0:00:09 > 0:00:11Hello and welcome to Look East.

0:00:11 > 0:00:12In the programme tonight.

0:00:12 > 0:00:14As Priti Patel's cabinet career hangs

0:00:14 > 0:00:15in the balance, we get the views

0:00:15 > 0:00:22from her constituents in Essex.

0:00:22 > 0:00:26She is a very popular MP. She is the best thing that has happened to this

0:00:26 > 0:00:26town.

0:00:26 > 0:00:29A third strike on the railways in six weeks.

0:00:29 > 0:00:31But tonight Greater Anglia says it's had virtually no

0:00:31 > 0:00:41impact on passengers.

0:00:41 > 0:00:44Growing pressure for better mobile phone coverage.

0:00:44 > 0:00:46 And the life-saving moment

0:00:46 > 0:00:55these two football fans will never forget.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01First tonight, the latest from the Essex constituency

0:01:01 > 0:01:04of Priti Patel as her cabinet career hangs by a thread.

0:01:04 > 0:01:06As you've probably

0:01:06 > 0:01:10heard, the Prime Minister ordered Ms Patel back from a trip to Africa.

0:01:10 > 0:01:11It follows the controversy over her unauthorised meetings

0:01:12 > 0:01:14with Israeli politicians.

0:01:14 > 0:01:15But whatever happens tonight

0:01:15 > 0:01:19she will remain the Member of Parliament for Witham in Essex.

0:01:19 > 0:01:21So what has been the reaction there.

0:01:21 > 0:01:22Andrew Sinclair

0:01:22 > 0:01:23is in Witham.

0:01:23 > 0:01:27Andrew.

0:01:27 > 0:01:32Let me warn you I am about to show you pictures with lots of flashing

0:01:32 > 0:01:36images because in the last few minutes Priti Patel has arrived in

0:01:36 > 0:01:40Downing Street for her meeting with the Prime Minister. This is one of

0:01:40 > 0:01:43those rows that matters duly a lot of people in Westminster but often

0:01:43 > 0:01:48leaves the rest of the public confused. Why does this matter? This

0:01:48 > 0:01:52is not just a dispute about ministerial procedure. When Priti

0:01:52 > 0:01:55Patel returned from that holiday in Israel she was not completely open

0:01:55 > 0:01:59about what she had been doing. That and the fact she had been holding

0:01:59 > 0:02:05some meetings has embarrassed the Prime Minister and damaged an

0:02:05 > 0:02:09already weakened Government. That is why the MP from this town is in so

0:02:09 > 0:02:14much trouble tonight. She may be about to lose her job as a minister

0:02:14 > 0:02:20but Priti Patel will still be the MP. In this year's election she got

0:02:20 > 0:02:2364% of the vote and despite all the negative headlines any of her

0:02:23 > 0:02:27constituents appear to be behind her.She is about the best thing

0:02:27 > 0:02:32that has happened to this town.She is a very popular MP. She was put in

0:02:32 > 0:02:36a position where she should have known better that she is a very good

0:02:36 > 0:02:41MP.This does not diminish your opinion of her?No. She's chewed not

0:02:41 > 0:02:49have done what she did. It was a bit underhand.Despite being seen as a

0:02:49 > 0:02:52high-flyer Priti Patel has always found time to be seen in the

0:02:52 > 0:02:56constituency and championed local causes. She has been at the

0:02:56 > 0:03:03forefront of the campaign to improve A120. She launched a campaign for

0:03:03 > 0:03:09better real services in the East.We selected her to serve the people,

0:03:09 > 0:03:13which she was elected to do, that is what she has done.Even though she

0:03:13 > 0:03:19may have embarrassed the party that doesn't bother you?Clearly,

0:03:19 > 0:03:23reputation is key to us, but I am really only concerned about her job

0:03:23 > 0:03:32as a member of Parliament for Witham.Priti Patel was intending to

0:03:32 > 0:03:37fly back year in time for Remembrance Sunday commemorations

0:03:37 > 0:03:43and then continue with her African visit. It is a sign, say her local

0:03:43 > 0:03:47party, of her dedication to the constituency. But critics say there

0:03:47 > 0:03:51has been times when Witham has lost out by having a globetrotting

0:03:51 > 0:03:54minister as an MP.Hopefully she will be able to spend more time in

0:03:54 > 0:03:58the constituency and pick up a number of the issues, which if you

0:03:58 > 0:04:03are a cabinet this, perhaps are very difficult. Some reports I get from

0:04:03 > 0:04:08constituencies, she has been selective in picking up casework, so

0:04:08 > 0:04:15it may be positive.Few believe her career is at an end.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17She will probably bounce back but for now it looks as if constituency

0:04:17 > 0:04:21work will be her main job. Priti Patel is then with the Prime

0:04:21 > 0:04:25Minister now. This has been a very damaging issue for Priti Patel and

0:04:25 > 0:04:28at some stage she will have to come back to this constituency, a

0:04:28 > 0:04:31constituency where a lot of people like her, but she will have to

0:04:31 > 0:04:33explain what is going on.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36A 48-hour strike involving guards on Greater Anglia railway services

0:04:36 > 0:04:38has gone ahead today - but there's been virtually no

0:04:38 > 0:04:41impact on passengers.

0:04:41 > 0:04:45It's the third time in the last six weeks that members of the RMT

0:04:45 > 0:04:47Union have walked out in a dispute over safety.

0:04:47 > 0:04:54Alex Dunlop is at Norwich station now, Alex.

0:04:54 > 0:04:58You can see behind me the chain for Great Yarmouth has just drawn in. It

0:04:58 > 0:05:03is one of around 500 Greater Anglia chains which has a contingency guard

0:05:03 > 0:05:08on board. Greater Anglia said that just a handful of locomotives have

0:05:08 > 0:05:12been cancelled because of the strike. I caught up with some

0:05:12 > 0:05:16commuters to see how they have been affected by the RMT walk-out.

0:05:16 > 0:05:22Did you notice a difference in your journey?Yes. It is only a visual

0:05:22 > 0:05:29service but the guard was not offering, we had to find someone to

0:05:29 > 0:05:36give us a ticket.No chains have run as normal. Just got back from

0:05:36 > 0:05:46Cambridge five or ten minutes late. No conductors, no ticket

0:05:46 > 0:05:53inspections, but absolutely fine. Very little.I was lucky, I reckon.

0:05:53 > 0:05:58Do you know there is a strike on? Yes, because they did not check

0:05:58 > 0:06:00tickets but that was the only thing I know this. There was a slight

0:06:00 > 0:06:07delay but that is usual anyway.The arguments over safety are well

0:06:07 > 0:06:10rehearsed but in a nutshell greater angry says it wants drivers to have

0:06:10 > 0:06:15control of the doors when its new fleet comes into service in 2019.

0:06:15 > 0:06:20The RMT says that would compromise passenger safety.

0:06:20 > 0:06:27Another strike day, another RMT union picket line, in Clacton,

0:06:27 > 0:06:29and here in Ipswich.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31But this time the walk-out is for 48 hours, not 24.

0:06:31 > 0:06:34Greater Anglia says it's running a near full service with back office

0:06:34 > 0:06:36staff stepping in as contingent guards.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38Unions say passengers are being put at risk.

0:06:38 > 0:06:39The train operator says its temporary teams

0:06:39 > 0:06:43are safety trained.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45We have trained sufficient people to cover and we

0:06:45 > 0:06:47are going to train some more people if we need to.

0:06:47 > 0:06:49And we're just going to carry this on.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52We are going to look after our customers as our

0:06:52 > 0:06:53priority.

0:06:53 > 0:07:02This is not just a local dispute.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04As well as Greater Anglia guards walking out, four other train

0:07:04 > 0:07:07operators are are seeing strike action over the same issue.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09But Anglia says it won't sack any guards

0:07:09 > 0:07:11when the trains with driver-control doors come on-stream in two years.

0:07:11 > 0:07:12The RMT is unconvinced.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14At the moment they're coming out with nice

0:07:14 > 0:07:16things, saying there will always be someone on there.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19Except in emergencies.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22Go on the Southern region.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25The South-eastern region.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27All these other regions, where it already operating, where

0:07:27 > 0:07:29people are running riot, where they are hiring

0:07:29 > 0:07:30security guards to escort

0:07:30 > 0:07:33the driver from one end to the other because they have lost

0:07:33 > 0:07:34control.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37With the Government and the unions today accusing each other of

0:07:37 > 0:07:38playing power politics over the railways,

0:07:38 > 0:07:39this is so much more than

0:07:40 > 0:07:41just a local dispute.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44A plan to create a definitive map of mobile phone coverage in Norfolk

0:07:44 > 0:07:46was agreed by the county council today.

0:07:46 > 0:07:47Councillors say

0:07:47 > 0:07:50they want to encourage the phone companies to spend more improving

0:07:50 > 0:07:51the network.

0:07:51 > 0:07:52There's concern that while broadband

0:07:52 > 0:07:58speeds have improved - mobile coverage has lagged behind.

0:07:58 > 0:08:03At this vineyard, £1.2 million has been invested. The owner and head

0:08:03 > 0:08:09wind picker is proud of the wine which has won international

0:08:09 > 0:08:14recognition.This is our 20 17th vintage. We have just finished the

0:08:14 > 0:08:19fermentation. It is now in the process where we are waiting for the

0:08:19 > 0:08:24East to settle down.That can take up to nine months. When it comes to

0:08:24 > 0:08:27processing customer payments, the card reader which relies on mobile

0:08:27 > 0:08:32phone signals, he has to leave the office and take a walk. Past some of

0:08:32 > 0:08:37the 33 acres of vines, to a corner of a field that faces West towards

0:08:37 > 0:08:40Norwich, six miles away.It can be entertaining when you have customers

0:08:40 > 0:08:45come out to buy their wine, they get the vineyard tour while they are at

0:08:45 > 0:08:50it, but it is frustrating in this day and age not to be able to get a

0:08:50 > 0:08:56mobile signal this close to a large city.On its website the consumer

0:08:56 > 0:09:02organisation Which, features a map, green represents strong mobile

0:09:02 > 0:09:06signal, red represents a weak signal. At County Hall a digital

0:09:06 > 0:09:09innovation committee voted to Commission its own new survey.

0:09:09 > 0:09:23In simple terms, mobile forms that are bought off the High Street, we

0:09:23 > 0:09:27hope to have results by mid January. We have a very good relationship

0:09:27 > 0:09:33with the planning authorities around the place. Site to get deployed, but

0:09:33 > 0:09:37on occasion, planning permission gets turned down. It is very

0:09:37 > 0:09:43important that communities recognise that mobile connectivity is vital to

0:09:43 > 0:09:47businesses and to people nowadays and that they support these planning

0:09:47 > 0:09:50applications.The County Council says for a fee it could help

0:09:50 > 0:10:01telecoms companies find suitable locations for the infrastructure.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04A couple from Norfolk have been forced to live apart

0:10:04 > 0:10:06because the council won't provide the care she needs at home.

0:10:06 > 0:10:08Sally Goleby was moved to a care home

0:10:08 > 0:10:09after her husband

0:10:09 > 0:10:10Eric had a stroke.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12Eric is now back home

0:10:12 > 0:10:13and wants to look after Sally again

0:10:13 > 0:10:16but the council won't give her the same care package

0:10:16 > 0:10:26she had before.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34For six months Eric has to make 40 mile round trip to visit his

0:10:34 > 0:10:35wife.

0:10:35 > 0:10:38Sally was placed in a care home after she had a stroke.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40Once a carer herself, for two decades, her

0:10:40 > 0:10:41husband became hers.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43This is the wet room for Sally.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46At home, Eric says he has everything she needs and can

0:10:46 > 0:10:50cope with care visits.

0:10:50 > 0:10:50Sally has been getting the maximum home care

0:10:50 > 0:10:51local authorities provide.

0:10:51 > 0:10:54Any more and the options are to pay for a

0:10:54 > 0:10:56live-in carer or go to a council-funded care home.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58Eric wants the home care help they had before he

0:10:58 > 0:11:05was in hospital.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08They just said that there wasn't the care companies out

0:11:08 > 0:11:10there in the area to cover Sally anymore on account

0:11:10 > 0:11:11of the extreme work they

0:11:11 > 0:11:12have to do.

0:11:12 > 0:11:16Which I think is absolutely ridiculous.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19If I can do it 21 hours a day, they should be

0:11:19 > 0:11:24able to do it two-and-a-half hours.

0:11:24 > 0:11:26His MP, and the former Care Minister, believes Norfolk County

0:11:26 > 0:11:28Council should do more.

0:11:28 > 0:11:33They say that none of their authorised

0:11:33 > 0:11:36providers has been able to come up with a care package.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39But if that's the case then you've got an

0:11:39 > 0:11:41obligation surely to look at alternative ways, as a matter of

0:11:41 > 0:11:43some urgency, to sort this out.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45But to wait four months for anything to

0:11:45 > 0:11:52happen I think is intolerable.

0:11:52 > 0:11:53The care Mrs Goleby would

0:11:53 > 0:11:55have got in her own home was expensive.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57It would have cost a few hundred pounds per week.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59Nearly as much, perhaps even more, than

0:11:59 > 0:12:01putting her in this care home.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04It shouldn't just be about cost.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06It should be about what is best for the

0:12:06 > 0:12:08person.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11But there isn't an indefinite amount of money in the council to

0:12:11 > 0:12:14pay for people to have care at home.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16Norfolk County Council say they try to keep

0:12:16 > 0:12:19families together but they

0:12:19 > 0:12:22must ensure the care they provide keeps people like the Golebys safe.

0:12:22 > 0:12:26Sally needs a lot of help including being fed.

0:12:26 > 0:12:29You want to go home, yes.

0:12:29 > 0:12:33This, the care conundrum, between what people

0:12:33 > 0:12:35like the Golebys want, what they need, and what they can get.

0:12:35 > 0:12:39In an age with tighter social care budgets and a

0:12:39 > 0:12:49rapidly ageing population, a conundrum could become a crisis.

0:12:52 > 0:12:53The children of a woman

0:12:53 > 0:12:55who was murdered by a stalker

0:12:55 > 0:12:57are making a claim for damages from the police

0:12:57 > 0:12:58and a mental health trust

0:12:58 > 0:12:59in the High Court.

0:12:59 > 0:13:00Mary Griffiths,

0:13:00 > 0:13:02who lived in Bury St Edmunds,

0:13:02 > 0:13:03was killed in 2009.

0:13:03 > 0:13:05She was shot in the chest with a bolt gun used

0:13:05 > 0:13:06for killing cattle

0:13:06 > 0:13:09by John McFarlane.

0:13:09 > 0:13:15An independent report found failings in the way

0:13:15 > 0:13:17Police

0:13:17 > 0:13:27had handled the case.

0:13:30 > 0:13:35The inspiring story behind one of our Weather Watchers, coming up. And

0:13:35 > 0:13:43the inspiring story about Luke Davenport.

0:13:43 > 0:13:45A great story now about the friendship between a

0:13:45 > 0:13:4725-year-old archaeologist and a 94-year-old veteran of D-Day.

0:13:47 > 0:13:48It all goes

0:13:48 > 0:13:51back to when John Henry Phillips met Patrick Thomas last

0:13:51 > 0:13:52year in Normandy.

0:13:52 > 0:13:53Patrick had a story to tell.

0:13:53 > 0:13:54During the Normandy landings,

0:13:54 > 0:13:56when Patrick was just 19 years old,

0:13:56 > 0:13:57he was on board a landing craft.

0:13:57 > 0:13:58There

0:13:58 > 0:13:59was a terrible explosion

0:13:59 > 0:14:02and most of the people on board were killed.

0:14:02 > 0:14:05This from Mike Liggins.

0:14:05 > 0:14:07John Henry Phillips is an archaeologist by profession

0:14:07 > 0:14:10but his passion is conflict history.

0:14:10 > 0:14:13Last year he met Patrick Thomas on a trip

0:14:13 > 0:14:17to Normandy, and they became friends.

0:14:17 > 0:14:21Patrick was in the Royal Navy and was at D-Day in 1944, when

0:14:21 > 0:14:27his landing craft was sunk by a mine.

0:14:27 > 0:14:30The explosion must have lifted the stern up and drove the bows

0:14:30 > 0:14:33under.

0:14:33 > 0:14:35The only thing I could do was get in the water.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37I saw this bloody great deck.

0:14:37 > 0:14:38We were under water.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40So I got out in a hurry.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42John decided he wanted to tell Patrick's

0:14:42 > 0:14:43story on film, and, more to the point,

0:14:43 > 0:14:44wanted to find

0:14:44 > 0:14:47Patrick's landing craft, now at the bottom of the sea.

0:14:47 > 0:14:48You can't recognise anything?

0:14:48 > 0:14:52Not really, no.

0:14:52 > 0:14:56Things have changed so much.

0:14:56 > 0:15:00John has started making a documentary

0:15:00 > 0:15:10film, but now needs more money to

0:15:12 > 0:15:14film, but now needs more money to find the wreck

0:15:15 > 0:15:16and finish the film.

0:15:16 > 0:15:17Which is why he's created a crowdfunding campaign.

0:15:17 > 0:15:20I'm not a diver, I'm not a maritime exploder.

0:15:20 > 0:15:22It has become a bit of an obsession.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24I am hoping to find it whilst he is still with us.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26We are on a road trip there.

0:15:26 > 0:15:29If I can find the ship I can change history and I

0:15:29 > 0:15:30can change Patrick's life.

0:15:30 > 0:15:31Patrick's story will be there forever.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33It has become an obsession for John, and

0:15:33 > 0:15:36with Patrick now 94 years young, the quest to find his landing craft

0:15:37 > 0:15:40has become a race against time.

0:15:40 > 0:15:48And John Henry Phillips is here now.

0:15:48 > 0:15:53Somebody says it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Where do you

0:15:53 > 0:16:00start? Patrick was on one of the beaches. You start there. You look

0:16:00 > 0:16:04into the archives, where he was rescued from. You go from there.You

0:16:04 > 0:16:08think you might have found the right place? We have got a series of

0:16:08 > 0:16:13targets that we are aiming to hit in April, it is not until you get under

0:16:13 > 0:16:19the waves that you know what is down there.Why is it important to get it

0:16:19 > 0:16:23done so quickly?It is important because these guys, and Patrick,

0:16:23 > 0:16:27sadly they will not be alone forever. You could find the vessel

0:16:27 > 0:16:30in ten years' time when they are gone but then it is just a bit of

0:16:30 > 0:16:35metal in the English Channel, with Patrick here, it means so much more.

0:16:35 > 0:16:38It is not just about finding the ship, it is about honouring all

0:16:38 > 0:16:42those that lost their lives on the ship. Patrick himself actually goes

0:16:42 > 0:16:48and visit the grave of his best friend.Yes, he lost his best friend

0:16:48 > 0:16:52that be. He has always lacked that place to commemorate where his

0:16:52 > 0:16:57friends went down, because he does not know where the ship was. It is

0:16:57 > 0:17:00finding a place where Patrick came over his friends ended up and know

0:17:00 > 0:17:04that he can commemorate them there. You ignore that there are things

0:17:04 > 0:17:08don't end the place where you are looking that you do not know that

0:17:08 > 0:17:12the landing classes there.When will you know? When we get down there and

0:17:12 > 0:17:18when I have a look. Hopefully in April, when we get on with it.You

0:17:18 > 0:17:26also want to have a memorial. I know you have met the local mayor.Yes,

0:17:26 > 0:17:32in Normandy, he was very accommodating. He gave as the

0:17:32 > 0:17:35blessing, not the official permission, but he placed the search

0:17:35 > 0:17:39and said you could put the Memorial there and have Patrick and be loved.

0:17:39 > 0:17:45And Patrick's reaction to all this? He just cannot believe it. He texts

0:17:45 > 0:17:49me most days to see he cannot believe that this has happened at

0:17:49 > 0:17:54such a late age. It is like a lap of honour for a man that deserves it.

0:17:54 > 0:17:57Good luck with raising the money. Good luck with the filming. I hope

0:17:57 > 0:18:00you find what you are looking for.

0:18:00 > 0:18:03Five months ago the racing driver Luke Davenport was seriously injured

0:18:03 > 0:18:04in a ten-car pile up.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06He was in a coma for two weeks.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08Many thought it would end the career

0:18:08 > 0:18:09of the 24-year-old driver from Cambridge.

0:18:09 > 0:18:10But

0:18:10 > 0:18:12incredibly he's back behind the wheel

0:18:12 > 0:18:14and has been back on the track

0:18:14 > 0:18:15at Snetterton in Norfolk.

0:18:15 > 0:18:20This from BBC Cambridgeshire presenter Chris Mann.

0:18:20 > 0:18:23Preparing to get back on track.

0:18:23 > 0:18:29Luke Davenport's long road to recovery almost over.

0:18:29 > 0:18:31The comeback many people believed was almost

0:18:31 > 0:18:32impossible.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34The very badly damaged car of Luke Davenport.

0:18:34 > 0:18:36Back in June this ten car accident almost cost

0:18:36 > 0:18:37him his life.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40It left him in a coma with a string of serious injuries.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43Fractures to the ankle and tibia and fibula on the left leg,

0:18:43 > 0:18:45and my cruciate ligament on my right knee ruptured.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48My pelvis was also effectively shattered.

0:18:48 > 0:18:50Then I broke four ribs, punctured both lungs, and

0:18:50 > 0:19:00my right clavicle.

0:19:01 > 0:19:02Two weeks in a coma.

0:19:02 > 0:19:03Do you really want to race again?

0:19:03 > 0:19:06Do you want to get back in that race car today?

0:19:06 > 0:19:08Yes, I can't wait to get back.

0:19:08 > 0:19:09It's ingrained.

0:19:09 > 0:19:10I'm desperate to get back.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13He is behind the wheel for the very first time since the

0:19:13 > 0:19:14crash.

0:19:14 > 0:19:15Luke passed a medical last week.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17Once again he has his licence to race.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20In a sport where hundredths of a second are literally

0:19:20 > 0:19:21the difference between success and failure,

0:19:21 > 0:19:23between winning and losing, Luke has

0:19:23 > 0:19:25to prove that not only he has the desire,

0:19:25 > 0:19:26but the ability also and

0:19:26 > 0:19:29that's what has been put to the test here today at Snetterton.

0:19:29 > 0:19:31That is what today is all about, to give him

0:19:31 > 0:19:34a chance to go into the winter, to show he's still around

0:19:34 > 0:19:36and still perfectly functional in a race car.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38And that he is ready to go forward.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41When I watched him drive the pit lane, I am not normally an

0:19:41 > 0:19:44emotional person around race car, but I got quite emotional, because

0:19:44 > 0:19:48for me that was a sign that he had got back to health, fought his way

0:19:48 > 0:19:49through and was back, basically.

0:19:49 > 0:19:51His lap times had impressed the team.

0:19:51 > 0:19:53Safely back in the pits, how about those injuries?

0:19:53 > 0:19:54How was that?

0:19:54 > 0:20:00It was relieving that there wasn't any pain

0:20:00 > 0:20:02or anything like that but above all just great

0:20:02 > 0:20:04feeling to get back in a

0:20:04 > 0:20:12car after five months.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14Worried that something bad could happen

0:20:14 > 0:20:15again?

0:20:15 > 0:20:21It was a very freak accident we were involved with.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23Safety levels in cars these days is such an

0:20:23 > 0:20:24impressive level.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26Yes, there are risks, but we will push on.

0:20:26 > 0:20:27We will be all right.

0:20:27 > 0:20:30He passed the test with flying colours.

0:20:30 > 0:20:33So against all odds Luke is on course to be racing

0:20:33 > 0:20:39again next season.

0:20:39 > 0:20:41The West Ham fan from Essex

0:20:41 > 0:20:43whose life was saved at a football match

0:20:43 > 0:20:44by another supporter.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46Ian Perry was at Wembley for a cup game

0:20:46 > 0:20:47against Tottenham last month

0:20:47 > 0:20:48when he collpased.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50The fellow supporter was another Ian,

0:20:50 > 0:20:51Ian Pearse,

0:20:51 > 0:20:57who realised how serious the situation was.

0:20:57 > 0:20:59He started CPR before the paramedics arrived.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02Today Mr Perry got the chance to thank him in person and said

0:21:02 > 0:21:03they'd now be lifelong friends.

0:21:03 > 0:21:04Gareth George reports

0:21:04 > 0:21:08from Rayne near Braintree.

0:21:08 > 0:21:17Ian Perry meets the man who saved his life. Thank you.Lesson. A

0:21:17 > 0:21:21pleasure to meet you. You have got more colour in your cheeks now.You

0:21:21 > 0:21:28saved my life.I cannot thank you enough.I had to find him, to thank

0:21:28 > 0:21:33him, because without him, I would not be here to day.This is an

0:21:33 > 0:21:37amazing situation that has brought Ian and myself together.I am

0:21:37 > 0:21:42pleased to meet him. Two weeks ago they were here at the London Stadium

0:21:42 > 0:21:46to watch West Ham United. Both love going to games with their families.

0:21:46 > 0:21:51But as he queued at the turnstiles, Ian Perry collapsed. His heart had

0:21:51 > 0:21:58stopped. He was lucky Ian Pearse was nearby, his company supplies

0:21:58 > 0:22:04defibrillators, because of that he knows how to perform CPR.I got him

0:22:04 > 0:22:09onto his back. I started to shout as best I could to anybody who was

0:22:09 > 0:22:13around, to get a defibrillator, knowing the important thing was to

0:22:13 > 0:22:21get his heart restarted. I started a vigorous chest massage. I didn't do

0:22:21 > 0:22:25any ventilation. I just did it gets on his chest and pump it as hard as

0:22:25 > 0:22:30I could which I did for three or four minutes.He kept Ian Perry

0:22:30 > 0:22:34allied and medics took over. An appeal on social media led to the

0:22:34 > 0:22:45meeting today. Both are lifelong fans of West Ham.He was not there,

0:22:45 > 0:22:49he went to Manchester United. Everybody laughed in the adverts. I

0:22:49 > 0:22:53was going to hospital. I came to, the first words I said was, what is

0:22:53 > 0:23:01the score? Always try and meet up at matches. I will never forget him.

0:23:01 > 0:23:07For what he did for me. Really important. If anybody can give any

0:23:07 > 0:23:12advice, visit your local animal and service, the do training sessions --

0:23:12 > 0:23:23visit your local Ambulance Service, they do training sessions.

0:23:23 > 0:23:25And if you want training on CPR skills

0:23:25 > 0:23:26you can get details from

0:23:26 > 0:23:28the Resuscitation Council

0:23:28 > 0:23:30at resus.org.uk.

0:23:30 > 0:23:32In a minute, the weather.

0:23:32 > 0:23:35But first a word about one of our Weather Watchers.

0:23:35 > 0:23:39And a name you might recognise: Carla's Garden.

0:23:51 > 0:23:59So tonight, her story, in her own words.

0:23:59 > 0:24:04My photos have been used on local news, national weather, and country

0:24:04 > 0:24:18file.I am Carla's Garden. I am aged 57. I joined Weather Watchers after

0:24:18 > 0:24:22having a kidney transplant, a major operation. That is the hostel where

0:24:22 > 0:24:29I had bite dialysis done. It helped me with what I had to go through.

0:24:29 > 0:24:34Getting out helped me recover and go further and further each day. I can

0:24:34 > 0:24:42remember being stuck in a ward. You are helping other people who cannot

0:24:42 > 0:24:46get out. Showing them what the sky is like, what the weather is like

0:24:46 > 0:24:52that is why it means so much to me. It is very easy to use. Getting

0:24:52 > 0:24:57online is their way to go. It gets the area where I live norm. I feel

0:24:57 > 0:25:03part of it. No two days are at the same. Every force a graph you take

0:25:03 > 0:25:12of the sky is unique. You look through the pictures, it has got

0:25:12 > 0:25:19that editor's pic stab, that feels good. Definitely do it. Your hobby

0:25:19 > 0:25:22will grow into a passion, like

0:25:22 > 0:25:22good. Definitely do it. Your hobby will grow into a passion, like my

0:25:22 > 0:25:29house.Lovely to meet her. Here is the weather. If you want to become a

0:25:29 > 0:25:36Weather Watchers, just go to their website. But we cannot start their

0:25:36 > 0:25:47weather tonight without a photograph from Carla's Garden. There is also

0:25:47 > 0:25:53another Weather Watchers year with a lovely sunset, taken in Bedford.

0:25:53 > 0:25:58Clear skies mean it is quite a chilly night. As we go through the

0:25:58 > 0:26:07night expect chilly temperatures, cold enough for a touch of frost.

0:26:07 > 0:26:11The cloud was across Eastern counties earlier, but now it is

0:26:11 > 0:26:16clear skies. Cold enough for a touch of frost, temperatures close to

0:26:16 > 0:26:21freezing. More clouded by the end of the night, perhaps if you spots of

0:26:21 > 0:26:25light rain. Temperatures are likely to recover, they will be higher by

0:26:25 > 0:26:30the end of the night. It is tied into this weather front which will

0:26:30 > 0:26:34be around for most of the morning. A chilly start to the DA tomorrow.

0:26:34 > 0:26:40Quite a damp start. Outbreaks of light rain or drizzle. Brighter

0:26:40 > 0:26:44skies as the day goes on. There should be sunshine across many parts

0:26:44 > 0:26:51of the region. Still on the chilly side. There should be some pleasant

0:26:51 > 0:26:55autumn sunshine around. Looking ahead, it will turn cold into the

0:26:55 > 0:26:59weekend. This weather system coming in from the north-west will bring

0:26:59 > 0:27:05rain overnight Friday into Saturday, introducing Calder are behind it. By

0:27:05 > 0:27:10the weekend temperatures are likely to be law, chilly days, frosty

0:27:10 > 0:27:15nights. Friday, it largely dry and bright day. Increasingly cloudy.

0:27:15 > 0:27:19Perhaps some sunshine to stack the. Eventually that rain moving through.

0:27:19 > 0:27:25Some of that could be on the heavy side. By Saturday, brighter skies,

0:27:25 > 0:27:30sunshine, but it will be cold. The Guptill 's wind speeds. Moderate

0:27:30 > 0:27:34north-westerly 's, Battle introduce a wind chill factor. Chilly days and

0:27:34 > 0:27:35frosty nights on

0:27:35 > 0:27:38a wind chill factor. Chilly days and frosty nights on the way.

0:27:38 > 0:27:43That is all for now. We will be back same time, same place, tomorrow

0:27:43 > 0:27:48night. Goodbye.
