31/10/2016 Look East

Hello, and welcome to the start of a new week on Look East,

The headlines tonight from Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk:

Ten years after the first victim of the Suffolk murders went missing,

we ask if Ipswich is a safer place now than it was then.

We began to see that the women were actually vulnerable and victims as

much as anybody. And the enforcement took far more place against the men

who were buying these girls on the street. And that has effecthvely in

street. And that has effectively in Ipswich got rid of street

prostitution. convicted of the killings,

urges his son to own The best thing to do now would be

for him to say sorry and adlit it. for him to say sorry and admit it.

As for me forgiving him, no way Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy notches

up his fourth year in chargd, but some of the boo boys want him

out of Portman Road. the world of nature gets used to

its new home in Essex. Steve Wright, the killer

who is serving life in jail for the Suffolk murders,

was today urged by his father to say sorry

and to finally admit his guilt. Conrad Wright made his plea

to Look East exactly ten ye`rs after the first young

woman went missing. Tania Nicol was last seen

on the 30th of October 2006. She was 19 years old and worked

as a street prostitute in Ipswich. At the time, her disappearance

was treated as just But over the next six weeks,

four more women disappeared - Gemma Adams, Annette Nicholls,

Anneli Alderton and Paula Clennell. All five were drug addicts,

all five were prostitutes, and all five were murdered

by Steve Wright, who dumped But since then, street

prostitution in the town In a moment, a look back

at the events of ten years ago, Ten years ago, Steve Wright's

killing spree made him Throughout his six-week tri`l,

he maintained his innocence, his motives for murdering fhve

women never revealed. But a jury returned

unanimous guilty verdicts. Now, his father believes

it is time for him to confess. I think the best thing that he could

do now is to say... Well, you know, he could sax

he's sorry and admit it. If he's taken the lives of

five people. There is a little "if"

there all the time. Conrad Wright, seen here

on the left with his son, wants the police to reopen

their investigation. He knows he was convicted, but isn't

convinced he murdered the women But I don't think for one minute

that he was able to do that himself. The way the bodies were just put

around and moved and played with, to my mind, you know,

you don't kill somebody and then take them into a little copse,

if you like, and then start to play around with it and move it about,

into some crucifix position. And I don't think that would even

enter into his mind, normally. Conrad Wright last

saw his son in court. He tried to visit him in prison,

but he refused to see him. Well, I think I'd probably only go

there if he wanted me to go. But I don't think, if I could get

face-to-face with him, Steve Wright was sentenced

to life imprisonment. Ten years on, his father

has this message I don't know, what message

can you give them? You say you're sorry,

which you are, Conrad Wright hopes one day

he will see his son face-to,face Debbie Tubby, BBC Look East,

Suffolk. For several weeks in the winter

of 2006, the whole country's attention turned to the red light

district of Ipswich. A picture emerged of desper`te

young women struggling with drug addiction,

exposing themselves to danger, Just a warning, this report

from our chief reporter Kim Riley Just 19, Tania Nicol was the

youngest victim. Once a sea cadet with ambitions to join the Royal

Navy, these are fathers words after her body was found. Tania w`s a

lovely daughter. She was a caring, loving, sensitive girl. She would

never hurt anyone. Unfortun`tely, drugs took her away into her own

secret world. Ten years on, Jim says his Christian faith has helped him

deal with his loss. At is that his daughter is at peace. Detective

Superintendent Andy Smith joined the police investigation team shortly

after Tania was reported missing and says right from was treated treated

with the utmost seriousness. It was a very challenging investigation but

what I take away from it is how we got the initial response correct.

With the disappearance of T`nia With the disappearance of Tania

Nicol is, we recognise she was high risk early on, it Detective Chief

and it was assigned to the investigation, we utilised ` major

investment -- investigation team and similarly approached all thd

investment -- investigation team and similarly approached all the other

girls. More than 300 officers from 40 different forces were dr`fted in

40 different forces were drafted in to assist this small rural force.

They had to deal with 13,000 calls from the public gallery six 5000

items of evidence, more than 17,000 CCTV exhibits. Just over six weeks,

we were able to catch the person we were able to catch the pdrson

responsible. It was a surreal moment responsible. It was a surreal moment

for me personally, the speed with which the killings were occurring,

and great work, I think, by a number of individuals, from the officers

who were having to guard Major crime scenes of time, to our forensics

coordinators and examining, it was a massive effort for the police,

supported by the public. As the agencies got together, they cared

for the broken, those street girls, and the enforcement took far more

place against the men who were place against the men who wdre

buying these girls on the street. And that has effectively, in

Ipswich, got rid of street prostitution. It was the cr`ving for

drugs that drove the five women to the red light district. Since then,

huge strides have been made here on treating drug addiction, getting

vulnerable sex workers of the street. A town achieving an outcome

others around the country can only others around the country c`n only

envy. Brian Tobin is from the project in

Ipswich, he was working with many of the young women at the time, trying

to get them off the streets. You knew three of the young womdn who

knew three of the young women who were killed? Yes, I did. How much

did drugs play a part in this? were killed? Yes, I did. How much

did drugs play a part in thhs? The did drugs play a part in this? The

32 women we worked with who we helped safely exit street

prostitution were all class a addicts, that was the driver for the

reason why people end up on the streets of the UK as prostitutes.

How did you go about clearing prostitutes of the street? It was

not easy. We work in paralldl prostitutes of the street? Ht was

not easy. We work in parallel with not easy. We work in paralldl with

the police and I went out on the streets in November and December

the police and I went out on the streets in November and Decdmber to

try to start some sort of relationship with these individuals

relationship with these indhviduals are very difficult people to form

relationships with. And over the weeks and months, we built, we

gained their trust, if you like and we got them mobile phones so that

they could keep in touch with us. Sadly, after Paula died, we started

paying women to stay off the streets. Ironically, it was probably

the most safest streets in the UK at the time. Stephen Wright was known

to the girls and bust trusted, the time. Stephen Wright was known

to the girls and bust trustdd, I to the girls and bust trusted, I

guess. Tell us what the sittation to the girls and bust trustdd, I

guess. Tell us what the situation is today. I think one of the pleasing

aspect is that the area colloquially known as the red light district in

Ipswich is a very pleasant place to live now. But we cannot rest on our

laurels, and certainly, any anecdotal evidence we or the

laurels, and certainly, any anecdotal evidence we or thd police

get, we mobilise immediately. anecdotal evidence we or the police

get, we mobilise immediatelx. I get, we mobilise immediately. I

cannot believe that we would have only -- let street prostitution

current Ipswich again. I he`rd someone on the radio saying they

thought some people were on the streets again. Do you have any

streets again. Do you have `ny evidence of that? I have no evidence

of it but I spoke to the police today and they are putting resources

in there tonight, they will go out on the streets, we are all

committed, the residents ard very committed, the residents are very

vigilant, to ensure this dods not vigilant, to ensure this does not

return to Ipswich. I think ht would return to Ipswich. I think it would

be the best legacy of all for the five women, but we do not ever

tolerate street prostitution again in the time. We heard from the vicar

that the agencies cared for the broken and that is what you did. We

broken and that is what you did We did care for the broken. I think

they are the most badly bruhsed they are the most badly bruhsed

individuals that I have ever worked with him 30 years. Thank you very

with him 30 years. Thank yot very much for being with us.

And Mick McCarthy under pressure at Ipswich.

Mick McCarthy celebrates four years in charge of Ipswich Town tomorrow

but the fans are not in the mood for salivating. The team are not winning

and the football has been described and the football has been ddscribed

as boring! -- not in the mood for celebrating.

When it comes to treating cancer, all the experts agree,

spotting the signs early will dramatically increase

Which is why the medical profession works very hard

to achieve the highest rates of early diagnosis.

And doctors and nurses in West Suffolk have just been named

as the best in the country for detecting cancer early.

That puts them first out of 208 other areas.

And not only are they saving lives, they are saving money too.

Tonight's special report is from our health reporter, Nikki Fox.

evenings to cope with that demand. For West Suffolk, being the best

early diagnosis means a greater chance of survival.

It was an unhappy weekend for our football teams

Norwich were thumped 5-0 by Brighton, while Ipswich

were booed off the pitch, following their draw with Rotherham.

Not a great anniversary present for Ipswich manager

Mick McCarthy, who celebratds four years in charge tomorrow.

Our sports editor Jonathan Park is at Portman Road.

That's right. By this time last week I was at Stadium:mk. Today another

I was at Stadium:mk. Today `nother manager under pressure is Mick

manager under pressure is Mhck McCarthy had Ipswich Town. That game

on Saturday against Rotherh`m, they on Saturday against Rotherham, they

were expected to win it, but they only got a draw and as you

mentioned, it is four years tomorrow that Mick McCarthy has been in

charge of Ipswich Town. He has certainly seen better days

here. Four years ago, Mick McCarthy here. Four years ago, Mick McCarthy

breezed into Portman Road with a club in crisis, Rock bottom of the

Championship. It is a fantastic club and a great fan base. It is a

particularly good team. Big Mick got them into the play-offs with a team

that on cost a few hundred thousand pounds. Since then, it has not been

pretty. They have huffed and puffed, Daryl Murphy was sold in the

Daryl Murphy was sold in the summer, the goals dried up and so dhd the

the goals dried up and so did the entertainment. On Saturday, they

very nearly lost a game McCarthy had labelled a must win against

Rotherham, far and away the worst side in the division. This late

strike salvaged a draw but the Blues at full-time tell you Mick has lost

the backing of some fans who feel they are not being -- being

entertained. He might be under pressure from the

fans but I understand he is not under pressure from the board. He

also says he is not going to be going anywhere. Karl, what hs

also says he is not going to be going anywhere. Karl, what is your

going anywhere. Karl, what hs your take on this? Does he deserve

longer? The fans want to be entertained. When he came into the

Cup, we needed McCarthy and he made us a stronger side. However, last

season was poor and the style of football was against what how we

like to see a plate. This sdason has like to see a plate. This season has

been even worse. He has a more talented side now than we have

been even worse. He has a more talented side now than we h`ve had

for a number of seasons and still on Saturday we were against thd bottom

Saturday we were against the bottom league team and we are still

defending with all the playdrs in defending with all the playdrs in

the box. There is no get out, get out area. Both the goals were scored

from that situation. So it is out area. Both the goals were scored

from that situation. So it hs the coaching that is not helping. You

got to the play-offs under LcCarthy got to the play-offs under LcCarthy

playing the same type of football so is it just the fact you're not

winning games or is it about the entertainment? I think a lot of fans

even in those days were moaning about the style of football but when

you are playing at home with one up front and two defensive midfielders,

it is not ideal. On Saturday it was different, it is really the

formation the fans wanted. But the team looked disjointed. We could not

defend to save our lives. Obviously, other people elsewhere, somd

shocking results, notably Norwich City losing at Brighton by 4-0. And

MK Dons, a strong link with Ryan Giggs to become the next manager.

This was the worst since Aldx Neil took charge. Lacklustre and

will be changing things. The Canaries were top two weeks ago but

have slipped to fourth after two defeats in three games. It was a

disastrous day for Norwich City, one disastrous day for Norwich City, one

of the worst defeats for a long time and perhaps lots of good will has

gone from the club because the fans were on site, clapping the manager

of the pitch when they got relegated but now, serious questions being

asked, lots of pressure on @lex Neil but Norwich are still forth so it is

not all bad. Here at MK Dons, Ryan Giggs is the latest name to be

linked to the vacant managerial position. I understand that is

unlikely although the Chairman is unlikely although the Chairman is

things will stop A year ago, a brand-new wetland

was created in will stop Essex. A year ago, a brand-new wetland

was created in Essex. A sea wall was breached and parts

of Fingeringhoe Wick were flooded. The aim was to create new

salt marshes and lagoons. And now we've been back to see how

the landscape has changed. once, this part of Fingeringhoe Wick

was green fields. Now it is Saltmarsh, home to a

growing number of birds. This time growing number of birds. This time

lapse footage from last year shows how the landscape changed. The sea

wall was lowered and then preached to allow the area to be flooded. Now

to allow the area to be flooded Now there are 22 hectares of salt marsh

and not only is the bird life changing, so if the plant lhfe. Some

changing, so if the plant life. Some are dying off, but others are new.

You got the glass work and the sea blight... This is an amazing colour,

this plan. This is the sea blight. Typical salt marsh plant and it

provides a nice area to allow the salt marsh to build up. The breach

in the wall was 300 metres wide allowing for the tide to flow in and

create a new intertidal habhtat a create a new intertidal habhtat a

crucial project, as 80% of coastal marshes in Essex have been lost.

marshes in Essex have been lost Wetlands are some of our most

damaged habitats, nearly half are now separated from the rivers,

meaning wetland habitats are highly meaning wetland habitats are highly

fragmented. That is why projects like this are so important. Due to

the sea walls, the salt marsh becomes squeezed, so the become

eroded and they get smaller and smaller. So what you have hdre is a

smaller. So what you have here is a natural transition. So you have from

the pioneer species to established species right the way through. In

the last 12 months, around 30 bird species have been seen here,

including Kingfisher, what was agricultural land. We were not seen

very much before. Largely completely devoid of birdlife. We were

confident that once you havd breached it and the salt and silt

secretes, we would start to attract more of these estuary birds. That is

the great thing about birds, they have an ability to find new habitats

and when it is fresh and new, it is really high value. There is all the

nutrients and all the insects. It is hoped over the next few years, birds

will breed in -- and numbers will continue to swell although in its

continue to swell although hn its infancy, this wetland is already

thriving. I'm sure lots of you remembdr
