:07:17. > :07:18.research and development is very research and development is very
:07:19. > :07:22.significant and I'm told to get a lot of that coming our way. The
:07:23. > :07:28.Chancellor said today those are things like research and development
:07:29. > :07:29.space we search, driverless cars, all things that we are very good at
:07:30. > :07:33.here in the east. Thank you, Andrew. A pioneering sexual
:07:34. > :07:34.assault referral centre has been officially opened
:07:35. > :07:36.at Hinchingbrooke Hospital today. The Elms aims to put
:07:37. > :07:39.the victim first by focusing on their
:07:40. > :07:40.health and wellbeing, while at the same time gathering
:07:41. > :07:42.evidence for prosecution. Louise Hubball has been
:07:43. > :07:45.to take a look around. Opened today by Baroness Newlove,
:07:46. > :07:47.the Government's Her husband, Gary,
:07:48. > :07:55.was murdered ten years ago. For her, this new centre
:07:56. > :07:58.for such a assault victims is a national model, merging
:07:59. > :08:01.police and medical care under one So, I think it works very well,
:08:02. > :08:09.because there is nothing worse It means having the strength to go
:08:10. > :08:17.and visit another place to speak to another individual, where
:08:18. > :08:19.this builds on the relationship. This is from the
:08:20. > :08:20.victims' perspective. This whole centre is
:08:21. > :08:22.focused on the victim. There are examination
:08:23. > :08:24.rooms with those who have just been attacked,
:08:25. > :08:26.and also homely counselling spaces. This young women was
:08:27. > :08:28.raped and has been supported by a similar
:08:29. > :08:30.referral centre. Her words, spoken by an actor,
:08:31. > :08:32.to protect her identity. There was a nurse
:08:33. > :08:36.and a support worker. They made me feel at
:08:37. > :08:38.ease and examined me. The room we are in now,
:08:39. > :08:41.it's beautifully furnished. There are flowers, how
:08:42. > :08:56.much a difference does that kind of thing make when having
:08:57. > :09:03.to go through something You need to feel in a place that is
:09:04. > :09:15.warm and relaxing and bright. You don't want to be in a dreary
:09:16. > :09:17.room, where there's nothing It'll just make you feel
:09:18. > :09:21.more low and scared. What do you think about
:09:22. > :09:23.the new centre here? The purpose here is to help
:09:24. > :09:25.victims cope and recover. The presence of a video link system
:09:26. > :09:29.means they can also give evidence By having a court link room
:09:30. > :09:32.within the facility, it actually means that we can bring
:09:33. > :09:35.them into an environment where they are still feeling comfortable
:09:36. > :09:37.and calm and hopefully have some confidence around the support
:09:38. > :09:39.system that's in place. So, the importance of that is
:09:40. > :09:42.that they can give the There's also a specialised
:09:43. > :09:44.section for children. Whatever the age of those
:09:45. > :09:47.who have been abused, the goal to allow them
:09:48. > :09:50.to rebuild their lives. Members of the public
:09:51. > :09:52.in Bedfordshire are being offered free scans to test

:09:55. > :09:56.been in Bedford today The scans aim to pick up any
:09:57. > :10:00.signs of liver damage. These areas have the highest
:10:01. > :10:02.premature death rate from liver Each year more than 200 people
:10:03. > :10:06.are admitted to Bedford Hospital It can be caused
:10:07. > :10:09.by obesity diabetes, Liver disease is know
:10:10. > :10:12.as a silent killer. That's how the region
