The father of a suspected computer hacker who is facing extradhtion

to America has issued his gravest warning yet - that his son

will take his own life rathdr than serve time in a US prison.

Lauri Love, from Suffolk, is wanted in America to facd charges

of hacking agencies like Nasa and the FBI.

His father, the Reverend Aldxander Love, is convinced his son will kill

himself rather than go to America in custody.

We'll hear from him after this from Kevin Burch.

For Lauri Love, the stakes could not be higher,

fighting three requests for extradition from the three

districts in the states where the alleged hacks took place.

That means that if convicted on all charges and the subsdquent

sentences run consecutively, the total jail term could bd

would rather be dead than bd there on my own. Tell me about yotr son's

condition. When were you first aware of it? In terms of the autism, we

only found out about it when all this started. Basically, we always

thought he was just very brhght very clever. A genius, really. We

never really noticed how difficult it was. And, in some ways, H feel

really guilty and my wife is a measure of guilt but we did not

notice. Body can't cope with years away from you? Twice he has gone

away, once to Nottingham Unhversity. Within a few weeks of being there,

he had an emotional and physical collapse. We just couldn't cope

and seemed confident and on top of things, but we see the other side of

Lauri. We see him when he s`ys, my Lauri. We see him when he s`ys, my

life is worthless. If it wasn't for you too, and this is a direct quote,

I would have killed myself beforehand. Did you know wh`t he was

doing on the computer? No. H can work a computer. I had no idea what

he was doing. Have you asked him why he was doing it? I decided from the

very beginning of this that my job was to be his father, not hhs

interrogator and investigator. Because there were other people more

than able and determined to do that. Did he know that he was doing

something he shouldn't be doing That is a much more difficult

question to answer. In Laurh 's mental condition, E has a sdries of

default settings of what is right and what is wrong, which ard not

normal, in that sense. So I think you did not necessarily feel what he

was doing was wrong. He belheved what he was doing was right. When

you wake up in the middle of the night, what do you think about? My

son. I have been a Christian, I became a Christian just abott 5

years ago. Two things you should know about me. I fear got

I love my son. So when I sax I am I love my son. So when I sax I am

concerned about his welfare, I mean it. Also, my confidence in the end

is in God. But I must admit, my is in God. But I must admit, my

faith has been stretched a little bit here, because I feel th`t it is

the Love family that is the whole might of America. And it is not an

even contest. You say that hf you send us after go to America, he

could take his own life. Yes. I believe that is a strong... Not just

a possibility, but I think ht is almost a probability. Would you

still believe in God? Yes. Would I be angry with God? Possibly. Thank

you very much. OK. Fans of the group Take That have

to the First World War. The village was a sanctuary to treat

patients with tuberculosis. In 1979, surgeons performed the UK's

first heart transplant. Its international

national headlines. The year, 1995, and riots

were sweeping through Those shocking scenes are now

the inspiration for a new drama The production has been funded

by money from the Arts Council. They are putting in more

than ?2 million over the next five years to stimtlate

and encourage the local arts scene. On the eve of this weekend's

performances, Louise Hubball has Where youth unemployment

seeps like... like a poisonous chemical

through its foundations. This play has been written by people

who grew up on Marsh Farm and is being performed

by people who live there. It recalls the heated events of July

1995 and will be performed What's so nice about this is we re

going to take a story and wd're going to play it back to thd people

whose story it is as well, And it's a combination of mdssage

and art and it's creative Even though the riots can bd seen

as a very negative thing. REPORTER: More than 200

youths took to the streets on the Marsh Farm Estate, attacking

many buildings indiscriminately But on Saturday night,

there was a rave on the outskirts of the town which, many belheve

calmed the troubles. Luton has been targeted

to receive nearly ?2.2 millhon of Arts Council England funding

because of its low levels This project, run by Revoluton Arts,

is part of that. We talk about the health

service, very important. We talk about schools,

very important. But the social fabric,

the way that we kind of connect Well, arts is the best kind

of instrument that we have for that, for coming together,

reflecting on who we are. And for the young actors involved,

it's been a chance to engagd with both local

history and the arts. So I used to live on Marsh Farm

for a bit, and no one ever And it's just a new thing

to the younger generation, H guess. The fact that I'm hearing

this and seeing the play and being involved in it,

I feel that I am actually a part of the history,

and part of the next generation And I'm proud to say that

I am a Marsh Farmer. I think Luton is a really exciting

place to be at the moment. There's a lot of creative pdople

in the town and inspiration The play will be performed over

the weekend on the Marsh Farm estate Tickets can be reserved

and you can pay what you thhnk the performance is worth,

or what you can afford. Let's move on to sport,

and there are plenty of eye,catching fixtures in the football,

with Norwich and Brighton mdeting each other in a top of the table

clash in the Championship. And the chairman of Northampton

Saints comes out fighting as the storm clouds gather over

Franklin's Gardens. It is a critical game from

Northampton against Gloucestershire in the premiership. They were the

premiership championship -- champions a few years ago. Now there

is disarray amongst the club and the fancier. They hope for a ch`nge in

fortunes. But today the chahrman has come out fighting. He has come out

in support of the managerial team and believes they can save the

Saints. I do not think there is a specific

area where it has gone wrong. We had a tough start in fixtures at

the beginning of the season. But, you know, in sport,

there are highs and lows in sport. I have been involved here shnce 1988

and we have had fantastic successes but we have had

the low moments as well. And we want to win every wedk,

but in sport, in a very competitive league, like the Aviva Premhership,

it is not always possible. What are the players

saying to you the moment? Everyone I have spoken to this week

wants to put good that And so they want to bounce back very

positively tonight in the g`me. I have spoken to the fitness guys,

the coaches, everyone is up for it. So we just have to hope we get

the right result. I know you have spoken

with Jim recently. He is obviously upset about the way

that things have gone latelx. Are you confident that he

can turn this around? Because inevitably, after tdn years,

it is understandable that pdrhaps that message to the players get

a little bit stale at times. Is he still your man for thd job,

and Dorian West as well? I have total confidence

in them and total faith. Again, if you look at sporthng

analogies, you look at the Wengers of this world and the Fergusons

they were successful over mtch So, because you're there for a long

period doesn't mean that is wrong. It can be quite the reverse.

It can lead to successful pdriods. I am not worried

at the moment, no. Don't get me wrong, I want

us to be successful. I have been here since 1988,

involved in here since then. We want to be successful but I do

have that faith in the coaching team We have a fantastic squad of

players, but it is just the nature. It is a team that has to gel

on the day and sometimes it does I am hopeful and confident

it will gel tonight. Tony, thank you very much

On Wednesday this week, we reported plans by BT to review

the future of dozens of red telephone boxes across the region.

That report had many of you seeing red.

And, well, reaching for the telephone.

They included Look East viewers from West Row in Suffolk.

You would have thought it h`d just come off the production mind.

Shiny and new, but no telephone inside.

Just how on earth did this get in your back garden?

He says, my suggestion is to convert them into multi-network points,

where anyone with a mobile phone can make an emergency call.

Dee says, they could make the boxes into Wi-Fi hotspots.

And Diane thinks that they would make a great homeless sheltdr.

But what do you do if you c`n't afford one but you would

like to keep a traditional red phone box?

This 90-day consultation me`ns that people can get in touch

with their local councils, and some people might

want to remove the boxes, some people might want to kdep them.

Or they can adopt them from us for just ?1.

And the deadline for this is the end of January.

Whether you want to adopt one or dig deep and buy one yourself,

it is your chance to save a piece of local history.

We should say thank you to `ll of you who got in touch. A lot of you

like today, hopefully the cloud fins and breaks to allow brightndss and

So once the mist and fog has gone, it should be fine and dry again with
