0:00:07 > 0:00:08Hello and welcome to Look East.
0:00:08 > 0:00:09In the programme tonight:
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Required improvement.
0:00:11 > 0:00:12Made improvements.
0:00:12 > 0:00:21Good news for Northampton General Hospital in a new report.
0:00:21 > 0:00:25We have put an awful lot of work in the last few years and I think that
0:00:25 > 0:00:29has really paid off. Staff have worked hard and continue to work
0:00:29 > 0:00:33hard and it dies that that has been recognised and rewarded by an
0:00:33 > 0:00:34external body.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35A hidden killer.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38The heart condition that can strike sufferers at any time
0:00:38 > 0:00:39Back on track.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41The touring car racing driver back behind the wheel
0:00:41 > 0:00:44after a horrific accident.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48And the West Ham fans who met at Wembley, but only because the man
0:00:48 > 0:00:54on the left here saved the life of the man on the right.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04There's been a big improvement in the care offered
0:01:04 > 0:01:05at Northampton General Hospital.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Three years ago, the watchdog the Care Quality Commission said
0:01:08 > 0:01:09the hospital required improvement.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10Now it's been rated as good.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12That's the second highest of four rankings.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Inspectors said there had been a complete change in culture.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Sam Read has been looking at how the change has happened at a time
0:01:18 > 0:01:22when pressures have been rising.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25At the front line of patient care, Michelle is trying to work out why
0:01:25 > 0:01:30Kevin has a shortage of breath.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34All in a hospital inspectors say is much improved.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35It's done huge amounts for morale.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Our work...
0:01:36 > 0:01:39We've put an awful lot of work in over the last three years.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41And I think that has really paid off.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45The staff have worked hard, they continue to work hard
0:01:45 > 0:01:47and it's just really nice that is being rewarded.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Perhaps the starkest example of the change at this hospital
0:01:50 > 0:01:55is here in accident and emergency.
0:01:55 > 0:02:01Three years ago, the leadership he was rated as requiring improvement.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Now, it's rated as outstanding and that improvement has happened
0:02:04 > 0:02:06at a time when the hospital has become busier than it's
0:02:06 > 0:02:07ever been before.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09A&E attendances are up 10% year-on-year.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11There is still room to improve.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Emergency wait time targets are still being missed
0:02:15 > 0:02:18and inspectors asked for some changes in areas like how medicines
0:02:18 > 0:02:19are managed, but, overall, patients seem happy.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24I've been to visit my grandmother a few times and they've always been
0:02:24 > 0:02:29accommodating to visiting times, that kind of thing.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31The staff are really good.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33They helped me and my baby when we were in hospital.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Sometimes it's a bit on slow on waiting but apart
0:02:37 > 0:02:38from that it is good.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41So this is the rating table from 2014 on the left.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45On the left, the last inspection results.
0:02:45 > 0:02:50Orange showing areas requiring improvement.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53On the right, the 2017 results and green equals good.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57The boss here is proud of what she calls a massive achievement.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59The biggest change in it, I think, really, is the positivity
0:02:59 > 0:03:04from the staff compared to three years ago and the biggest thing
0:03:04 > 0:03:07of importance in that would be that the people here feel that,
0:03:07 > 0:03:10despite the pressure on the NHS, they can actually do things to make
0:03:10 > 0:03:18things better for patients which is why they call come to work.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21This stroke ward has been named in the top ten in the country.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23As demand on services like this continues to rise,
0:03:23 > 0:03:33the challenge for the hospital is to keep improving for patients.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Bernadette Hanney is the head of hospital inspection at the CQC
0:03:37 > 0:03:40who assessed Northampton General hospital in July.
0:03:40 > 0:03:45I asked her what the hospital had done to turn things around.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48I think it's the shared drive that's the stuff had, so, as I say,
0:03:48 > 0:03:52from chief executive to board stuff to ward staff to departments,
0:03:52 > 0:03:54all having a shared goal, that, actually, patient safety
0:03:54 > 0:03:59is the paramount thing and that is what you come to work
0:03:59 > 0:04:02for, to care for your patience and give them the best possible care
0:04:02 > 0:04:04and make sure they are safe.
0:04:04 > 0:04:12While we were there it was busy and sometimes patients weren't
0:04:12 > 0:04:15being cared for in the most appropriate area, perhaps in ED,
0:04:15 > 0:04:18but they still safe in that environment and it was all staff
0:04:18 > 0:04:21and the organisation driving for that same key goal.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23So what does Northampton General have to do now?
0:04:23 > 0:04:32It did have some areas which it needed to improve on.
0:04:32 > 0:04:41In fairness, it was addressing some of those.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44For example, it had quite a high Caesarean rate and obviously it's
0:04:44 > 0:04:46better for women to have a normal, vaginal delivery, and they
0:04:46 > 0:04:48were working on that.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50There are a few housekeeping issues that we found,
0:04:50 > 0:04:52the storage of some medications, and the trust were very
0:04:52 > 0:04:53responsive to that.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Where we were there, they sorted out those issues,
0:04:55 > 0:04:58but actually we want to be in a position where we don't have
0:04:58 > 0:05:02to go in and point out those issues, that the trust is on top of those
0:05:02 > 0:05:03at all times.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06We hear about the pressures on the health service at the moment.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10For a hospital to have made this turnaround,
0:05:10 > 0:05:13what does that say about how things are going on behind the scenes?
0:05:13 > 0:05:14The financial pressure is obvious.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Increasing number of people are going to A&E, so what does it
0:05:17 > 0:05:21say that they have managed to physically turn it around?
0:05:21 > 0:05:24I think it says that they have systems, structures and a culture
0:05:24 > 0:05:32in the organisation that says, yes, we can do this.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35What can we do to the best of our ability?
0:05:35 > 0:05:37And then they work a way to deliver that.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40They have committed staff and staff report a high level of satisfaction
0:05:40 > 0:05:43in their roles and I think if staff are feeling satisfied in their jobs
0:05:43 > 0:05:46they are going to give the best care that they possibly can.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48That transfers to the care they give.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51I think those are the key attributes of the trust during the inspection
0:05:51 > 0:05:57and before and beyond.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Well, our reporter Sam Read is joining us now from Northampton.
0:06:01 > 0:06:11It's been a big turn around for the hospital.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18It has been, at the time with the pressures we talk about DN and a day
0:06:18 > 0:06:22out. I also think it's worth mentioning the role of management.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26The current bosses started her jobs are just a few months before the
0:06:26 > 0:06:31last big inspection three years ago which didn't turn out that well, so
0:06:31 > 0:06:34she has overseen this improvement and we know how important the
0:06:34 > 0:06:38management is. Just on the road in Kettering, the hospital there is an
0:06:38 > 0:06:42special measures and inspectors there is -- inspectors there
0:06:42 > 0:06:45depicted the management as a factor so we know what is important.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46What next for Northampton General?
0:06:46 > 0:06:51Can it achieve the highest rating?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54That's outstanding and they will be going for that. Today might help
0:06:54 > 0:07:01with that. Here is why. One of the biggest issues facing the NHS
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Trigueros nick recruitment. Not surprisingly, doctors and nurses
0:07:03 > 0:07:08want to work at the best performing hospitals. If it is publicly known
0:07:08 > 0:07:14that they are improving and doing well, they will attract staff and
0:07:14 > 0:07:19further improvements for patients.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21A jury has retired to consider whether neglect was a contributing
0:07:21 > 0:07:24factor in the death of a grandmother who set herself on fire
0:07:24 > 0:07:26while in the care of a Peterborough mental health unit.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29The Cambs and Peterborough foundation trust accepts
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Heather Loveridge's handbag wasn't searched when she was admitted
0:07:33 > 0:07:36to the Cavell Centre and she should not have had access to a lighter.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39However the burns specialist who treated Mrs Loveridge said today
0:07:39 > 0:07:41that staff did act quickly and administered the correct first
0:07:41 > 0:07:43aid after she was found ablaze in her bathroom.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Anna Todd is at Huntingdon Town Hall.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49What did he say?
0:07:49 > 0:07:53He said that head the village suffered third-degree burns, the
0:07:53 > 0:07:59worst kind, to 40% of her body. However, he said that she could
0:07:59 > 0:08:03possibly have survived at our general health had been better. She
0:08:03 > 0:08:05had suffered with a long condition and this combined with the magnitude
0:08:05 > 0:08:12of her injuries were what caused that huge problems. With the family
0:08:12 > 0:08:16's agreement, they agreed to switch off the treatment and she died a
0:08:16 > 0:08:21couple of days later. Mr Barnes was asked if staff had requested -- if
0:08:21 > 0:08:24staff had reacted quicker, would that have made a difference.
0:08:24 > 0:08:31Yesterday we heard that stuff went to a cleaner scuppered first. He
0:08:31 > 0:08:36says if she was already on fire, the damage would have been done. He felt
0:08:36 > 0:08:40the staff were great to use a wet towels and poor whitewater on her
0:08:40 > 0:08:44body, that that was the best decision and they did a good job at
0:08:44 > 0:08:46the first eight.
0:08:46 > 0:08:53What are the jury considering?
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Two things, suicide, whether she intended to reasonable doubt to take
0:08:57 > 0:09:01her own life. The second is misadventure, whether this was an
0:09:01 > 0:09:06incident that went too far and she did not mean to kill herself. They
0:09:06 > 0:09:10will also be looking at whether neglect as a factor, the way she was
0:09:10 > 0:09:16looked after at the centre, was that a contributing factor in her death?
0:09:16 > 0:09:23The Judy is expected to return its verdict tomorrow.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26-- The jury is expected to return its verdict tomorrow.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28It's a hidden condition that can kill, out for a run,
0:09:28 > 0:09:30playing football, even going for a walk.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Cardiomyopathy affects one in 500 people and is passed down
0:09:33 > 0:09:34through generations, but most people don't
0:09:34 > 0:09:35even know they have it.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Now a charity is calling for people who have a history of heart
0:09:38 > 0:09:40conditions in their family to get themselves and their
0:09:40 > 0:09:41relatives tested.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Mousumi Bakshi reports.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45Mogul the dog keeps Matt fit.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48He's had to limit his activity level since being diagnosed
0:09:48 > 0:09:51with cardiomyopathy ten years ago.
0:09:51 > 0:09:56You wonder what is it, am I going die, why me,
0:09:56 > 0:10:01is this the end of life as you know it, what can I do, what can't I do,
0:10:01 > 0:10:03where has it come from?
0:10:03 > 0:10:04You go through all those emotions.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Cardiomyopathy is where the heart's muscle is either to thick or too
0:10:08 > 0:10:10spongy or too baggy, so struggles to pump
0:10:10 > 0:10:20blood around the body.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Matt's grandmother died of a heart condition.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Nobody knew what it was but after Matt's diagnosis,
0:10:25 > 0:10:27his family were tested, including his young children.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30After six weeks, we got called back and it's probably the most
0:10:30 > 0:10:31relief I have ever had.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Yes, finding out that they were not carrying the gene is a huge thing.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36I still get emotional about it now.
0:10:36 > 0:10:41So, it's just a relief.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45The level of misdiagnosis is worse for young people because they tend
0:10:45 > 0:10:47to go the doctor looking quite fit and healthy and quite
0:10:47 > 0:10:49often we associate heart problems with larger people,
0:10:49 > 0:10:51older people and not young, fit and healthy people.
0:10:51 > 0:10:59That's where most of the misdiagnosis is.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00The most common symptoms are tiredness, breathlessness
0:11:00 > 0:11:02and heart palpitations, but some people also
0:11:02 > 0:11:04complain about dizziness, chest pain and a swelling
0:11:04 > 0:11:09of the legs and tummy.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11The symptoms they cause can be fairly common symptoms
0:11:11 > 0:11:14and the majority of patients that get symptoms such as breathlessness
0:11:14 > 0:11:16or palpitations won't have anything seriously wrong with their heart,
0:11:16 > 0:11:19but it depends to a degree on the level of concern
0:11:19 > 0:11:21from the general practitioner or from the patient and with that
0:11:21 > 0:11:24in mind that it becomes important for the patient to know more
0:11:24 > 0:11:30about their family history of heart conditions.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32It's serious enough to cause sudden death.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35I have been told by the family doctor if I had carried on the way
0:11:35 > 0:11:41I was before I was diagnosed, I probably wouldn't be here today.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Matt was treated with drugs but eventually
0:11:43 > 0:11:49had open heart surgery.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53It's transformed his life but he knows he is one of the lucky ones.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55New research from Cambridge University indicates that sheep can
0:11:55 > 0:11:57learn to recognise human faces.
0:11:57 > 0:12:02A flock of Welsh Mountain sheep was trained to pick out
0:12:02 > 0:12:04the faces of celebrities, including Jake Gylenhaal,
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Emma Watson and the former US President Barack Obama.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09The animals were tested to see if they could identify the famous
0:12:09 > 0:12:16faces among other photos.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18The experiment's being carried out as part of research
0:12:18 > 0:12:19into Huntingdon disease.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21I wasn't surprised by the results because we'd previously shown that
0:12:21 > 0:12:24sheep can do executive decision-making so they already have
0:12:24 > 0:12:25the brainpower to do the decision-making.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28What I was a bit surprised about was the fact that
0:12:28 > 0:12:34they could recognise people from two-dimensional images.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37The failed Luton airline Monarch has lost a High Court battle over runway
0:12:37 > 0:12:41slots it was hoping to sell.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46Monarch went into administration in October.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50It was hoping to use the 2018 slots to raise money to pay off creditors.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52But the company which deals with the allocations decided not
0:12:52 > 0:12:55to allocate those slots to Monarch and today the High Court agreed.
0:12:55 > 0:13:05Administrators for Monarch say they'll launch an urgent appeal.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Time to hand you over to Susie and Stewart.
0:13:17 > 0:13:27had handled the case.
0:13:30 > 0:13:36The inspiring story behind one of our Weather Watchers, coming up. And
0:13:36 > 0:13:44the inspiring story about Luke Davenport.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46A great story now about the friendship between a
0:13:46 > 0:13:4825-year-old archaeologist and a 94-year-old veteran of D-Day.
0:13:48 > 0:13:49It all goes
0:13:49 > 0:13:51back to when John Henry Phillips met Patrick Thomas last
0:13:51 > 0:13:52year in Normandy.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Patrick had a story to tell.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55During the Normandy landings,
0:13:55 > 0:13:56when Patrick was just 19 years old,
0:13:56 > 0:13:58he was on board a landing craft.
0:13:58 > 0:13:59There
0:13:59 > 0:14:00was a terrible explosion
0:14:00 > 0:14:02and most of the people on board were killed.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05This from Mike Liggins.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07John Henry Phillips is an archaeologist by profession
0:14:07 > 0:14:11but his passion is conflict history.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Last year he met Patrick Thomas on a trip
0:14:13 > 0:14:18to Normandy, and they became friends.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Patrick was in the Royal Navy and was at D-Day in 1944, when
0:14:21 > 0:14:28his landing craft was sunk by a mine.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31The explosion must have lifted the stern up and drove the bows
0:14:31 > 0:14:34under.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36The only thing I could do was get in the water.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38I saw this bloody great deck.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39We were under water.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41So I got out in a hurry.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42John decided he wanted to tell Patrick's
0:14:42 > 0:14:44story on film, and, more to the point,
0:14:44 > 0:14:45wanted to find
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Patrick's landing craft, now at the bottom of the sea.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49You can't recognise anything?
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Not really, no.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57Things have changed so much.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01John has started making a documentary
0:15:01 > 0:15:11film, but now needs more money to
0:15:13 > 0:15:15film, but now needs more money to find the wreck
0:15:15 > 0:15:16and finish the film.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Which is why he's created a crowdfunding campaign.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20I'm not a diver, I'm not a maritime exploder.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22It has become a bit of an obsession.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25I am hoping to find it whilst he is still with us.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27We are on a road trip there.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30If I can find the ship I can change history and I
0:15:30 > 0:15:31can change Patrick's life.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32Patrick's story will be there forever.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34It has become an obsession for John, and
0:15:34 > 0:15:37with Patrick now 94 years young, the quest to find his landing craft
0:15:37 > 0:15:41has become a race against time.
0:15:41 > 0:15:49And John Henry Phillips is here now.
0:15:49 > 0:15:54Somebody says it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Where do you
0:15:54 > 0:16:01start? Patrick was on one of the beaches. You start there. You look
0:16:01 > 0:16:05into the archives, where he was rescued from. You go from there.You
0:16:05 > 0:16:09think you might have found the right place? We have got a series of
0:16:09 > 0:16:14targets that we are aiming to hit in April, it is not until you get under
0:16:14 > 0:16:20the waves that you know what is down there.Why is it important to get it
0:16:20 > 0:16:24done so quickly?It is important because these guys, and Patrick,
0:16:24 > 0:16:28sadly they will not be alone forever. You could find the vessel
0:16:28 > 0:16:31in ten years' time when they are gone but then it is just a bit of
0:16:31 > 0:16:36metal in the English Channel, with Patrick here, it means so much more.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39It is not just about finding the ship, it is about honouring all
0:16:39 > 0:16:43those that lost their lives on the ship. Patrick himself actually goes
0:16:43 > 0:16:49and visit the grave of his best friend.Yes, he lost his best friend
0:16:49 > 0:16:53that be. He has always lacked that place to commemorate where his
0:16:53 > 0:16:57friends went down, because he does not know where the ship was. It is
0:16:57 > 0:17:01finding a place where Patrick came over his friends ended up and know
0:17:01 > 0:17:05that he can commemorate them there. You ignore that there are things
0:17:05 > 0:17:09don't end the place where you are looking that you do not know that
0:17:09 > 0:17:13the landing classes there.When will you know? When we get down there and
0:17:13 > 0:17:18when I have a look. Hopefully in April, when we get on with it.You
0:17:18 > 0:17:27also want to have a memorial. I know you have met the local mayor.Yes,
0:17:27 > 0:17:33in Normandy, he was very accommodating. He gave as the
0:17:33 > 0:17:36blessing, not the official permission, but he placed the search
0:17:36 > 0:17:40and said you could put the Memorial there and have Patrick and be loved.
0:17:40 > 0:17:46And Patrick's reaction to all this? He just cannot believe it. He texts
0:17:46 > 0:17:49me most days to see he cannot believe that this has happened at
0:17:49 > 0:17:54such a late age. It is like a lap of honour for a man that deserves it.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Good luck with raising the money. Good luck with the filming. I hope
0:17:58 > 0:18:01you find what you are looking for.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Five months ago the racing driver Luke Davenport was seriously injured
0:18:04 > 0:18:05in a ten-car pile up.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07He was in a coma for two weeks.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Many thought it would end the career
0:18:09 > 0:18:10of the 24-year-old driver from Cambridge.
0:18:10 > 0:18:11But
0:18:11 > 0:18:13incredibly he's back behind the wheel
0:18:13 > 0:18:15and has been back on the track
0:18:15 > 0:18:16at Snetterton in Norfolk.
0:18:16 > 0:18:21This from BBC Cambridgeshire presenter Chris Mann.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Preparing to get back on track.
0:18:24 > 0:18:30Luke Davenport's long road to recovery almost over.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32The comeback many people believed was almost
0:18:32 > 0:18:33impossible.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35The very badly damaged car of Luke Davenport.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Back in June this ten car accident almost cost
0:18:37 > 0:18:38him his life.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41It left him in a coma with a string of serious injuries.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Fractures to the ankle and tibia and fibula on the left leg,
0:18:44 > 0:18:46and my cruciate ligament on my right knee ruptured.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49My pelvis was also effectively shattered.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Then I broke four ribs, punctured both lungs, and
0:18:51 > 0:19:01my right clavicle.
0:19:01 > 0:19:02Two weeks in a coma.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Do you really want to race again?
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Do you want to get back in that race car today?
0:19:07 > 0:19:08Yes, I can't wait to get back.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10It's ingrained.
0:19:10 > 0:19:11I'm desperate to get back.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14He is behind the wheel for the very first time since the
0:19:14 > 0:19:15crash.
0:19:15 > 0:19:16Luke passed a medical last week.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Once again he has his licence to race.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20In a sport where hundredths of a second are literally
0:19:20 > 0:19:22the difference between success and failure,
0:19:22 > 0:19:23between winning and losing, Luke has
0:19:23 > 0:19:25to prove that not only he has the desire,
0:19:25 > 0:19:27but the ability also and
0:19:27 > 0:19:30that's what has been put to the test here today at Snetterton.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32That is what today is all about, to give him
0:19:32 > 0:19:35a chance to go into the winter, to show he's still around
0:19:35 > 0:19:37and still perfectly functional in a race car.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39And that he is ready to go forward.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42When I watched him drive the pit lane, I am not normally an
0:19:42 > 0:19:45emotional person around race car, but I got quite emotional, because
0:19:45 > 0:19:48for me that was a sign that he had got back to health, fought his way
0:19:48 > 0:19:50through and was back, basically.
0:19:50 > 0:19:51His lap times had impressed the team.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Safely back in the pits, how about those injuries?
0:19:53 > 0:19:54How was that?
0:19:54 > 0:20:01It was relieving that there wasn't any pain
0:20:01 > 0:20:03or anything like that but above all just great
0:20:03 > 0:20:05feeling to get back in a
0:20:05 > 0:20:13car after five months.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Worried that something bad could happen
0:20:15 > 0:20:16again?
0:20:16 > 0:20:22It was a very freak accident we were involved with.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Safety levels in cars these days is such an
0:20:24 > 0:20:25impressive level.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Yes, there are risks, but we will push on.
0:20:27 > 0:20:28We will be all right.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31He passed the test with flying colours.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33So against all odds Luke is on course to be racing
0:20:34 > 0:20:40again next season.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42The West Ham fan from Essex
0:20:42 > 0:20:44whose life was saved at a football match
0:20:44 > 0:20:45by another supporter.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Ian Perry was at Wembley for a cup game
0:20:47 > 0:20:48against Tottenham last month
0:20:48 > 0:20:49when he collpased.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50The fellow supporter was another Ian,
0:20:50 > 0:20:51Ian Pearse,
0:20:51 > 0:20:58who realised how serious the situation was.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00He started CPR before the paramedics arrived.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Today Mr Perry got the chance to thank him in person and said
0:21:03 > 0:21:04they'd now be lifelong friends.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05Gareth George reports
0:21:05 > 0:21:09from Rayne near Braintree.
0:21:09 > 0:21:18Ian Perry meets the man who saved his life. Thank you.Lesson. A
0:21:18 > 0:21:22pleasure to meet you. You have got more colour in your cheeks now.You
0:21:22 > 0:21:29saved my life.I cannot thank you enough.I had to find him, to thank
0:21:29 > 0:21:34him, because without him, I would not be here to day.This is an
0:21:34 > 0:21:37amazing situation that has brought Ian and myself together.I am
0:21:37 > 0:21:42pleased to meet him. Two weeks ago they were here at the London Stadium
0:21:42 > 0:21:47to watch West Ham United. Both love going to games with their families.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51But as he queued at the turnstiles, Ian Perry collapsed. His heart had
0:21:51 > 0:21:58stopped. He was lucky Ian Pearse was nearby, his company supplies
0:21:58 > 0:22:04defibrillators, because of that he knows how to perform CPR.I got him
0:22:04 > 0:22:10onto his back. I started to shout as best I could to anybody who was
0:22:10 > 0:22:13around, to get a defibrillator, knowing the important thing was to
0:22:13 > 0:22:22get his heart restarted. I started a vigorous chest massage. I didn't do
0:22:22 > 0:22:25any ventilation. I just did it gets on his chest and pump it as hard as
0:22:25 > 0:22:30I could which I did for three or four minutes.He kept Ian Perry
0:22:30 > 0:22:35allied and medics took over. An appeal on social media led to the
0:22:35 > 0:22:45meeting today. Both are lifelong fans of West Ham.He was not there,
0:22:45 > 0:22:49he went to Manchester United. Everybody laughed in the adverts. I
0:22:49 > 0:22:53was going to hospital. I came to, the first words I said was, what is
0:22:53 > 0:23:02the score? Always try and meet up at matches. I will never forget him.
0:23:02 > 0:23:08For what he did for me. Really important. If anybody can give any
0:23:08 > 0:23:13advice, visit your local animal and service, the do training sessions --
0:23:13 > 0:23:24visit your local Ambulance Service, they do training sessions.
0:23:24 > 0:23:25And if you want training on CPR skills
0:23:26 > 0:23:27you can get details from
0:23:27 > 0:23:28the Resuscitation Council
0:23:28 > 0:23:31at resus.org.uk.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32In a minute, the weather.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36But first a word about one of our Weather Watchers.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40And a name you might recognise: Carla's Garden.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Just a reminder that if you want to post photos
0:23:42 > 0:23:45of the weather where you live, you can sign up to BBC
0:23:45 > 0:23:46Weather Watchers.

0:23:50 > 0:23:52Garden has become one of our regulars.
0:23:52 > 0:24:00So tonight, her story, in her own words.
0:24:00 > 0:24:05My photos have been used on local news, national weather, and country
0:24:05 > 0:24:19file.I am Carla's Garden. I am aged 57. I joined Weather Watchers after
0:24:19 > 0:24:23having a kidney transplant, a major operation. That is the hostel where
0:24:23 > 0:24:30I had bite dialysis done. It helped me with what I had to go through.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Getting out helped me recover and go further and further each day. I can
0:24:34 > 0:24:42remember being stuck in a ward. You are helping other people who cannot
0:24:42 > 0:24:47get out. Showing them what the sky is like, what the weather is like
0:24:47 > 0:24:53that is why it means so much to me. It is very easy to use. Getting
0:24:53 > 0:24:58online is their way to go. It gets the area where I live norm. I feel
0:24:58 > 0:25:04part of it. No two days are at the same. Every force a graph you take
0:25:04 > 0:25:13of the sky is unique. You look through the pictures, it has got
0:25:13 > 0:25:20that editor's pic stab, that feels good. Definitely do it. Your hobby
0:25:20 > 0:25:22will grow into a passion, like
0:25:23 > 0:25:23good. Definitely do it. Your hobby will grow into a passion, like my
0:25:23 > 0:25:29house.Lovely to meet her. Here is the weather. If you want to become a
0:25:29 > 0:25:37Weather Watchers, just go to their website. But we cannot start their
0:25:37 > 0:25:47weather tonight without a photograph from Carla's Garden. There is also
0:25:47 > 0:25:54another Weather Watchers year with a lovely sunset, taken in Bedford.
0:25:54 > 0:25:59Clear skies mean it is quite a chilly night. As we go through the
0:25:59 > 0:26:07night expect chilly temperatures, cold enough for a touch of frost.
0:26:07 > 0:26:12The cloud was across Eastern counties earlier, but now it is
0:26:12 > 0:26:17clear skies. Cold enough for a touch of frost, temperatures close to
0:26:17 > 0:26:22freezing. More clouded by the end of the night, perhaps if you spots of
0:26:22 > 0:26:26light rain. Temperatures are likely to recover, they will be higher by
0:26:26 > 0:26:30the end of the night. It is tied into this weather front which will
0:26:30 > 0:26:35be around for most of the morning. A chilly start to the DA tomorrow.
0:26:35 > 0:26:40Quite a damp start. Outbreaks of light rain or drizzle. Brighter
0:26:40 > 0:26:44skies as the day goes on. There should be sunshine across many parts
0:26:44 > 0:26:52of the region. Still on the chilly side. There should be some pleasant
0:26:52 > 0:26:56autumn sunshine around. Looking ahead, it will turn cold into the
0:26:56 > 0:27:00weekend. This weather system coming in from the north-west will bring
0:27:00 > 0:27:06rain overnight Friday into Saturday, introducing Calder are behind it. By
0:27:06 > 0:27:10the weekend temperatures are likely to be law, chilly days, frosty
0:27:10 > 0:27:16nights. Friday, it largely dry and bright day. Increasingly cloudy.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20Perhaps some sunshine to stack the. Eventually that rain moving through.
0:27:20 > 0:27:25Some of that could be on the heavy side. By Saturday, brighter skies,
0:27:25 > 0:27:31sunshine, but it will be cold. The Guptill 's wind speeds. Moderate
0:27:31 > 0:27:35north-westerly 's, Battle introduce a wind chill factor. Chilly days and
0:27:35 > 0:27:35frosty nights on the
0:27:35 > 0:27:39a wind chill factor. Chilly days and frosty nights on the way.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43That is all for now. We will be back same time, same place, tomorrow
0:27:43 > 0:27:49night. Goodbye.
