they've left, and they would always be willing

of incidents we have on our roads.

The eye-catching car will now be appearing at public events across

Well, that car made a do a law to prevent future incidents but there

is a real deep feeling of loss here. Teachers have become too risk-averse

because of a compensation culture, according to the Campaign

for Real Education. It says children's education

is being affected. It comes as a BBC investigation

found that ?2.6 million was paid out to pupils hurt

at schools in Essex Search online for "schools

compensation injury" with a perceived

compensation culture. No win, no fee lawyers touting for

business. Two years ago, almost ?2 million

was secured for ten-year-old She almost drowned in 2000

during a swimming lesson Now an adult, Annie's brain injury

has left her with memory Essex County Council paid

two thirds of the bill. Which is why at ?2.4 million, Essex

tops the local table for schools compensation pay-out

over three years. Norfolk county council

paid out ?213,000. Unions say lack of money in school

buildings and experienced teachers means more

accidents could happen. The more experienced you are,

the better you are an sporting If you got an inexperienced

workforce, a workforce that is tired and

overworked, that might lead to the In Norfolk, one pupil

received ?11,500 More than ?15,000 was paid

after another was injured by a The county council has seen

a drop in compensation It said it works closely

with schools to assess risks and This personal injury

lawyer said he turned down one in three people seeking

compensation but said those who succeed are legitimate and could

help prevent further accidents. We do get people coming to us simply

because they believe any injury As I said, you need

to prove negligence. If we can't prove

negligence, there is no claim, no matter how

seriously injured someone is. Schools that have never

been safer but some culture of litigation means many

have now become too risk averse. Chris McGovern is chairman

of the Campaign for Real Education, a pressure group which aims to raise

standards in schools. He told me why he was so worried

about the compensation pay-outs. I share the concern of a lot

of parents and we think that money should be going on education,

not compensation claims. About 90% of teachers,

according to one major survey in recent years, said

that the compensation culture was affecting what they did

in the classroom and the playground. You say parents are

worried about it, don't It is often them making the claims

and are we, as parents, too Well, it is a cotton wool

culture and it's not all parents making a claim, only a few

parents, but it is enough. I think what parents

will be concerned about is the fact that, rather

than having resources for their school,

the money's going out on

compensation claims. Some of which are serious,

some frivolous. One, which I came across quite

recently, was a boy who brought his skateboard

into the playground. He fell off his own skateboard

and then sued the school, the parents sued

the school for ?8,000. Obviously, there is a huge range

in the kind of claims we are Some people would say

that this is actually a step forward, progress,

because it is making It is not making schools safer,

what it is doing is depriving They are not getting

out on so many day trips, they can't do certain

science experiments, new playground and rather

more, they are going on to these laptops

Surely insurance companies are involved.

Insurance companies are involved, and you're right.

To some extent, teachers themselves also make claims

and they're encouraged to make claims by their

can't do certain things, that will place constraints on the curriculum.

We do have more of a compensation culture these days, as you

Can the Government do anything to legislate?

I think the Government can give guidelines to courts so

that courts are much less generous in what they award

if the complaint is considered to be vexatious or trivial.

I also think, really important that councils contest the

claim is because, at the moment, many councils are not bothering to

go to court, they are just handing over money.

That is cheaper because they don't have to employ lawyers.

It is disgraceful that lawyers are encouraging parents to

make frivolous claims because they want to make money.

The police in Norfolk have described the drowning of a puppy

during a burglary as a "particularly cruel crime".

A family from Gorleston came in to find their home ransacked

and had to kick down the bathroom door

where they found seven month old Benji

Seven-month-old Benji was like any other much loved pet. To his owner,

Mark, he was more than just a puppy, New Zealanders member of the family.

-- he was the youngest. Burglars broke into his home, stole his

laptop among other items and then drowned Benji in a back upstairs.

Today, there was a visit for the family from the investigations

department. We went upstairs, went upstairs, found my little mate in

the back, they told me not to get up there. I went up and all I thought

was him lying in a bag full of water, and I just came out, sat on

the stairs and cried. We want these people caught because they could do

it again to another adult, puppy or worse, next time, a human being. We

just want in court. What would your message be to anyone who may have

done this? You could have just trashed the house and left him, or

even taken him, but dealing in is just wrong. In a statement,

Detective Sergeant Richard Wallace described it as a particularly cruel

crime and said anyone who may have witnessed this scissors behaviour

between 3:50pm and 5:30pm should contact the police. -- any

suspicious behaviour. we will have been voting

in the county council elections. 234 seats are up for election

in Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex. Labour said it wanted

to highlight Children's Services If people work together and said we

cannot do this without this money, something must be done, then I think

something would be done, but the governments will not do it unless a

gun is true to their head. -- the Government will not do it

100 teams from 25 The world's biggest indoor sky

diving competition takes place in the village

of Milton Ernest this weekend. Basically it's all about being

suspended in a huge wind tunnel. Apparently it's like jumping out

of a plane at 40,000 feet and looks a bit like synchronised

swimming in mid air Our sports editor Jonathan Park went

along to a training session. It is midnight, what a great time to

be here. We need the time, we need to fly whenever we can fly.

First-come, first-served. This is the kind regards, so this is the

tiny fly. -- this is the time we've got so

this is the time we fly. It is easy to be blown away by these two, Josh

O'Donoghue and Luke Warren are team-mates in the top seat on the

role of skydiving. It is about people flying in a tube. Making

certain patterns with each other. As far as you possibly can within a

time limit. The noise in this place is incredible but, then again, these

guys are flying at over 200 mph and pulling off some quite incredible

moves, all against a clock. When you get in at first, it is a really

weird feeling. When you get used to it, it becomes more familiar so,

just to the human eye, it does not difficult but it is one of the most

weird sensations you ever feel. That is right, Luke, it is like jumping

out of a jumbo jet at 40,000 feet. He was what it looks like an full

swing. This is the July dynamic event at the Winter games in Spain,

the latter major competition. Flying insect patterns and gaining points

big competition in Spain with millions of viewers. We want this

now, we want people to recognise the sport, recognise what it is, what we

do and we want everyone to comment a go. You can be as young as young as

five years old to die in head first and Josh recently took a 92-year-old

practice? It takes years to get this cute and very impressive when it is

unwell. -- to get this good we have those said we want to do this. It

does look amazing, doesn't it? Takes quite a bit of practice.

The man Norwich City are pinning their hopes

on for the future has been speaking for the first time

about why he left Huddersfield and why he chose Norwich.

Stuart Webber was appointed as the new sporting

director yesterday and has already started work.

His mission - to get the Canaries back to the Premiership

A new face, a new name, a completely new way of doing things. This is

Stuart Webber, 33 years old and a man with a reputation for getting

things on. Having revitalised Huddersfield town, the Norwich City

board that they can do the same for them. I want to -- I don't want to

get out of bed every morning to come to a club who want to be any

championship, I'm aiming for the Premier League. If people don't want

to do that, happy drive to do that, as far as I'm concerned, they are

not a part of how I see it. I'm not frightened of making changes, I did

at my previous club and people want to have become uncool -- have to

want to come on board. But what is a sporting director? Factors in the

whole football they read of medical, sporting signs, recruitment, all the

areas and giving Kerridge the jams to coach the team, the only pet and

to not have to worry that clubs poaching players. -- the coach the

chance to be. We want to give them the chance to make the players

better, we sometimes lose in our country a bit, carriages. The clue

is in the title, Kerridge. -- The clue is in the title, coach. Norwich

City were confident they could make it into the premiership next season

at the start of this season, now does not look so lightly. Could this

be the 90 taken there? -- the man. It's the first day of the county

cricket season today and for Essex, it means

return to Division One. Their first game at the County

Ground in Chelmsford The fans will be hoping the club

fares much better in the top flight James Burridge has had the enviable

job of spending the day Don't laugh. It is a tough gig, I

promise you. Only the one ice cream to day but you can see the covers

are all behind us. Great weather for the start of the canopy

championship. It's a great deal in these parts because it was a view

years since ethics were in division one. They got them out for 119 in

the first innings. Northampton got out Glamorgan for just over 100.

They have over 150 with play still continuing. An two-day couple days,

when you know the cricket season is about to start, it is one

reassuring. -- wonderfully. We've got a marvellous

day's weather in prospect, the sun is shining,

the crowd are here They have been outside the ground

for a good hour now. I'm pleased they came

through and did the job last year, and we are looking

forward to thrashing everyone inside Lancashire have won

the toss and batted. Essex back in division one,

what does new cricket Particularly a blank canvas

at the start of the season, there is a lot of expectations

and there lot of Then, a new season, a new division

for Essex cricket and changes, too, with Bay- night

cricket being introduced for the Undeniably, the biggest talking

point for fans of county cricket right now is the revolution taking

place in the T20 game. The England and Wales

Cricket Board wants to create a new T20 tournament

in the year 2020. Eight new teams based in cities

with the aim to attract new It is worth ?1.3 million to each

club, but they won't be playing in it, although

their best players well. And there's a chance of the games

will be broadcast on to We all follow it, love it,

and it is part of rDNA. We've got to do something,

because the status quo is not any good for the long-term

future of the game. Copying models that have

worked around the world. Potentially, it could be the death

of the County Championship, 2020, because will they have the fan

base to go to both? I wonder where the four-day

championship game will go and the Test match scene, and I find

it even more worrying that Tom Harrison of the ECB already advising

the England test team to play entertaining cricket, as it is more

important than mere results. I can tell you, when it

comes to the Ashes, While this certainly an appetite

for competitive cricket at Essex, over 2000 were packed

in on the opening day, relishing life

back in the top flight. I'm really joined by Neal Wagoner,

the New Zealand international who has planned now. Strange backplane

for Essex. You international cricketers, you seriously do fly

from one end to the other. What was it like? Great sunshine, no cloud in

the sky, that is really nice and unusual at this time of year. To get

stuck in against the old team I played for in Lancashire, it was

good. What do you make of division one of the campaign championship and

what are Essex's realistic hopes? We have a great squad, great guys, a

want of you, quite a good amount of experienced players as well. It is

quite exciting, there is a wad of talent around. Great for the club

and everything goes the full season and stay competing, but give

ourselves the best chance to wind it. Essex will benefit from the

injured player in the next few weeks as Yeah, great to have someone of

his ability and leadership qualities, his experience will be

handy for us. Great to pick his brain out there as well. Great for

us. Lovely to meet you, enjoy Essex over the next few months. I will see

over the next few weeks and BBC Essex will follow ball by ball

commentary through the season. Thank you very much in the.

For more than 100 years, the Walberswick ferry in Suffolk

There was Benjamin Cross, Old Bob, Young Bob, David

The ferry is a rowing boat which only operates

And because it's so busy, the boat tends to take

That's why Dani has commissoned the building of a new boat,

I'm very passionate about the whole history of the ferry. Everybody in

the area lost the ferry, they come here to get on it. I want to keep it

as it is, really stop Dani Church rolling across the River Blyth, as

her ancestors have done since 1891. Benjamin Cross, her great, great,

great uncle. The on-board on the left here and her dad, David. --

Young Bob. Now she needs a new doubts to do the journey. This was

quite a big visitation. Really big decision. -- decision. Quite a scary

decision to make on my own because it is quite a project. I'm happy

with how it's going and can't wait to get it in the water. The about is

being built in Lowestoft. To date, the builders were roving. The oak

timbers being secured to the whole with Square, copper nails. Lots of

banging. -- hull. The new doubt is a copy of the old one and, according

to centre, it has been a bit of a headache. -- Seb. Added mean that in

a bad way, just a wad of problem solving in trying to recreate the

old notes and work out how they built it. We try to do the same

thing. -- lot. Today, the Dani came to the College to check on the

progress with her son Charlie. The note is being named after him and

will be called Young Charlie. It is becoming on an almost there, the

guys are working really hard. Fantastic, I'm pleased. Young

Charlie will be finished a few weeks' time, the other Young Charlie

said it is great but did not add any more. He does not want to readily

doubt across the River Blyth yet but works with ferry is in his blood,

surely. -- want to row the boat. It looks like hard work, Matt. Yes,

and young Charlie a man of few words. You are on very ferry just a

few weekends ago. Yes, Dani is amazing. I was on it on Mothering

Sunday with my fish and chips. Great timing.

40 day, great day. Beautiful blue skies this is over Huntingdon.

Similar skies over Burnham on Crouch as well. You can see the satellite

picture here. Through the course of the afternoon, a lot of this melted

away. A little bit in the north-east. Every night tonight, a

little bit of cloud coming in getting a lot of clear sky.

Underneath the clear sky, we will have some pretty messed and fall.

And then Patti Frost, too. -- patchy mist and fog. As well as some winds,

temperatures are five Celsius. Some chilly air over the land he gave

botched immoral, much warmer air heating up from the continent. Nest

and for clearing. A lovely day on the cards with some sunshine and a

bit more in the way of cloud in the east at times. She staff. All in

all, some lovely sunshine, helping temperatures inland. Perhaps even a

bit higher than that. -- patchy stuff. If they get an onshore

breeze, temperatures they get closer to average one still very nice in

the sunshine with a much more sunshine ending the day across the

board. That is Saturday. Sunday's Bill high pressure in charge, still

a very warm flirt and there from the south. On Sunday, when they meet and

Ford have gone, again another cracking day. On Sunday, a free get

even warmer still. -- mist and fog. 22 Celsius as well. A very super

day. Make the most of the weekend because it is a bit of a change as

we head into the beginning of next week. Winds swing around back to the

north-west, bringing in cooler air. On Monday, temperatures struggling

to 12 Celsius. Some may not get that high. A cloudy day with shallots.

The last. Tuesday should be dry everywhere with spells of sunshine.

-- showers. Turning Westerly as well, but cooler compares to the

weekend. Before I go, check your barometer. Bridging the millibars

which is 30.26 inches and imagery. I will see you later. That is what we

want about England, changeable weather. Enjoying the sunshine. Have

a good weekend. Goodbye. Highlights - Friday at 7 on BBC Two,
