:00:00. > :00:07.Hello and welcome to the start of a new week on Look East

:00:08. > :00:12.The headlines tonight, from Essex, Suffolk and

:00:13. > :00:13.Norfolk: The husband and wife from Suffolk

:00:14. > :00:25.Police say they cannot comment on whether they are treating the death

:00:26. > :00:26.as suspicious or not suspicious. The hospital patient

:00:27. > :00:30.who blocked a bed for two years is still in limbo as the authorities

:00:31. > :00:34.decide what to do with him. I am sick. They are deciding what I

:00:35. > :00:44.should eat and when I should leave. It's all square as the

:00:45. > :00:54.region's top sides drawn I am at the award winning Safran

:00:55. > :00:56.Hall where people who have dementia are performing alongside

:00:57. > :01:02.professional musicians. Detectives in Suffolk have spent

:01:03. > :01:07.the day investigating the deaths They were found dead at their home

:01:08. > :01:11.yesterday afternoon. The bodies of Richard

:01:12. > :01:14.and Sarah Pitkin were found in the home they shared

:01:15. > :01:17.in Stowupland Street. The police were called

:01:18. > :01:23.yesterday lunchtime. But so far

:01:24. > :01:26.we still don't know the details Let's get the latest

:01:27. > :01:42.from the scene now. There has been a lot of activity

:01:43. > :01:46.throughout the day. A series of flashes going off inside the house

:01:47. > :01:51.as they take a load of photographs of the scene. The police have not

:01:52. > :01:53.updated their assessment of these deaths as unexplained.

:01:54. > :01:56.A forensic team at work at the house this afternoon.

:01:57. > :01:58.The home of Richard and Sarah Pitkin, who moved

:01:59. > :02:00.to Stowmarket from London 10 years ago.

:02:01. > :02:02.65-year-old Mr Pitkin, a carpenter, converted

:02:03. > :02:07.the building, creating a

:02:08. > :02:09.tearoom that used to be run by his wife.

:02:10. > :02:12.This, the couple at the opening in 2009.

:02:13. > :02:13.Their bodies were discovered when the police

:02:14. > :02:16.The owner of the nearby pub thought he

:02:17. > :02:27.They were very nice people, Sarah especially.

:02:28. > :02:31.She was involved with the Hospice up in the

:02:32. > :02:34.Her partner was a very well-respected carpenter.

:02:35. > :02:46.For the past four years, Sarah Pitkin has worked as a

:02:47. > :02:47.assistant manager of the Hospice shop.

:02:48. > :02:49.It was closed today following her death.

:02:50. > :02:52.The charity said she was a well loved member of the team,

:02:53. > :02:55.She'd made a huge difference and would be sadly

:02:56. > :02:58.Flowers have been laid outside the house and messages

:02:59. > :03:01.The couple are believed to have four grown-up

:03:02. > :03:14.We have heard some stories about people hearing the noise of a shot

:03:15. > :03:19.gun. Had you been told any more about that? The police have been

:03:20. > :03:23.very clear on that point. They say there is nothing to indicate that a

:03:24. > :03:29.firearm was involved in this incident, as they are calling it, or

:03:30. > :03:34.a firearm was discharged in the area at all yesterday afternoon. The

:03:35. > :03:38.police have not updated that description as unexplained, these

:03:39. > :03:42.deaths. The enquiries are continuing and talking to family members and

:03:43. > :03:46.keeping them informed and trying to piece together the sequence of

:03:47. > :03:51.events that led to this. They are hoping to give us an update this

:03:52. > :03:55.evening. When we do not know. Postmortems are due to be carried

:03:56. > :04:00.out tomorrow and then we will find out because of deaths. Basically,

:04:01. > :04:04.the whole area and hope unity are very shocked by this and there is a

:04:05. > :04:09.lot of doubt hanging over what went on. -- community.

:04:10. > :04:12.There's been a disagreement today between a charity and GPs over

:04:13. > :04:14.the care provided for people with eating disorders.

:04:15. > :04:16.Beat, which is based in Norwich, claims that doctors need better

:04:17. > :04:23.training as there are more deaths from eating disorders

:04:24. > :04:28.An estimated one in ten sufferers will die.

:04:29. > :04:31.Today, GPs said they were trained to deal with such cases,

:04:32. > :04:33.but there was a shortage of specialist services.

:04:34. > :04:45.Dancing and keeping fit have always played a huge role in Julia's life.

:04:46. > :04:52.When this 22-year-old started at a specialist performing arts college,

:04:53. > :04:59.she received comments about her weight. When I was exercising, it

:05:00. > :05:03.was comments like that that got into my consciousness about what I was

:05:04. > :05:09.eating and then I started making sure I was exercising after I ate, I

:05:10. > :05:13.counted the calories. After a few months, friends took her to a doctor

:05:14. > :05:17.after she passed out during a lesson. I went to the doctor and I

:05:18. > :05:21.said I am having all these problems. I explained to the doctor and he

:05:22. > :05:26.listened to me and then the pygmy on the scale and said you're still a

:05:27. > :05:32.healthy weight. -- put me on the scale. That was it. That was another

:05:33. > :05:37.justification for my illness, the doctor says I am fine, so I should

:05:38. > :05:42.keep going as I am. Julia kept on refusing to eat until she became

:05:43. > :05:46.dangerously underweight. She was taken back to the doctors when she

:05:47. > :05:51.was referred to an eating disorder unit. The charity that raises

:05:52. > :05:56.awareness, says her story is not unique. Their research shows that

:05:57. > :06:01.three out of ten people with eating disorders do not receive a referral

:06:02. > :06:06.to the GP to a mental health service for treatment. We're not blaming or

:06:07. > :06:12.targeting the GP profession. We know we have -- they have the difficult

:06:13. > :06:17.job. When they are training to be a GP have training so that they can

:06:18. > :06:23.spot those symptoms early. That referral saved Julia's life. Now at

:06:24. > :06:28.university and studying history she is still a keen dancer, hoping her

:06:29. > :06:30.story will highlight the dangers of eating disorders and the benefits of

:06:31. > :06:32.diagnosing them early. Let's hear from Doctor Matthew

:06:33. > :06:42.Piccaver, a GP from Suffolk. How easy is it for a GP to get

:06:43. > :06:47.someone referred if they think they have a problem with eating? I think

:06:48. > :06:54.many of us find it quite a challenge to get our patients seen, especially

:06:55. > :06:58.in the early stages. You have to reach a certain rest hold of disease

:06:59. > :07:05.and it may be in the early stages people are not sick enough to get

:07:06. > :07:08.seen. -- threshold. Do you think GPs know enough to recognise an eating

:07:09. > :07:15.disorder when some deep presents with it? I think we have a broad

:07:16. > :07:20.range of skills that cover a range of areas across mental illness. I

:07:21. > :07:24.think the important things are we generate a relationship with our

:07:25. > :07:28.patients over a period of time. In the early stages it is difficult to

:07:29. > :07:32.spot but as time goes by, I think once you make that rapport with the

:07:33. > :07:37.patient and get to know them when things become more apparent. It is

:07:38. > :07:44.not always the first thing to time we meet someone we can provide a

:07:45. > :07:48.diagnosis. If someone comes two years as they are worried about

:07:49. > :07:53.their child, what can you do? Can you go to that and see, people are

:07:54. > :07:57.worried about you? It is difficult because people are adults and can

:07:58. > :08:01.make their own decisions, even if they are bad decisions. It is

:08:02. > :08:06.difficult for us to break that confidentiality. I would encourage

:08:07. > :08:10.family members to push people in the right direction and encourage them

:08:11. > :08:14.to come and see us. It is difficult sometimes for us to pounce into

:08:15. > :08:19.people's lives uninvited. We have to gently encourage them to want that

:08:20. > :08:25.help in the first place. The claim is you put somebody on skills and

:08:26. > :08:31.the colour body Max index and that is it. If they do not reach criteria

:08:32. > :08:37.then they are sent home. -- body mass index. We struggled to get

:08:38. > :08:41.people seen by services, especially in the early stage. Weather is a gap

:08:42. > :08:46.is the difference between the early stage and the warning signs and when

:08:47. > :08:51.people are seriously unwell. What I liken it to is people being only ill

:08:52. > :08:56.enough to be in intensive care or not at all. I am the gap in between.

:08:57. > :09:03.For eating disorders, it does not seem like the service is better.

:09:04. > :09:04.Thank you very much. -- service is they are.

:09:05. > :09:06.One of the longest staying bed blockers in Britain,

:09:07. > :09:09.who went on hunger strike after he was evicted

:09:10. > :09:13.who is paralysed from the chest down,

:09:14. > :09:16.Spent more than two years at the James Paget.

:09:17. > :09:19.He's protesting over what he says is a broken health and care system.

:09:20. > :09:21.The authorities say they have done everything possible to help him.

:09:22. > :09:33.Since his eviction from hospital, Adriano Guedes has refused to eat.

:09:34. > :09:41.For 24 days he survived on just fruit juice. I am sick. I am sick of

:09:42. > :09:48.them deciding when I should leave, what I should eat, how much I drink.

:09:49. > :09:53.Enough. News of the 64-year-old's eviction broke last month. This

:09:54. > :09:58.photo taken in hospital says it all. He only needed bed rest. He was

:09:59. > :10:04.moved to the temporary council factss flat. He says he has had 2000

:10:05. > :10:09.different carers in two years. He has refused to cooperate with the

:10:10. > :10:12.authorities. How can they stalemate be broken? It is this man's job to

:10:13. > :10:16.try again. He is a council housing try again. He is a council housing

:10:17. > :10:25.officer and he wants to show me what he is up against. Good morning. How

:10:26. > :10:27.are you today? Adriano Guedes is not keen to talk about

:10:28. > :10:32.accommodation. He wants is an accommodation. He wants is an

:10:33. > :10:38.electric wheelchair back. Housing is not my priority at the moment. It

:10:39. > :10:43.never was sent you to my wheelchair away from me. The wheelchair is my

:10:44. > :10:49.priority. The wheelchair is one of the reasons I am on hunger strike.

:10:50. > :10:56.How does that fit into your housing situation? I would like to find out.

:10:57. > :11:03.Without my wheelchair, I don't even want to think about housing. Adriano

:11:04. > :11:06.Guedes is venting his anger against the ruling authority. The Council

:11:07. > :11:16.officer can only help him with housing. It is my life. I control my

:11:17. > :11:20.life. Nobody else. Nobody else. It is now early February, more three

:11:21. > :11:27.weeks than his last meal. There is not much left of him. Why are you

:11:28. > :11:29.giving up's I am not giving up. I am fighting. You have not eaten now

:11:30. > :11:39.24 days. What is going to make you 24 days. What is going to make you

:11:40. > :11:42.start eating again? The wheelchair. Patrick Thompson has supported

:11:43. > :11:47.patient's rights for four decades. He is about to make a breakthrough.

:11:48. > :11:54.We now have to get you living with your dignity and you respect back to

:11:55. > :12:01.normal. Yes? We are going to do it, aren't we? Between us. If you had

:12:02. > :12:06.not persuaded him to go back to eating, how bad with this I've got?

:12:07. > :12:11.He would have ended up depressed and the fingers would have been pointed.

:12:12. > :12:22.I thought I was fighting the system and other people had their heads in

:12:23. > :12:27.the sand, but I do not know if they got the courage to do something and

:12:28. > :12:32.this has to change. All the authorities insist it is Adriano

:12:33. > :12:42.Guedes's refusal to cooperate that has prevented them from helping him.

:12:43. > :12:48.You can see the full exclusive story and the moment Adriano Guedes agrees

:12:49. > :12:51.to end his hunger strike an inside out tonight at 7:30pm.

:12:52. > :12:54.on suspicion of sending abusive messages

:12:55. > :12:58.Will Quince re-posted the comments online

:12:59. > :13:00.Saying he was 'genuinely shocked' and they were 'absolutely vile'.

:13:01. > :13:02.They referred to his son Robert who was stillborn.

:13:03. > :13:04.A man is being questioned on suspicion

:13:05. > :13:14.You're watching Look East with Susie and me.

:13:15. > :13:19.Stay with us for your full five day regional weather forecast.

:13:20. > :13:21.We've got the highlights from the weekend's

:13:22. > :13:31.And, messing about on the river in a top of the range pedalo.

:13:32. > :13:33.Anybody who cares for people with dementia

:13:34. > :13:36.will tell you music can be very important.

:13:37. > :13:40.It can unlock memories and start a conversation.

:13:41. > :13:45.A familiar song or piece of music can be a source of joy and comfort.

:13:46. > :13:48.Today, in Essex, that was demonstrated when musicians

:13:49. > :13:51.and people with dementia came together for a musical event.

:13:52. > :13:54.It was the culmination of weeks of workshops in Saffron Walden

:13:55. > :13:59.The project is called Music For Thought.

:14:00. > :14:09.It's the music is created and celebrated.

:14:10. > :14:19.Today, the venue for a unique community project where

:14:20. > :14:23.people who have dementia team up with top musicians from the Royal

:14:24. > :14:29.It is a way to bring out something positive.

:14:30. > :14:38.To take part in something meaningful.

:14:39. > :14:41.Really Music For Thought is a creative music project

:14:42. > :14:44.as we all come together as

:14:45. > :14:48.We compose, we create and we perform music.

:14:49. > :14:56.Dementia can be isolating and despairing

:14:57. > :14:57.for people affected by the condition.

:14:58. > :15:00.Music helps unlock memories whilst also being a source

:15:01. > :15:04.I think that for people with dementia having

:15:05. > :15:07.the opportunity to experience live music and make life music allows

:15:08. > :15:15.people to access emotional states and express themselves creatively,

:15:16. > :15:17.regardless of all the other circumstances in their life.

:15:18. > :15:20.For the last six weeks, Brian and his wife Kay have been

:15:21. > :15:23.It has been a rewarding experience for the

:15:24. > :15:26.couple, especially for Brian who has lived with dementia for the last

:15:27. > :15:36.Watching the enthusiasm that young people bring into the meeting.

:15:37. > :15:46.Their personalities and the way they shine

:15:47. > :15:52.Projects like this are vital because in the

:15:53. > :15:54.future more of us will have dementia year.

:15:55. > :15:57.In Essex, it is predicted to increase over ten years by one third

:15:58. > :16:06.People caring really appreciate the opportunity to take

:16:07. > :16:09.the person they are caring for someone to make somewhere

:16:10. > :16:17.With precious few resources out there, people can

:16:18. > :16:32.We really support and hope there can be many more as well.

:16:33. > :16:34.Saffron Hall Trust plan to roll out this project

:16:35. > :16:38.people can benefit from having music in their lives.

:16:39. > :16:40.If you ever spend any time on the broads in

:16:41. > :16:44.You will know the water used to be very clear.

:16:45. > :16:47.especially at Hoveton Great Broad near Norwich.

:16:48. > :16:50.Which is why millions of pounds will be spent over the next

:16:51. > :17:00.couple of years to improve the water quality.

:17:01. > :17:03.And make it, as they say up there, as clear as gin.

:17:04. > :17:05.Unusually, the Broad has excluded boats

:17:06. > :17:08.That has given it an added feel of tranquility,

:17:09. > :17:12.For decades, Hoveton Great Broad had pollution coming into it from farms

:17:13. > :17:16.That led to a toxic algal blooms and the silting up of the broad.

:17:17. > :17:19.Local farmers and Anglian Water have worked to improve the

:17:20. > :17:22.quality of the water in the River Bure,

:17:23. > :17:30.It has got to state now where it is so good that

:17:31. > :17:34.restoration work can begin on the broad and the water quality

:17:35. > :17:37.will get better and better, the fish will come

:17:38. > :17:40.back, the plants will come back and biodiversity will improve.

:17:41. > :17:42.The silt and sludge is now being dredged up

:17:43. > :17:44.from the floor of the broad and being transferred to

:17:45. > :17:49.These will build up new banks, creating better wildlife habitats.

:17:50. > :17:53.What's coming out now is decades of dead algae.

:17:54. > :18:01.The time is right now to do it because the water

:18:02. > :18:05.quality improvements that have taken place.

:18:06. > :18:12.We can give it a kick and make it work and

:18:13. > :18:15.get it back to what made the Broads famous originally,

:18:16. > :18:19.Some boat owners have complained the Broad

:18:20. > :18:22.Natural England say they want to preserve

:18:23. > :18:25.the natural tranquillity of this special place and a longer nuture

:18:26. > :18:30.trail will be open to walkers seven days a week, away

:18:31. > :18:41.It is one of the very few places in the Broads were you can walk

:18:42. > :18:44.Otherwise, it is very difficult to get through.

:18:45. > :18:46.Boats have not been allowed on this Broad for

:18:47. > :18:49.more than a century and we will maintain that.

:18:50. > :18:51.The reason being is that this offer something different.

:18:52. > :18:53.We want to maintain the tranquillity we offer.

:18:54. > :18:57.People really enjoy the ability to stop on the edge of the river, go

:18:58. > :18:59.off into our wet woodland and really enjoy peace and tranquillity.

:19:00. > :19:13.This unique place opens up seven days a week from April and does

:19:14. > :19:17.-- is hoped the gin clear waters of the broad will return by 2020.

:19:18. > :19:19.In the football this weekend the East Anglian derby:

:19:20. > :19:22.Fans of Ipswich Town went home happier than Norwich fans

:19:23. > :19:24.because Norwich desperately need the points to get

:19:25. > :19:28.But the Norwich boss hasn't given up on a top six finish.

:19:29. > :19:32.Ipswich 15th after another dramatic derby day.

:19:33. > :19:39.Derby day - always tense, always emotional.

:19:40. > :19:50.Tensions at times running even higher. Ipswich desperate to stop

:19:51. > :20:02.them and get a win over their rivals in eight years.

:20:03. > :20:10.Pound took the lead with only on target. Celebrations did not last

:20:11. > :20:19.long as Jacob Murphy soon cancelled it out. Despite Ipswich lead, they

:20:20. > :20:23.will be happy with a point as Norwich carry greater threat. It

:20:24. > :20:32.leaves them six points of the play-offs and 12 to play. It is a

:20:33. > :20:35.game we had to win. There has to be something miraculous from now if we

:20:36. > :20:41.are going to go up. We have not won it for years now. We will take the

:20:42. > :20:47.we could not hang on. It was a good we could not hang on. It was a good

:20:48. > :20:55.derby. I enjoyed it. You said you would be happy with a point. You got

:20:56. > :21:01.a point but are you happy? Yes. I think we have to be resolute and

:21:02. > :21:10.organised and hard-working. I have not seen it, the penalty. It doesn't

:21:11. > :21:19.upset me greatly, to be honest. The fans are frustrated. They feel flat

:21:20. > :21:26.because... There are still positive noises coming from you. There are

:21:27. > :21:31.still six points. I think we have four of the top six till to play. It

:21:32. > :21:36.does in our hands. How much do you think it dents Norwich's play-off

:21:37. > :21:40.hopes? It is quite clear the gap is six points to Sheffield Wednesday

:21:41. > :21:46.and they go to Sheffield Wednesday this weekend. It is win or bust,

:21:47. > :21:51.really. He is not too frustrated with the point? It is another solid

:21:52. > :21:59.point. You go back three or four weeks ago and we were feeling the

:22:00. > :22:03.worst. For Norwich fans, the think another challenge season is ahead.

:22:04. > :22:09.Consolation for some but for others, the season is not over just yet.

:22:10. > :22:12.As a region, we're spoilt for choice when it comes

:22:13. > :22:15.You can cruise the canals, go sailing on the broads.

:22:16. > :22:19.Now, there's another option - a pedal boat.

:22:20. > :22:21.It's the brainchild of an engineer from Norfolk.

:22:22. > :22:22.Think seaside pedalo, but with knobs on.

:22:23. > :22:40.Is it a boat? Is it a bike's no, this is a pedal boat. We have a

:22:41. > :22:48.lovely day for it. Glorious, isn't it? The weather is lousy and if this

:22:49. > :22:54.is Hollyrood, we would wait. This is look east, so we get wet. Sit on the

:22:55. > :22:59.seat. You will be able to adjust it forward and backwards or stop we go

:23:00. > :23:04.backwards and one of the unique things about this boat is if you

:23:05. > :23:10.pedal backwards, you go backwards. You have brakes on the water.

:23:11. > :23:15.Nothing new about pedal boats exactly, but comfort and quality can

:23:16. > :23:20.sometimes be an issue. No such problems for Stephen. He has a

:23:21. > :23:24.background in motor engineering, unsurprisingly, the boat has a

:23:25. > :23:29.clever design. When you are facing me and we are both peddling

:23:30. > :23:33.forwards, when the chains get to the bottom, the fourth going in

:23:34. > :23:41.different directions. The Cure box has to cope with that and drive a

:23:42. > :23:49.single shelf to a propeller. The company here is called dad's boat.

:23:50. > :23:54.The dad in question is Stephen's father-in-law, David. He came up

:23:55. > :24:01.with the original design more than 50 years ago. My hobby was making

:24:02. > :24:07.toy sailing boats and I experimented with various things. It wasn't very

:24:08. > :24:11.scientific but it worked. We have clocked about six miles per hour on

:24:12. > :24:17.our GPS. You can do that for about our GPS. You can do that for about

:24:18. > :24:22.30 metres and you are exhausted, so there is not much point. Take it

:24:23. > :24:34.gently and you can go for hours. The pedal boat costs a cool ?10,000. Not

:24:35. > :24:36.cheap. What a lovely thing. I do not think I have ever seen Michael

:24:37. > :24:44.look so uncomfortable. Let's get the weather now. A fairly cool and

:24:45. > :24:50.showery start to the week. Turning left cold as we head into March.

:24:51. > :24:55.Here is our jet stream. A lot of cold air in that. The perfect recipe

:24:56. > :24:59.of sunshine and showers. As we go through the rest of the week, it

:25:00. > :25:05.becomes more westerly of the Atlantic and much more mobile.

:25:06. > :25:09.Occasional outbreaks of rain. Here is the radar picture for today. The

:25:10. > :25:13.bands of shower working northwards and eastwards. A lot of clouds and

:25:14. > :25:18.in between brightness and sunshine. Some of these showers have been

:25:19. > :25:24.quite heavy and he'll mixed in as well. Some of the scenes from our

:25:25. > :25:28.Weather Watchers, reminiscent of April showers and downpours in

:25:29. > :25:33.places. We continue with the trend this evening and tonight. A mixture

:25:34. > :25:35.of clear spells and showers. Some could be quite heavy and sleet mixed

:25:36. > :25:43.in and heal as well. A chilly zero in and heal as well. A chilly zero

:25:44. > :25:49.or one Celsius. Ice perhaps an untreated surfaces. The wind easing

:25:50. > :25:54.down a touch. Wind around on Tuesday and a lot of dry weather tomorrow.

:25:55. > :25:57.Less showers compared with Monday. Sunshine as well. The cloud

:25:58. > :26:03.thickening and more organised in terms of showery rain from the west.

:26:04. > :26:10.Seven or eight Celsius. It will feel quite chilly tomorrow with the wind.

:26:11. > :26:13.Hopefully more sunshine than on Monday. Wednesday, settling down

:26:14. > :26:18.temporarily but we will see this weather front washing up from the

:26:19. > :26:21.south west. A lot of dry weather and some hazy sunshine around for much

:26:22. > :26:27.of the day. Cloud increasing from the north and rain feeding into

:26:28. > :26:31.southern parts of the region late on in the afternoon. Temperatures up to

:26:32. > :26:34.nine Celsius. Here is that front bringing rain on Wednesday evening

:26:35. > :26:39.and pushing north. Its style somewhere to the north of the

:26:40. > :26:45.region. Uncertainty about how quickly the rain clears. A lot of

:26:46. > :26:52.dry weather and spells of sunshine. The wind picking up. A blustery day.

:26:53. > :26:56.Ten or 11 Celsius. As we head towards Friday and the weekend, low

:26:57. > :27:02.pressure in charge. The areas rain. At this stage, levels of uncertainty

:27:03. > :27:06.about how quickly those bands of rain will work their way in. Wetter

:27:07. > :27:11.for the end of the week. Friday looking wet at times and quite

:27:12. > :27:16.windy. Temperatures lower at eight or nine or 10 Celsius. That is the

:27:17. > :27:22.story into the weekend, changeable, wet at times and dry spells. Take a

:27:23. > :27:24.look at the windy weather as well. That is it. We will see you tomorrow

:27:25. > :27:55.night. Goodbye. To be in the Lords,

:27:56. > :27:58.you have to be punctual...
