In the programme tonight,the landfill search for missing airman | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
It will go on for at least three extra weeks. | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
We road test some of their policies in Colchester. | :00:18. | :00:29. | |
Take a look at this. You can record your own message or photograph and | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
send it to your friends. The latest way of reminding people | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
to register to vote. 18 stone lighter | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
than she used to be. First tonight, a new development | :00:42. | :00:54. | |
in the hunt for the missing Police have announced | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
they will continue to search a landfill site near Cambridge | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
for another three weeks. after a night out in Bury St Edmunds | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
in September last year. Suffolk Police are | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
working on a theory that his body was taken | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
to a landfill site near They started searching | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
that site in early March and said it would take | :01:15. | :01:27. | |
a maximum of ten weeks. But those ten weeks | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
have come and gone. They also said, | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
if his body is there, it would be in one | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
particular part of the site. Now they say the search | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
will be widened. They will also carry on for at least | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
another three weeks. Our first report tonight | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
is from Ian Barmer. This search was always going to be a | :01:41. | :01:51. | |
massive undertaking. Only area of roughly one quarter of Nico has | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
already been excavated. 3500 tonnes of waste has been looked over by | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
officers looking for any trace of Corrie Mckeague. His mother was | :02:02. | :02:13. | |
pleased that finally the landfill site was been searched five months | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
after he had disappeared. With Odinga deficit happened at first? | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
Yes, but they do not want to go there. They are doing it now. Corrie | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
Mckeague was last seen in Bury St Edmunds. Cameras caught him going | :02:33. | :02:41. | |
into a nearly every commercial dustbins are. He was not recorded | :02:42. | :02:51. | |
coming out. His phone was traced on the way to the landfill site, but at | :02:52. | :03:00. | |
the time, it was not believed that the lorry in question had anything | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
in it. That was later found not to be correct. | :03:08. | :03:08. | |
Kim Riley is at the landfill site now. | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
So Kim, what do we think lies behind today's decision by the police? | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
We have to be clear. They have been through 3500 tonnes of waste and | :03:16. | :03:30. | |
they have not come across any trees of Corrie Mckeague. But they have | :03:31. | :03:39. | |
been finding items relating to the tame, date and location when he was | :03:40. | :03:51. | |
last seen. When the hunt began, the police had the central focus for the | :03:52. | :03:59. | |
search. But things do move around. Wiest linked to the location has | :04:00. | :04:07. | |
been found and the central area and we are searching. So based on advice | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
from people in the county, this search is now being extended. It | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
will be for at least three weeks, possibly more, but that will be | :04:21. | :04:21. | |
under constant review. As you probably know, | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
the Liberal Democrats So what does it mean | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
for this region? The Lib Dems are the only | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
major party to promise a second referendum on the terms | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
of the Brexit deal. And that includes the possibility | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
of staying in the EU, They are planning an increase | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
of 1p on income tax And there will be ?7 billion | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
pounds extra for schools. They also say there will 15 hours | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
free childcare every And they will maintain | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
the "triple lock" on pensions. That means that pensions go up | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
by the same as average earnings, the Consumer Price | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
Index, or by 2.5%, And on housing, a promise to build | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
300,000 homes a year by 2022 So let's take a closer | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
look at three of those. Brexit, childcare and housing. | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
Alex Dunlop is in Colchester. So let's take a closer | :05:05. | :05:12. | |
look at three of those. Brexit, childcare and housing. | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
Alex Dunlop is in Colchester. Welcome to the theatre. The timing | :05:16. | :05:38. | |
is perfect. The candidates are picking numbers out of our hurt did | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
decide who will talk first at the first major hustings together. 700 | :05:44. | :05:51. | |
people will come in here tonight. New house is growing up in | :05:52. | :05:59. | |
Colchester. But what is the impact for first-time buyers? I need the | :06:00. | :06:09. | |
?12,500 deposit on a ?120,000 flat. That is difficult. The liberal CV | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
will bring forward policies which will make it much easier for | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
first-time buyers to get on the property market. Estate agent says | :06:21. | :06:28. | |
many young local buyers who need help. Many people are being able and | :06:29. | :06:38. | |
having to rent for between three in five years before the able to | :06:39. | :06:47. | |
purchase a property. A complex issue. The main area in Colchester | :06:48. | :06:57. | |
is that we need more social housing. How do we do that? We need to give | :06:58. | :07:07. | |
notice to housing associations to provide the houses which are needed. | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
I think we have to keep going with the likes of start-up schemes. But | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
we simply need to build more housing. We need to take over | :07:17. | :07:24. | |
long-standing empty houses. Properties which have been empty for | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
more than six months should be appropriated. There is some | :07:28. | :07:38. | |
agreement between all the major parties Liberal Democrat policy, but | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
when it comes to Brexit, the party are out on their own. We took the | :07:45. | :07:59. | |
temperature in Colchester. We want to have another look at it and see | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
if we like the deal, not of the politicians like it. No. We have | :08:03. | :08:09. | |
decided to leave. We have to just go with it. I am not that interested in | :08:10. | :08:21. | |
politics, but I do think the Prime Minister mix-up remained quickly and | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
get on with it. I think it is at the picture for the Liberal Democrats to | :08:29. | :08:36. | |
go for something like that. Childcare is a less contentious | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
issue. The CV will extend Che would for all two-year-olds. Jennifer said | :08:41. | :08:48. | |
she would welcome it. But everyone promises things. Sometimes it | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
happens, sometimes it does not. It is only when the do it that you know | :08:54. | :09:01. | |
about it. We are in favour of anything in which the children could | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
access good quality childcare. But that is just about being | :09:07. | :09:19. | |
sustainable. Like young Alana, they are hoping that the politicians will | :09:20. | :09:27. | |
make a splash. The voting population in Colchester has expanded more than | :09:28. | :09:35. | |
any free else in the region. Up by 9%. The people here tonight will be | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
hoping that the view of the policies that we want to hear. | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
Of course, the Lib Dems were once the "second party" | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
across much of the region, behind the Conservatives. | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
In 2010, they had 24% of the vote in Norfolk, | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
It gave them four MPs in North Norfolk, | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
Norwich South, Cambridge and Colchester. | :09:54. | :09:54. | |
In Colchester, in 2010, Sir Bob Russell had 48% of the vote. | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
In 2015, he was out, when the Lib Dem share | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
Our political correspondent Andrew Sinclair is in the only seat | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
they held on to in this region two years ago, | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
Good evening. It is worth noting that until recently, the Liberal | :10:13. | :10:35. | |
Democrats at the second-largest number of local councillors in the | :10:36. | :10:44. | |
region. There is a lot of liberal democratic minded people who would | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
definitely consider voting for them if they had the rate policies. Last | :10:49. | :10:57. | |
time round, it was student tuition fees which played extremely badly | :10:58. | :11:07. | |
for the party. Here in North Norfolk, it is clear that Brexit is | :11:08. | :11:15. | |
the major issue. A lot of people do not like the fact that the Liberal | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
Democrats are offering some sort of uncertainty for you by the | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
Conservatives are not. And Andrew, North | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
Norfolk was once again Absolutely. The Defence Secretary | :11:28. | :11:43. | |
was here today. He told party supporters to ignore what the | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
opinion polls are saying and that it was important that the work for | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
every vote. We are not complacent. We need to work very hard to give | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
the Prime Minister the mandate to negotiate Brexit on our behalf. A | :12:00. | :12:09. | |
majority of 12 is not enough. The shadow inflation secretary -- | :12:10. | :12:18. | |
Education Secretary was on hand for the Labour Party in the region. The | :12:19. | :12:27. | |
emphasis is on segregation and the standards rather than the structure | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
on schools. We want to ensure that every child reaches the full | :12:34. | :12:41. | |
potential. More on the manifesto coming up tomorrow. | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
You can see a full list of candidates for | :12:44. | :12:45. | |
and every other seat, online at bbc.co.uk/politics | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
And a little bit later in the programme, | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
a special report on how the election is playing in the Polish community. | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
We have also got advice on how you register to vote. | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
You are watching Look East from the BBC. | :13:01. | :13:02. | |
Coming up next in the programme tonight, meet Britain's | :13:03. | :13:04. | |
slimming champion. How Tracey Topping lost 18 stone. | :13:05. | :13:18. | |
Back to the election now and the views of people who have | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
Polish migrants make up the biggest foreign-born | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
and that gives them the right to vote. | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
One of the big centres for Poles in this region is Peterborough. | :13:30. | :13:31. | |
More than 6,500 Polish nationals have | :13:32. | :13:33. | |
So for tonight's special report, we asked Emma Baugh to find out more | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
about the issues that matter to them. | :13:39. | :13:47. | |
In her Peterborough radio studio, she cannot apply to become a citizen | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
She says many of her listeners have already applied in | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
order to have a secure future and help choose | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
Polish people in the UK are waiting for the outcome of the negotiations. | :13:58. | :14:08. | |
That is why much more people have applied for British | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
One of her listeners, Robert, has been a UK citizen since | :14:13. | :14:19. | |
2010 and now with a British passport has other concerns. | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
I would like to be concerned only about the | :14:26. | :14:33. | |
Economic aspects of political party programmes, this is the most | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
Ivy also has citizenship, she owns a shoe shop | :14:38. | :14:48. | |
and for her it is all about staying in the single market. | :14:49. | :14:50. | |
I want the economy to grow, to be good for my | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
Because most of my goods comes from Europe. | :14:54. | :15:02. | |
He has not got a British passport but his five-year-old son | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
He is looking to get citizenship now himself. | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
I want to do what normal citizens do, I have | :15:12. | :15:13. | |
been hit quite a long time, ten years, it is quite a long time to | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
Whether people have a vote or not this election will have a greater | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
impact on those who live and work here and how much their lives will | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
Of course, it doesn't matter who you want to win, | :15:26. | :15:39. | |
or who you hope will be the next Prime Minister | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
If you have lived in the same house for a number of years and you filled | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
in the form last autumn, you are probably on the list. | :15:49. | :15:50. | |
But if you have moved recently you might not be. | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
And the deadline for registration for the general election | :15:54. | :15:55. | |
is just five days away. This from Katherine Nash. | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
Students armed with questions for the prospective members of | :16:01. | :16:09. | |
Parliament. The deadline for registering to vote is coming up. It | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
is something young people sometimes feel to do. I have registered. It is | :16:14. | :16:31. | |
very important. A registered to vote. Interest my in politics is not | :16:32. | :16:42. | |
as high as it probably should be, so I would not be sure who to vote for. | :16:43. | :16:53. | |
Two years ago, only two thirds of 18-19 -year-olds registered to vote. | :16:54. | :17:04. | |
It was we be the other to carry -- categories. It is all about | :17:05. | :17:11. | |
political maturity. It is you entering adulthood in many ways. | :17:12. | :17:20. | |
There are lots of innovative ways to try and encourage young people to | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
Fort. From today, the social medial application Snapchat has been added. | :17:26. | :17:37. | |
You can actually use it to send messages to your friends. It | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
amplifies the message. It gets in the space that the young people | :17:44. | :17:51. | |
occupy, which is very important. It is hoped the use of social media | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
will assist young people to register. There are just five days | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
to go before the deadline for registration concludes. | :18:02. | :18:03. | |
Come on then, nuts and bolts, what do you need to do | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
to make sure you are on the electoral roll? | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
You just head to the government website. You fill out a piece of | :18:11. | :18:22. | |
paper and post awesomely do so on the website. There is a big green | :18:23. | :18:30. | |
button. It says start here. It should take literally five minutes. | :18:31. | :18:38. | |
You have got five days to do that. The big green button. That is my | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
kind of computer programme! but it is the Chelsea | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
Flower Show next week, so the green-fingered have been | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
working their fingers raw to be One group has been | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
working on a boat. It is a replica of the so-called | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
Chet Boat found next to the River Chet on the Norfolk | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
Broads four years ago. The original is medieval | :18:59. | :19:00. | |
and made of oak, So how do you recreate an ancient | :19:01. | :19:02. | |
boat in a modern college? This report | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
is by the boatbuilders themselves. What we discovered in doing | :19:08. | :19:09. | |
the drawings of it and the reconstruction of it is that | :19:10. | :19:11. | |
it's almost identical So it was probably used as a little | :19:12. | :19:13. | |
lighter for carrying reeds, eeling. Would have been | :19:14. | :19:24. | |
a one-man boat, really. Sometimes it would have sailed | :19:25. | :19:26. | |
and occasionally it would probably have been pushed along | :19:27. | :19:28. | |
with a pole, which locally is You shave a bit of the planks off, | :19:29. | :19:30. | |
you try more modern methods, So it is kind of make | :19:31. | :19:39. | |
it up as you go along. I think it is probably how | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
the original was built. We all want everything | :19:46. | :19:47. | |
to be perfect. That is the ethos of | :19:48. | :19:49. | |
the college, a centre of excellence, it stretches | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
to everything we do. Doing this garden has | :19:53. | :19:54. | |
taken a lot of thought. Gary has taken on the | :19:55. | :19:56. | |
brunt of it but you always think of that little thing | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
at the last moment and think, What you will see | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
at the garden is this little double-ended medieval chet | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
boat under construction, surrounded by natural plants | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
from that period, which are still found, | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
a lot of them are very rare. It is not very often | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
you get people coming straight from school at 18 and | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
working alongside retired lawyers, accountants, people who have | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
travelled the world, sailed It is nice for me to get back | :20:28. | :20:29. | |
and as an instructor I am often It is nice to get | :20:30. | :20:37. | |
involved and get in It is the passion for what is done | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
here, it is a place where the craft and skills of | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
joinery and boat-building are built to such a level you do not | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
see anywhere else. My wife is very keen I'm | :20:50. | :20:58. | |
involved so she can tell all my friends that I was involved | :20:59. | :21:00. | |
in the Chelsea Flower Show. in all its glory in place | :21:01. | :21:08. | |
at the Chelsea Flower Show. On its staithe, | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
to illustrate the life of the boatman and the landscape | :21:14. | :21:15. | |
of the Broads 900 years ago. Listen to this, | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
according to one survey, more than 29 million | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
people in this country So, if one of them was you, | :21:22. | :21:23. | |
you are not alone. And if you need a success | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
story to keep you going, step forward Tracey Topping | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
from Northamptonshire, Tracey ballooned | :21:34. | :21:35. | |
after having children. And in 2014, she tipped | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
the scales at almost 30 stone. Her weight stopped her living | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
a normal life and made Joining her local slimming club | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
changed her life and she has now won an award. | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
Anna Todd has been to meet her. Hold them up. Take a look at that. I | :21:53. | :22:11. | |
think both of us could fit inside! Tracey Topping this half the women | :22:12. | :22:19. | |
she was. She paled on the week after the birth of her first child. A | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
couple of decades later, she could hardly walk and of a rent out. It | :22:26. | :22:35. | |
was very difficult. I love doing things with my grandchildren. But | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
when my grandchildren were born, they were struggling to even homes. | :22:43. | :22:52. | |
The turning point came on a family holiday. She was nursing swollen | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
ankles while the rest of the family were having fun. When she returned | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
home, she joined a local swimming club and stopped eating junk food. | :23:05. | :23:13. | |
Everybody kept seeing each week, we can see a difference. I could not. | :23:14. | :23:24. | |
It was really only before I had lost 5-6 store that I was in a shop and | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
looked at myself in the motor and I suddenly saw. I am just so proud. | :23:31. | :23:46. | |
She is a totally different person. She was smiling and happy when she | :23:47. | :23:54. | |
was losing that week, but no she has done, she has really come out of her | :23:55. | :24:02. | |
shell. She know has two dogs, three grandchildren and two jobs. She can | :24:03. | :24:11. | |
no keep up with everyone. Fantastic. We can catch up with the latest | :24:12. | :24:13. | |
weather forecast. Some much-needed Rhian coming into | :24:14. | :24:34. | |
the region. That should spread to all parts of the region during the | :24:35. | :24:41. | |
next few hours. We received some terrific photographs of the wet | :24:42. | :24:49. | |
weather around this morning. Things went dry for a few hours before the | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
second band of rain brought more showers to the region. Overnight | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
tonight, slightly cooler than last night. Temperatures still in double | :24:59. | :25:07. | |
figures. We will start the day tomorrow only much brighter note. | :25:08. | :25:16. | |
Some good spills of sunshine, perhaps the drop of rain first | :25:17. | :25:24. | |
thing. For most of us, it is likely to be dry. Slightly cool. High | :25:25. | :25:34. | |
temperatures of 17-18dC. Towards the end of the week and the weekend, a | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
degree of uncertainty. Possibly rather showery. But also some | :25:41. | :25:49. | |
sunshine alone. Mostly dry tomorrow. Some heavy showers developing on | :25:50. | :25:57. | |
Friday. Feeling slightly cooler come the weekend. Should be mainly dry, | :25:58. | :26:10. | |
with a bit of showers. Any showers which come alone have the potential | :26:11. | :26:11. | |
to be heavy. That is ever know. We are back at | :26:12. | :26:22. | |
the same time tomorrow evening. Goodbye from no. | :26:23. | :26:53. | |
The choice you now face is all about the future. | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
Whoever wins on the 8th of June will face one overriding task - | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
to get the best possible deal for this United Kingdom from Brexit, | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
because making Brexit a success is central to our national interest | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
and it is central to your own security and prosperity. | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
Because, while there is enormous opportunity for Britain | :27:19. | :27:20. | |
if we do not get this right, the consequences will be serious | :27:21. | :27:28. | |
and they will be felt by ordinary working people across the country. | :27:29. | :27:33. |
