:00:00. > :00:07.In the programme tonight: An exclusive television interview
:00:08. > :00:10.with Newmarket jockey Freddy Tylicki.
:00:11. > :00:13.He was paralysed from the waist down in a fall, but says he'll be back
:00:14. > :00:28.Obviously it won't be a racehorse, it will be something slower. But
:00:29. > :00:32.life goes on and you got to make the most of it. Roll on next Wednesday.
:00:33. > :00:34.Why the Police and Crime Commissioner for Essex
:00:35. > :00:37.is bidding to head up the fire and rescue service too.
:00:38. > :00:39.The project to recreate the Great Fen - using more
:00:40. > :00:58.And later we meet Britain's strongest woman.
:00:59. > :01:00.In his first television interview since a terrible fall left him
:01:01. > :01:04.paralysed from the waist down, the Newmarket jockey Freddy Tylicki
:01:05. > :01:09.has told Look East he will be getting back on a horse and soon.
:01:10. > :01:13.It was during a race at Kempton in October that Freddy was involved
:01:14. > :01:20.He was very badly injured and is still being treated
:01:21. > :01:24.Today he told our reporter Tom Williams that riding horses
:01:25. > :01:27.is "like a drug" and getting back on one will help him
:01:28. > :01:47.I remember everything. Unfortunately that is racing. You know, it's a
:01:48. > :01:54.very risky job. You know that. You don't think about it and you are
:01:55. > :01:58.going to get falls, that's for sure and when you do fall, it is how bad
:01:59. > :02:05.it is afterwards and I got away with it a few times and unfortunately I
:02:06. > :02:10.didn't get away with it this time. Life has changed, it's very
:02:11. > :02:18.different now. How are you learning with -- coping? Good days and bad
:02:19. > :02:23.days. A lot of downs at the moment, but you got to fight through them
:02:24. > :02:28.somehow, there is only two macro ways you can go in this situation
:02:29. > :02:32.and I decided to go forward. Life goes on. Freddie had been an
:02:33. > :02:38.emerging force in the saddle. A former champion apprenticed, last
:02:39. > :02:44.year his best season yet. At 30 years old he was tipped for the top
:02:45. > :02:50.before tragedy struck, falling in a four horse pile-up in October. I
:02:51. > :02:55.sustained 18 broken ribs. Worst still a paralysis, meaning he has no
:02:56. > :03:03.movement in the lower half of his body. Being here, you see people
:03:04. > :03:09.with all sorts of injuries and to be honest a couple of lads watched the
:03:10. > :03:15.race again and they said to me that I was very lucky to be here.
:03:16. > :03:22.Apparently it was a horrible fall, I have not seen it. There is no point
:03:23. > :03:29.in looking at it again. I've got to say in some ways I am lucky to be
:03:30. > :03:34.here. You seem incredibly positive. Where do you find that strength?
:03:35. > :03:40.There are a lot of friends, the racing community has been tremendous
:03:41. > :03:49.to me and a lot of the lads dropped in on the way back and it took me
:03:50. > :03:55.for something to eat. Stuff like that cheers me up. After weeks in
:03:56. > :03:59.intensive care, Freddie's rehabilitation continues here.
:04:00. > :04:04.Experts at the London spinal-cord unit keep him busy. Specialist
:04:05. > :04:09.equipment keeps his muscles moving. I would never regret being a jockey,
:04:10. > :04:16.I love my job, I live for the industry, my job. I started riding
:04:17. > :04:22.racehorses when I was 11 or 12 years of age and it is like a drug, once
:04:23. > :04:27.you start you cannot stop. Do you think there might be a chance you
:04:28. > :04:34.could ride again? Most definitely, I have a riding lesson next Wednesday.
:04:35. > :04:40.So you are getting straight back on a horse? Absolutely. It will not be
:04:41. > :04:44.a racehorse, something slower, but life goes on and you have to make
:04:45. > :04:46.the most of it. Roll on next Wednesday.
:04:47. > :04:49.Jockey Freddy Tylicki talking to our reporter Tom Williams.
:04:50. > :04:52.Essex could be the first place in the country to bring
:04:53. > :04:54.the Fire Service under the control of the Police and
:04:55. > :04:58.Roger Hirst wants to control budgets and strategy for both,
:04:59. > :05:01.but critics say he would have too much power and be
:05:02. > :05:19.It is a five-year logo that within eight months could be out of date if
:05:20. > :05:22.Roger Hirst has his way. Essex's police and crime commission thinks
:05:23. > :05:29.close collaboration between the police and Fire Service will be more
:05:30. > :05:33.efficient and save money. Today his office launched a 12 week public
:05:34. > :05:39.consultation on the proposal. The three options, the one he favours is
:05:40. > :05:43.the so-called governance model. If we can align the services and look
:05:44. > :05:50.at doing things like workshops together, IT better together, we use
:05:51. > :05:57.the assets best, if you look at all of that, we reckon the work we have
:05:58. > :06:04.done says that there should be saving something between 50 million
:06:05. > :06:09.pounds. It does not mean a police officer tackling a firebug the two
:06:10. > :06:15.services would be more joined up. These representatives would not
:06:16. > :06:20.exist any more. It was an idea first mooted by Roger's predecessor. A
:06:21. > :06:30.year ago they warmed to the idea. It will provide an improving service
:06:31. > :06:34.across Essex. Unions are more cautious. A closer alliance with the
:06:35. > :06:39.police they say could erode long-standing public trust. Others
:06:40. > :06:43.are more outspoken. It is the governments that concerns us. That
:06:44. > :06:49.is the issue. By putting all the power in one person's hands to set
:06:50. > :06:54.the budgets of the police and Fire Services, that removes direct
:06:55. > :06:58.accountability to the public. Norfolk's PCC says the police are
:06:59. > :07:07.looking at further collaboration with the Fire Service. In Essex,
:07:08. > :07:12.people will have until May to have their say on whether they want and
:07:13. > :07:13.even closer marriage between the police and Fire Service.
:07:14. > :07:14.The Independent Police Complaints Commission
:07:15. > :07:17.is investigating after a man, who was arrested at a holiday
:07:18. > :07:20.Paul Gladwell, from Colchester, was 38.
:07:21. > :07:23.He became seriously ill in police custody after an incident
:07:24. > :07:34.Today, his family paid tribute to a man "forever in their hearts".
:07:35. > :07:41.This is the Pontin 's holiday Park. It was here that Paul Gladwell came
:07:42. > :07:47.with his partner and their three jewel drip for a short break. Inside
:07:48. > :07:51.the ballroom at the complex, a change of events began which would
:07:52. > :07:56.end in tragedy. Suffolk police have appealed for witnesses. They are
:07:57. > :08:01.on-site at the moment having put up signs urging people to come forward
:08:02. > :08:06.as they try to the facts of a violent incident. It was about
:08:07. > :08:10.11:40pm on Valentine 's night when Paul Gladwell was detained by
:08:11. > :08:15.security staff. His family say there had been a dispute involving one of
:08:16. > :08:21.their children, during which Paul was head-butted by another man then
:08:22. > :08:24.pinned to the floor. Police officers arrived five minutes later. Mr
:08:25. > :08:30.Gladwell was arrested on suspicion of assault. While he was taken to
:08:31. > :08:34.the police, officers became worried about his condition. They stopped
:08:35. > :08:38.and called an ambulance. Paramedics treated him when they arrived and he
:08:39. > :08:43.was taken to the hospital in Corston. It was there that he died
:08:44. > :08:48.this morning. Mr Gladwell's family have questioned the way he was
:08:49. > :08:55.restrained. The eye PCC is now handling the case and says it is
:08:56. > :09:07.gathering CC TV footage. It added in a statement:
:09:08. > :09:15.A page has been set up online to raise money for Mr Gladwell's
:09:16. > :09:22.partner and children and social media is awash with tributes. One
:09:23. > :09:28.said, could not thank you all enough for your kind words and kind wishes.
:09:29. > :09:30.Managers at Pontin 's have made no comment about what happened on site
:09:31. > :09:32.or the investigation. The cull of 23,000 chickens
:09:33. > :09:35.affected by an outbreak of bird flu in Suffolk has
:09:36. > :09:37.continued /finished today. The outbreak is the first
:09:38. > :09:39.case of birdflu in this The chickens are at a poultry farm
:09:40. > :09:45.at Redgrave near Diss. The East of England Ambulance
:09:46. > :09:49.Service has been issued with two official warnings for failing
:09:50. > :09:51.to ensure its "patterns The notices were imposed
:09:52. > :09:56.by the Health and Safety Executive. They relate to staff working more
:09:57. > :10:01.than 48 hours a week. The Justice Secretary
:10:02. > :10:03.and South West Norfolk MP Elizabeth Truss says she's keen
:10:04. > :10:05.to stop children who've been Ms Truss has been visiting
:10:06. > :10:10.Nelson's Journey, a Norfolk-based charity which supports children
:10:11. > :10:27.who've lost someone Aaron and Keenan are 16. Both have
:10:28. > :10:34.lost loved ones. Both have been supported by Nelson's journey.
:10:35. > :10:39.Aaron's sister died three years ago of cystic fibrosis. Because I didn't
:10:40. > :10:43.want to speak about it, it would build up inside. Here is a safe
:10:44. > :10:51.space I can talk about what is going on at home. It is all confidential.
:10:52. > :10:56.Keenan's father died of cancer five years ago. It was quite a mess
:10:57. > :11:03.because I did not know what I thought. I was quite sad at times
:11:04. > :11:07.but also angry. Some people can channel that anger into media
:11:08. > :11:15.committing crimes, senses? Absolutely. It can be such a... A
:11:16. > :11:21.lot of people could go down that path. They might feel that is a way
:11:22. > :11:25.to let out that anger. The Justice Secretary is keen for children to
:11:26. > :11:30.get the right support for the grief so they do not channel their anger
:11:31. > :11:35.into crimes. A lot of our young people have suffered bereavement. I
:11:36. > :11:39.have seen that first-hand. We are seeing fewer young offenders coming
:11:40. > :11:44.into our system, which is good, but the more we can do to how people
:11:45. > :11:52.deal with those problems, those mental health problems that might
:11:53. > :11:56.emerge, the better. Nelson's journey has seen an increase in the number
:11:57. > :12:00.of children who have been bereaved. Persistent offenders in particular
:12:01. > :12:04.are more likely to have experienced bereavement or a series of movements
:12:05. > :12:12.compared to the general population. We know those very traumatic
:12:13. > :12:17.circumstances can lead to offending behaviour. Losing a loved one has
:12:18. > :12:18.changed these children's lives for ever but they are learning to focus
:12:19. > :12:21.on their memories not their loss. A dairy in Essex, which closed

:14:32. > :14:37.powerful you have to be to be A team of injured soldiers
:14:38. > :14:51.is in training to compete against able-bodied drivers
:14:52. > :14:55.in the Le Mans 24-hour race. The legendary endurance race
:14:56. > :14:58.attracts fans from across the world. Warren McKinlay
:14:59. > :15:01.is part of Team Brit. He was a mechanic based at RAF
:15:02. > :15:05.Honington in Suffolk when he was badly injured
:15:06. > :15:08.in a motorbike accident. Now he's in training with four
:15:09. > :15:10.other former servicemen and they've even put
:15:11. > :15:26.together their own My name is Warren McKinlay, I am 35
:15:27. > :15:37.years old. I was in the Royal Electrical engineers and I suffered
:15:38. > :15:43.a brain injury. The team Brit car down the inside. Nicely done. Team
:15:44. > :16:04.Brit stands for British racing injured troops.
:16:05. > :16:07.We spoke to Warren McKinlay and his wife Sarah, and asked
:16:08. > :16:09.what it meant to Warren to be part of this team
:16:10. > :16:22.First of all, it's a fantastic opportunity I have been offered to
:16:23. > :16:30.be part of this journey. It is a mammoth task. But the distance we
:16:31. > :16:39.have travelled six months ago, I now can see is a fully achievable goal.
:16:40. > :16:45.Sarah, how nervous are you that he is going to be going round a track
:16:46. > :16:49.at high speeds? I am nervous about it especially after his accident,
:16:50. > :16:54.but I am fully behind him and looking forward to going to the
:16:55. > :16:59.races and watching him. Warren, it is an extraordinary journey you have
:17:00. > :17:05.been on since your accident 11 years ago, because for a time you felt
:17:06. > :17:13.like you were not alive. Yes. As strange as it sounds for either need
:17:14. > :17:19.to say it now, at my time in Headley Court and for about 18 months, I did
:17:20. > :17:27.believe that I had died in the accident and everything that
:17:28. > :17:31.happened to me was some kind of afterlife. We know about his
:17:32. > :17:38.problems, but you have had to live with those, how has that been for
:17:39. > :17:42.you? It has been really hard. The children have gone through the
:17:43. > :17:47.journey with us as well, but we have all stuck together and worked at it.
:17:48. > :17:51.This is the next step in his recovery with his racing. Sarah,
:17:52. > :17:57.have you noticed the change in Warren since he has got involved in
:17:58. > :18:02.motorsport? Has it been obvious to you the impact it has had? It has,
:18:03. > :18:10.it has given him his strive back again and given him his motivation,
:18:11. > :18:14.going out and having a day on a track. He is buzzing from it. One of
:18:15. > :18:20.the problems you have had is you have had trouble concentrating and
:18:21. > :18:26.focusing and yet the one thing you have to do in a car is concentrate
:18:27. > :18:32.and focus, so how do you adapt? Since my accident, one way I dumped
:18:33. > :18:37.with these is to take myself away from the situation, one of the
:18:38. > :18:44.things that helped me was driving. I would drive and be on my own, it was
:18:45. > :18:49.one skill I never lost. When I put the race helmet on and get into the
:18:50. > :18:56.racing car, I really do wish I could work out how I can focus so much on
:18:57. > :19:03.one single task and feed it into other aspects of my life. We wish
:19:04. > :19:05.you all the very best of luck in the run-up to Le Mans and good luck to
:19:06. > :19:08.you, Sarah, watching. She's 34, married
:19:09. > :19:12.and a mother of two. She's also Britain's
:19:13. > :19:16.strongest woman. That's remarkable enough,
:19:17. > :19:18.but it gets better. She has only been training for two
:19:19. > :19:22.years and now she's about to go to America to take part
:19:23. > :19:38.in the competition to become Breakfast time in the Thompson
:19:39. > :19:44.household. Close to competition time, Andrea needs about 3500
:19:45. > :19:49.calories a day so while the children are having cereal, Andrea Downes a
:19:50. > :19:54.fruit and vegetable smoothly plus a mushroom and spinach omelette.
:19:55. > :20:00.Without it you would not lift anything? No, I get tired, I cannot
:20:01. > :20:06.perform in the gym, I get frustrated and end up having a bad day. I was
:20:07. > :20:11.hoping the spinach might give me muscles like Popeye but it is hard
:20:12. > :20:16.to compete with biceps like this. Andrea has only been in the sport
:20:17. > :20:22.for two years, she wanted to get fit for her sister's wedding, went to
:20:23. > :20:30.the gym and soon got the bug for weightlifting. Andrea trains four or
:20:31. > :20:35.five times a week. How good is she? Very good. The day she came in it
:20:36. > :20:38.was obvious she had great potential and over the years we have developed
:20:39. > :20:47.that and she is starting to realise that now. Andrea builds up her
:20:48. > :20:54.sessions smoothly. Here squat lifting 180 kilos or just over 28
:20:55. > :21:03.stone. It is tough and as Britain's strongest woman, Andrea is up to the
:21:04. > :21:08.task. Come on! Andrea is competing at the Arnold sports festival in
:21:09. > :21:15.America next month where she will compete against the world's's best.
:21:16. > :21:21.I am hoping to do better than I did last. I came last year. I would love
:21:22. > :21:28.to win but my next step is just to do better than I did. Frankly I was
:21:29. > :21:40.get it -- script getting a sweat on just watching. 250 kilos, 39 stone
:21:41. > :21:46.and it looked like my idea of hell. I do care at times how hard she gets
:21:47. > :21:55.pushed. She needs to push if she needs to reach the top. You have to
:21:56. > :22:01.admire Andrea's strength and determination. She has, a long way
:22:02. > :22:04.in a short time and who is to say Britain's strongest woman cannot one
:22:05. > :22:15.day be the world's's strongest woman. The trainer has the easier
:22:16. > :22:21.job! She is amazing! That looks painful! If you have tried to build
:22:22. > :22:27.a model out of Lego you know how fiddly it can be. I spent a whole
:22:28. > :22:33.Christmas doing a dolphin cruiser once for my daughter. Imagine trying
:22:34. > :22:39.to do it with more than a million pieces. That is the challenge the
:22:40. > :22:42.Great Fen project has taken on. It is a model of the Cambridgeshire
:22:43. > :22:46.wetland and this half term they need your help.
:22:47. > :22:55.They came to see and help make a miniature, magical world. A mini
:22:56. > :23:01.Great Fen. It is wetland and wildlife. More than a million
:23:02. > :23:05.building bricks. It is half term so plenty of helping hands. I made a
:23:06. > :23:16.duck and it came from a video that I watch. I made a barn owl on a bench,
:23:17. > :23:21.because I find owls are interesting because they are awake at night and
:23:22. > :23:26.sleep in the day. It's amazing to see how many things you can make and
:23:27. > :23:34.some things are so small and others are very big and lifelike. The bird
:23:35. > :23:40.hide and its watchers you can find that on the Fens. Its historic
:23:41. > :23:46.buildings you can find that also. The great fen Project restoring the
:23:47. > :23:51.Cambridge farmland to wetland. How it was before being drained more
:23:52. > :23:55.than 400 years ago. This is their swallowtail butterfly. You can still
:23:56. > :24:01.find them on the Norfolk Broads but they have been extinct on the Fens
:24:02. > :24:09.for 100 years. They are hoping the real thing will return. This is a
:24:10. > :24:14.fun way to teach you about the great fan. We have spent years and years
:24:15. > :24:20.building the great fen which is a new nature reserve. It often takes a
:24:21. > :24:26.long time to do things in reality on the ground, but with Lego we can
:24:27. > :24:31.build it in a day. They will build it until Saturday. Sunday it all
:24:32. > :24:35.comes down. Hundreds of thousands of bricks taken apart. Not just broken
:24:36. > :24:50.up but sorted into colours, piece by piece.
:24:51. > :25:01.Now the weather. Lovely day today. It has turned a bit cloudy with some
:25:02. > :25:06.rain around but look at the earlier photographs from weather watchers.
