:00:00. > :00:08.for life for killing her half sister.
:00:09. > :00:12.we look at why the number of rough sleepers in some of our
:00:13. > :00:18.And a lucky escape for Saints - no punishment for letting
:00:19. > :00:28.an apparently concussed George North play on.
:00:29. > :00:32.First tonight, she was described by the judge
:00:33. > :00:38.Yvonne Caylor disguised herself as a man before forcing her way
:00:39. > :00:40.into her half sister Nicki Collingbourne's Letchworth
:00:41. > :00:48.Today, she was sentenced to life in prison, as our Home Affairs
:00:49. > :00:53.Why do you think they looked like a man?
:00:54. > :00:58.From the moment Yvonne Caylor was arrested by police,
:00:59. > :01:06.disguised as a man on the way to murder her sister,
:01:07. > :01:14.Well, it can't be me, I couldn't push a
:01:15. > :01:18.We believe it's you, you said it's not.
:01:19. > :01:25.53-year-old Caylor killed her 26-year-old half-sister
:01:26. > :01:27.Nicki Collingbourne after tricking her into opening the door.
:01:28. > :01:34.flat in Letchworth in May this year, her motive was to stop Nicki
:01:35. > :01:36.from giving evidence against her at a burglary trial.
:01:37. > :01:39.The murder weapon - this ceramic chicken-shaped pot that
:01:40. > :01:45.Caylor picked up and brought down on her sister's head.
:01:46. > :01:48.A member of the family found Nicki's body in the flat.
:01:49. > :01:50.The killer mutilated her while she was still alive,
:01:51. > :01:54.trying to make it look like a suicide.
:01:55. > :01:56.Sentenced to a minimum 27 years in jail, the judge told
:01:57. > :01:58.Caylor she was a violent, dishonest, deceitful,
:01:59. > :02:07.He said it was chilling to hear her speak of her sister without
:02:08. > :02:13.She has lied and been truly dishonest throughout the whole
:02:14. > :02:19.The manner in which she killed Nicki has
:02:20. > :02:33.not only been very tragic and a gruesome set of circumstances.
:02:34. > :02:37.Caylor had gone to a fancy dress shop for advice on how

:03:15. > :03:21.Every winter, councils take a snapshot of how many
:03:22. > :03:23.people are on the streets on one given night.
:03:24. > :03:26.And it's the bigger towns that have seen the sharpest rise.
:03:27. > :03:28.In Cambridge the number has more than doubled
:03:29. > :03:30.since this time last year - with 40 people sleeping rough
:03:31. > :03:39.and in Milton Keynes the figure has nearly trebled.
:03:40. > :03:43.Two years ago, Andrek was living under a bridge,
:03:44. > :03:51.at this Mexican restaurant in Cambridge.
:03:52. > :03:53.Andreas, who was homeless for seven years, prison on and off
:03:54. > :03:58.for many more, is on work experience, but he says not all

:04:23. > :04:25.Comfort who say a clogged housing system is causing a huge rise in
:04:26. > :04:33.We're seeing a massive increase in service
:04:34. > :04:37.users and people who present on a daily basis they say
:04:38. > :04:42.We've seen an increase over the past five years on a regular
:04:43. > :04:45.basis and, since January this year, we've seen an 18% increase.
:04:46. > :04:47.Boss Luis Navarro nurtures talent regardless of
:04:48. > :04:53.background and think others should do the same.
:04:54. > :04:59.We have also all the type of problems like
:05:00. > :05:02.There are great opportunities there to work with
:05:03. > :05:04.people that really deserve the chance.
:05:05. > :05:11.For businesses, it makes sense.
:05:12. > :05:15.This is not something we do from a charitable
:05:16. > :05:21.point of view, we do these because it works.
:05:22. > :05:25.Luis, who owns this restaurant, says he's noticed a huge
:05:26. > :05:28.rise in a number of homeless people in Cambridge in recent years.
:05:29. > :05:30.He's from Mexico City where the problem is huge.
:05:31. > :05:32.He said if not more is done to help then people
:05:33. > :05:35.become desensitised and no one notices any more.
:05:36. > :05:37.In Stevenage, rough sleepers were counted at five last year.
:05:38. > :05:41.This evening, an event is being held here, inviting homeless people for
:05:42. > :05:43.a meal, Christmas gifts and care packages.
:05:44. > :05:54.We are only doing a tiny part, we're just a
:05:55. > :05:57.Sadly, every time those pieces get good together,
:05:58. > :06:00.something breaks that puzzle up and we have to start again.
:06:01. > :06:03.Experts say the actual number of rough sleepers
:06:04. > :06:06.in our towns may be far higher than
:06:07. > :06:18.Sport, and Northampton Saints have escaped punishment for the way
:06:19. > :06:21.they dealt with a head injury to their winger George North
:06:22. > :06:24.Medical staff allowed him to stay on despite footage
:06:25. > :06:26.which appeared to show that he was knocked unconscious.
:06:27. > :06:33.James Burridge reports from Franklins Gardens.
:06:34. > :06:35.There is a huge sense of relief here in Northampton
:06:36. > :06:41.tonight as a result of
:06:42. > :06:43.this verdict of the George North's suspected concussion.
:06:44. > :06:46.Well, because the player is one of the
:06:47. > :06:49.He is also, though, one of the most concussed.
:06:50. > :06:52.So, when questions are being raised about how this place looks
:06:53. > :06:54.after one of its own, it becomes a big story.
:06:55. > :06:57.This was the incident which has caused so much controversy.
:06:58. > :06:59.George North lying motionless after a midair tackle
:07:00. > :07:05.The medical team immediately running to treat him.
:07:06. > :07:09.North was given a pitch side assessment, lasting eight minutes,
:07:10. > :07:12.Like all premiership clubs, the medics reviewed the incident
:07:13. > :07:14.on computers, but they missed these particular replay shots,
:07:15. > :07:16.which appeared to show the player concussed.
:07:17. > :07:19.The club accepts North may have lost consciousness and should not
:07:20. > :07:26.The investigation panel are not going to punish the club.
:07:27. > :07:28.They believe they acted in the player's best
:07:29. > :07:33.interests and followed the correct medical procedures.
:07:34. > :07:40.That's their immediate priority in everything that they do.
:07:41. > :07:43.Not about winning games, not about helping me get better
:07:44. > :07:46.players out on the field or back out, it is always player welfare.
:07:47. > :07:49.And they have admitted that if they saw a different
:07:50. > :07:56.view of the incident, they would have reacted differently.
:07:57. > :07:58.Two years ago, I filmed behind-the-scenes with
:07:59. > :08:08.They train to try and prevent cases like George North's
:08:09. > :08:15.This investigation has effectively blamed the system,
:08:16. > :08:17.and concluded, with nine recommendations, to make sure
:08:18. > :08:23.this type of incident does not happen again.
:08:24. > :08:26.Lenny Newman is a former first-team manager and player at Northampton
:08:27. > :08:28.who missed a whole season because of concussion.
:08:29. > :08:31.I mean, the club admit they got it wrong, but they have
:08:32. > :08:41.see how there can be any punishment for what is,
:08:42. > :08:44.that is not up to scratch with modern-day professionalism.
:08:45. > :08:47.The worrying thing is, if anything, the only thing the medical staff
:08:48. > :08:49.at Northampton should have done is pulled the player
:08:50. > :08:59.if there is any reasonable doubt that he had been concussed.
:09:00. > :09:01.George North all along has said he was not concussed,
:09:02. > :09:04.has since returned to training, and has been cleared
:09:05. > :09:07.But it is clear the system and the means of protecting players
:09:08. > :09:18.Now, since today's verdicts, some of question why there
:09:19. > :09:20.hasn't been a punishment when you consider how players get
:09:21. > :09:23.lengthy ban for high tackles near the shoulder
:09:24. > :09:32.or neck, but there doesn't appear to be any correlation.
:09:33. > :09:35.I think even though there are actually any
:09:36. > :09:38.repercussions for the club, there are implications in the long term
:09:39. > :09:41.Investigations are continuing into the cause of a fire
:09:42. > :09:43.on the Earlstrees industrial estate in Corby earlier today.
:09:44. > :09:49.70 firefighters from three counties tackled the blaze.
:09:50. > :09:52.were warned to keep doors and windows closed
:09:53. > :10:03.That's the late news from Look East - I'll leave
:10:04. > :10:12.A cloudy picture across some of the region had been
:10:13. > :10:14.moment but, as we go through the night,
:10:15. > :10:15.clear skies developing with
:10:16. > :10:19.We are expecting lows down close to freezing.
:10:20. > :10:22.It brings the risk of some icy patches where we had those
:10:23. > :10:26.earlier showers and certainly a risk of frost as we get through to first
:10:27. > :10:29.Now, tomorrow morning's pressure passengers high pressure building
:10:30. > :10:32.chilly start and, through the morning,
:10:33. > :10:35.certainly looking like there will be some long spells of
:10:36. > :10:37.sunshine once the mist and fog has lifted.
:10:38. > :10:39.So, temperatures rising in the sunshine to around 6-7 C.
:10:40. > :10:41.Still on the chilly side with a light,
:10:42. > :10:45.Our wind will increase as the day goes on and into

:10:49. > :10:51.The national weather's coming up but here's the outlook.
:10:52. > :10:53.A windy forecast expected for Friday, rather
:10:54. > :10:54.cloudy with rain pushing in
:10:55. > :11:01.later and rather windy but mild for the Christmas weekend.
:11:02. > :11:04.good for us. Mild by the time we reach Christmas Day.
:11:05. > :11:09.Hello there, there is wet and very windy weather on the way in the
:11:10. > :11:15.run-up to Christmas. The worst of the weather to the northern half of
:11:16. > :11:19.the UK. We have a strengthening jet out of North America that is
