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.
