vote for. Will we get any shocks in the region? Cambridge

is obvious, Northampton North and south could be interesting. They are

quite close. If you debate is worried his wife Glenys, there is a

Ukip about and if you think about that going to the Conservatives,

there will not be any surprises. -- in places that age is close, there

is a Ukip vote. We in the media feel like it's

a very politcally charged time, another general election just two

years after the last, Brexit, Trump in America,

but are most people as bothered They are not, they want to get on

with life and they think politicians should do politics while they get on

their lives. There is not a great deal in that duty as but that may

change. Maybe not. Forum now, thank you.

Time for a round up of the sport now but before we take a look

at our football teams' fortunes, there was a royal visit

for some aspiring Olympic gymnasts and trampolinists.

Let's go to our sports reporter James Burridge,

who's at the Benham Sports Centre in Northampton.

It had to be done. Welcome to the Belgian trampoline gymnastics

academy and if a cameraman in that way, you can see how busy it is on a

night like tonight. They are celebrating 40 years of this

wonderful facility and of course GB got their third silver medal at

One of the really significant things is

that Lydia learned to tell the day of the week by knowing that

pretty confident. It's all down to when they come back hair. We should

be at Wembley. They are guaranteed to finish fourth but there are food

on the gas against Morecambe on Saturday. A third wind in a row set

them up nicely for the play-offs. The goals of flowing, two, three

more without top scorer Danny Helton in the side. Bring on Blackpool. It

is the best laid you get promoted if you can. There is nothing you can do

wrong. You can do anything about it until Sunday when they go up against

a good Blackpool side, then that is when the nerves starts digging in.

That is when the adrenaline pumps and that is the time. Now we will

just prepare as they normally do. To highly charged matches and a

possibility of Wembley. Remission now the only thing that matters. The

extra cash is a bonus. For semifinal and the receipts are pooled and

split among the gloves with the league taking a slice. It'll be

worth the money for us. If we get to the final, depending on the

attendance, the larger the attendance, the greater the amount

we will receive is. We have done something they know where we will

be. That is our aim. If they get to the seaside is, it is Exeter or

Carlisle in the final. Going back to the drawing board, back still in

like this for many others. This was 10:30am on the Slavic cows. A very

long-winded, 30 miles per gallon at times. This is the satellite picture

sharing all the best further to be. Consequently yeah, temperatures

under the cloud looking at about 10- Alan Celsius. Overnight tonight, we

keep that cloud seeding southwards. Some clear intervals and a little

bit of light rain and drizzle. For most of us, a dry night. Pembridge

is generally between 6-8dC but rarely get any breaks, we could

easily Celsius and a touch of Frost. -- temperatures. A frost free night

for most of us with winds easing to a north-easterly. Tomorrow, we still

have more cloud moving to but I think for most of us, it be a dry

day and we will get a bit of brightness sunshine appearing at

times all but not expecting huge amounts. Temperatures at 12-13dC

tomorrow. Higher than today and if we season brightness coming through,

they may get a couple of degrees higher still. We finished the day

again with a loss of talent level yet to be largely dried with a

little bit of brightness and sunshine if we really lucky. That is

Tuesday. When they have high pressure in charge of the day-to-day

when it comes to terms of sunshine. We should see some decent bells and

temperatures responding to around 12 Celsius for many of us got some

sports might reach 17 Celsius, 63 Fahrenheit. Then they get to the

latter part of the week, the whereabouts of talent, dependent on

how its bridges in from the south. At the moment, birthday is looking

largely fine and dry with some brightness and sunshine but cloud

eventually increasing from the south. The major EAPs bottle rain in

the extreme south but from most of us, a dry day. -- we may see a fuse

box. Cloudy skies and handbrake of rain. That could be with us for most

of the day. That is how the rest of the league stands for now, as for

next weekend, expecting some sunny spells and some bands of rain, Shell

is moving in rather erratically north and east lives. -- shallows.

We will have some mild night and they are likely to lose those

frosts. Good night. And we're back with more at 10:30pm. For now, good

evening.
