That's all from the BBC News at Six. | 0:00:00 | 0:00:01 | |
Hello and welcome to Look East. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:05 | |
In the programme tonight -
Tears and Cheers. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:10 | |
DIY SOS and teams of volunteers
transform the life of a man left | 0:00:10 | 0:00:14 | |
disabled after an attack. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:19 | |
The fact that sees essentially got a
life sentence himself, and so his | 0:00:19 | 0:00:28 | |
wife who has become a wife and carer
rather than the daughter that her | 0:00:28 | 0:00:39 | |
father wishes she had. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:40 | |
Hospital appointment letters
appealing for donations - | 0:00:40 | 0:00:41 | |
An MP says it's a form of begging
and it's unacceptable. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:47 | |
I'm | 0:00:48 | 0:00:48 | |
I at the fayre Bury St Edmunds as
security is stepped up. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
And a dramatic 24 hours as Look East
witnesses more than 200 migrants | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
including a newborn baby rescued
in the Mediterranean. | 0:00:58 | 0:00:59 | |
Hello. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:05 | |
The lives of a disabled man
and his family have been transformed | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
thanks to a team of volunteers
in Suffolk and a BBC TV programme. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
Simon Dobbin was left brain damaged
after being attacked by a gang | 0:01:11 | 0:01:16 | |
of hooligans after a football
match in Southend. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:21 | |
For more than two years his wife has
been his fulltime carer | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
but their home in Mildenhall
hasn't been able to | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
accommodate his complex needs. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
This morning though, that changed. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:35 | |
Day ten of the big build and some
last-minute touches. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
More than 100 volunteers
have gutted then | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
transformed the small terraced house
in Mildenhall for Simon Dobbin. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:46 | |
The Cambridge United fan was left
with severe brain injuries | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
after being attacked by football
hooligans in Southend in 2015. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
After leaving hospital,
his bed has been in the dining room, | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
a wet room part of the makeover. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:55 | |
We can't show you the end
result, that must wait | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
until the programme shown next year. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
But presenter Nick Knowles led
the way, as Simon's wife | 0:02:00 | 0:02:06 | |
Nicole and daughter Emily,
eyes firmly shut, had | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
their first glimpse. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:09 | |
This family's plight has been
very widely publicised | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
by yourself and other media. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:12 | |
So I think that the whole of Suffolk
has taken it to the heart | 0:02:12 | 0:02:21 | |
and we have had enormous goodwill,
not least in things like scotch eggs | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
and cakes and things and people
cooking and baking for us. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
So it's very lovely that 100-110
volunteers per day has | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
been well looked after. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:30 | |
Here come the heroes that have
made it all happened. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
Firms have donated materials,
builders, plumbers, | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
electricians and others,
giving the labour free. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:35 | |
I do it all again in a heartbeat. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
The feel on the build
was absolutely fantastic. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:39 | |
I'm privileged to be a part of it. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:44 | |
The amount of people
you get here is unreal. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
What's going on in the world today,
you still get all those | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
good-hearted people, it's great. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:50 | |
Great bunch of lads. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:51 | |
Good camaraderie, and banter
like you never know anywhere else. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
So I'm going to miss them. | 0:02:54 | 0:03:02 | |
Clive Morris, who worked
alongside Simon in the RAF | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
regiment, part of a team
from Hollington and Marham. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
I think it's one of those things
you couldn't have missed, | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
knowing Simon before. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:10 | |
A lot of the younger
lads don't know him | 0:03:10 | 0:03:15 | |
a connection, with the regiment. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:16 | |
So yeah, we just needed
to come up and do it. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
115 people per day has turned up
here to get the house | 0:03:19 | 0:03:24 | |
back for Simon and
make the house work. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
It's pretty amazing
because they haven't turned up | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
with hammers just to smash
a house about. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
They turned up here for a reason. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
They came here with a heart,
they built this house with love. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
After their first viewing
of the new look home, | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
Nicole and Emily emerged
to wild applause. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
The designer of the new abode? | 0:03:39 | 0:03:40 | |
Laurence Llewellyn
Bowen, looking on. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
Everything is perfect,
nothing is going to be changed. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
Good old Laurence? | 0:03:46 | 0:03:47 | |
Good old Lawrence. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:51 | |
You know, he's done a cracker
of a job in there, he's really | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
made us feel very proud. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:56 | |
They've listen to our likes
and dislikes and they've made a home | 0:03:56 | 0:04:01 | |
they've listened to what we wanted
and they've put it into place. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
Simon is in Addenbrooke's Hospital,
recovering from a chest infection. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
But DIY SOS and hundreds of good
people have ensured his home | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
is somewhere he can
live with dignity. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
The family are staying
in another house while | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
the transformation is underway. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:22 | |
Simon's wife Nicole is there now. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
You are quite emotional as he came
out, what was the reveal like? | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
It was amazing. We didn't know what
to expect, it's at a small house | 0:04:30 | 0:04:38 | |
that going in there and looking
around, they've made it look so | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
large and Simon's bedroom is just
like a posh hotel room with ensuite. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:46 | |
It meets his needs, everything is
there that we need. He will be able | 0:04:46 | 0:04:51 | |
to come into the lounge area. He'll
be able to see the whole downstairs | 0:04:51 | 0:04:55 | |
of the house but he wasn't able to
do before. The garden is easy for | 0:04:55 | 0:05:00 | |
him to access and it's just
stunning. How much and Pat did you | 0:05:00 | 0:05:05 | |
have to what they did because you
said they listen to your likes and | 0:05:05 | 0:05:11 | |
dislikes? Not a great deal, we were
telling them what kind of colours we | 0:05:11 | 0:05:15 | |
like and I might. That was basically
it. Laurence Llewellyn Bowen, I | 0:05:15 | 0:05:20 | |
spoke to him last week and he was
taking the Mickey, saying the whole | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
house was blue because blue is not
my favourite colour. Actually what | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
they've done is so stylish. Simon
obviously is in hospital at the | 0:05:27 | 0:05:33 | |
moment, how is he? He's doing well.
He's getting ready for discharge. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:37 | |
His been -- unable to the control
his own secretions. The thing going | 0:05:37 | 0:05:49 | |
into his lungs and be kept out of
hospital for three long but | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
unfortunately, because of the brain
damage, he had to have a tracheotomy | 0:05:52 | 0:05:57 | |
fitted. But I will go in and then he
will be home. I know he understand | 0:05:57 | 0:06:05 | |
exactly what's going on, what will
his reaction be when he sees the | 0:06:05 | 0:06:09 | |
transformation? I think the plan is
to have a few people there when he | 0:06:09 | 0:06:14 | |
does come home. He missed the big
reveal today and the amount of | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
people there was amazing. I think
salmon will get quite tearful, he | 0:06:17 | 0:06:21 | |
will love being centre of attention
that he will also, it not a clinical | 0:06:21 | 0:06:26 | |
room he's going into he will be
overwhelmed but more relaxed in that | 0:06:26 | 0:06:31 | |
room. What difference will it make
to all of your lives? It's going to | 0:06:31 | 0:06:37 | |
make our lives so much easier. We
have the equipment in there that we | 0:06:37 | 0:06:41 | |
didn't have before. We have an
overhead ceiling hoist. Simon has | 0:06:41 | 0:06:46 | |
his wet room. The things we were
doing before, having to get a bowl | 0:06:46 | 0:06:51 | |
of water, we won't have to do this
any more and it will make life a | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
much easier. To have Simon sitting
at the lounge with us. The lounge, | 0:06:54 | 0:06:59 | |
dining and kitchen is always a plant
in a matter where we are in the | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
living area, Simon Bull be with us.
When are you moving in yourself? I'm | 0:07:02 | 0:07:07 | |
going back tomorrow morning.
Fantastic. We wish you all the best | 0:07:07 | 0:07:12 | |
for your move back in. So happy for
you all, thank you, Nicole. Thank | 0:07:12 | 0:07:17 | |
you very much. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:19 | |
The Norfolk and Norwich University
Hospital has been criticised | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
for including an appeal
for charitable donations | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
on its appointment letters. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:25 | |
The N and N is the only
hospital in Norfolk, | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
Suffolk and Essex to appeal
for money in this way. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
Patients are being asked
to donate to 'provide | 0:07:30 | 0:07:32 | |
the highest quality service'. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:34 | |
This is Belinda with an appointment
letter from the Norfolk | 0:07:34 | 0:07:37 | |
and Norwich University Hospital. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:44 | |
When she received it recently,
Belinda was surprised to see | 0:07:44 | 0:07:47 | |
a paragraph asking her to make
a donation to the | 0:07:47 | 0:07:49 | |
hospital's charity. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:52 | |
The appeal says, with
restrictions on public funding, | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
voluntary donations can make
a difference in supporting... | 0:07:54 | 0:07:56 | |
I appreciate the NHS is short
of funds and I know that they do get | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
a lot of money from fundraising,
often when people have | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
had the treatment. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
But I think to actually get a letter
saying that they are short of money | 0:08:11 | 0:08:15 | |
and for high-quality treatment,
could you consider making a donation | 0:08:15 | 0:08:18 | |
when you haven't even been
to the hospital yet, I think is just | 0:08:18 | 0:08:21 | |
totally inappropriate. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
The hospital has a JustGiving page
and people have long donated | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |
money to its charity. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
Last year, the charity raised over
£1 million but the appeal for funds | 0:08:29 | 0:08:33 | |
on every outpatient letter
is raising eyebrows. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
I think many people be asking
themselves this question. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
Today, we are putting
at the bottom of patient letters, | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
a begging bowl, in effect,
asking for charitable | 0:08:41 | 0:08:44 | |
funds for basic hospital
equipment and services. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:50 | |
Today, it is an ask but tomorrow,
I think some people may | 0:08:50 | 0:08:53 | |
think it can be a demand. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:55 | |
It is a slippery slope
that we are heading towards. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:57 | |
So I think a lot of people will be
worried about this. | 0:08:57 | 0:09:00 | |
What to the public
think of this idea? | 0:09:00 | 0:09:04 | |
We did an unscientific straw poll
in Norwich city centre. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
I don't think that should be
on an official letter. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:09 | |
Why? The health service is funded
through taxation. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:14 | |
We shouldn't have to rely
on donations for our health service. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:18 | |
Is it a sign of desperation? It's
desperate times. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:24 | |
The government isn't
going to provide that money then | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
I suppose there's got to get
it from somewhere. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:28 | |
The hospital has turned
down our request for an interview | 0:09:28 | 0:09:30 | |
but in a statement, a spokesperson
told us, "Donations | 0:09:30 | 0:09:33 | |
to the charity make a difference
and we are incredibly grateful | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
for the support we receive." | 0:09:35 | 0:09:39 | |
Administrators who are running one
of the region's biggest furniture | 0:09:39 | 0:09:43 | |
firms say they're hopeful
of finding a buyer. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:49 | |
Multiyork collapsed last night,
putting hundreds of jobs at risk. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:54 | |
The group's 50 stores are remaining
open for the time being. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:58 | |
Multiyork headquarters
today, the Thetford-based | 0:09:58 | 0:09:59 | |
company continues to trade
but with a workforce | 0:09:59 | 0:10:01 | |
fearing the worst. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:06 | |
About 300 people work here,
most assembling furniture. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:08 | |
But for how much longer? | 0:10:08 | 0:10:09 | |
The administrators attributed
company's collapse to weak | 0:10:09 | 0:10:11 | |
consumer confidence,
and a fall in the value | 0:10:11 | 0:10:13 | |
of the pound. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:14 | |
That has pushed up the cost of
Multiyork's imported raw materials. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:18 | |
The company has 50 stores nationwide
including this one in Norwich. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:24 | |
It has proved difficult to pass
on price rises with so much | 0:10:24 | 0:10:26 | |
competition on the high Street. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:29 | |
What do shoppers make
of Multiyork's demise? | 0:10:29 | 0:10:33 | |
Seems quite sad, over the years
that's been a big company. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:37 | |
I believe it was opened one day
and I was at Thetford | 0:10:37 | 0:10:41 | |
with the factory and such but it
seems quite sad, yeah. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:44 | |
That's just another thing
of the high street going. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:46 | |
Disappointing really,
because look at the places | 0:10:46 | 0:10:47 | |
that are closing down. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
But some furniture firms
are working flat out. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:58 | |
Warings, near Attleborough,
supplies large chains such | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
as Costa and Center Parcs. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:01 | |
So it's not exposed
to the high street. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:05 | |
We are always looking
for upholsterers so the office | 0:11:05 | 0:11:10 | |
stuff, there's plenty
of opportunity here, and we are | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
continually recruiting,
we could probably add another 20 | 0:11:13 | 0:11:14 | |
plus people to the workforce
straightaway and maybe a bit more. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:17 | |
Back in Thetford, Multiyork is one
of the mainstays of the economy. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:21 | |
The town depends on manufacturing
and last year, another big employer, | 0:11:21 | 0:11:27 | |
Baxter Healthcare, was saved
from closure by a £2 million | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
grant from a public body. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
Just lately, there has been a spate
of worrying announcements | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
about major employers in Norfolk. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
The Coleman's and Britvic factories
in Norwich face possible closure. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:44 | |
The construction industry
training board may move away | 0:11:44 | 0:11:45 | |
from its base in West Norfolk. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:49 | |
Now Multiyork could close unless
the administrators can save it. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:53 | |
Richard is here. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:55 | |
So what are the chances
of a deal to save jobs? | 0:11:55 | 0:12:00 | |
The administrators say they are
really hopeful of finding a buyer | 0:12:00 | 0:12:04 | |
given the reputation for quality
that Multiyork has. They also | 0:12:04 | 0:12:08 | |
believe that the highly skilled
workforce at the factory which is | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
right beside the M11 in Thetford is
also an asset that will attract | 0:12:11 | 0:12:16 | |
buyers. They cannot do it until
Christmas at the earlier. What about | 0:12:16 | 0:12:24 | |
people that have ordered furniture?
They have an looking at orders | 0:12:24 | 0:12:33 | |
placed up until yesterday. They say
they will all be honoured and | 0:12:33 | 0:12:37 | |
customers will be contacted with
further updates. Customers going | 0:12:37 | 0:12:39 | |
into the shops from now on can
basically buy furniture off the | 0:12:39 | 0:12:45 | |
shelf. Furniture that is in the
shop. But they can't it apparently, | 0:12:45 | 0:12:49 | |
is ordered furniture to be made to
order. And also no finance options | 0:12:49 | 0:12:55 | |
are available, now. Richard, thank
you very much. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
A grandfather- accused
of killing his stepson | 0:12:57 | 0:13:01 | |
almost fifty years ago
has admitted shaking | 0:13:01 | 0:13:05 | |
the toddler on the night he died. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:10 | |
David Dearlove - | 0:13:10 | 0:13:11 | |
who's 71 - and from Great Yarmouth - | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
told the court it was
'playfully' done. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:15 | |
He's accused of murdering 19 month
old Paul Booth when he lived | 0:13:15 | 0:13:18 | |
in the North East in 1968. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:19 | |
He denies murder and says
Paul fell out of bed. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:21 | |
A driver arrested in connection
with a fatal crash in Suffolk has | 0:13:21 | 0:13:24 | |
been released pending
further enquiries. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:25 | |
A 23 year old man died | 0:13:26 | 0:13:27 | |
in Addenbrooke's after the car
he was travelling in hit a wall | 0:13:27 | 0:13:30 | |
in Long Melford early
yesterday morning. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:31 | |
A man from Ipswich was arrested
on suspicion of drug driving and | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
causing death by dangerous driving. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:36 | |
Still to come on the programme
tonight - Alex will be | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
here with news of a chilly weekend. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
And we are live at the Bury
Christmas Fayre where armed police | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
are on patrol after a year
overshadowed by terrorist | 0:13:50 | 0:13:52 | |
attacks at public events. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:55 | |
This week we've been telling
the story of Paul Chamberlain. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:04 | |
He's from Norfolk | 0:14:04 | 0:14:05 | |
but spends his time
in charge of a boat called | 0:14:05 | 0:14:07 | |
Mission Lifeline helping
migrants who are in danger | 0:14:07 | 0:14:09 | |
off the coast of Libya. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:10 | |
He and his team have had
a dramatic 24 hours. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
Yesterday we showed you how
they rescued 43 men, women | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
and children from a leaky boat. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:17 | |
Now they've picked up
a total of 262 people, | 0:14:17 | 0:14:19 | |
including a baby born at sea. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:21 | |
Our cameraman Shaun Whitmore
and reporter Debbie Tubby | 0:14:21 | 0:14:26 | |
are travelling with the rescue crew. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:36 | |
33 degrees, 25, 012082,
that's what we've got isn't it? | 0:14:39 | 0:14:41 | |
Another group of migrants,
this time identified from the air, | 0:14:41 | 0:14:43 | |
spotted on a flimsy boat. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:45 | |
On the so-called deadliest
migration route in the world. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:49 | |
The good weather and calm seas has
encouraged them to risk their lives | 0:14:49 | 0:14:52 | |
before the winter storms set in. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:54 | |
Take our time, no rush. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:56 | |
Let's make sure we count people on. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
Let's make sure we count people on. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:08 | |
Paul briefs his crew
on the latest situation. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
It's a simple humanitarian act
and now to die at sea, really. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
For me, it's as simple as that. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:14 | |
This is the second
rescue in as many days. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:16 | |
This time, we think there
are about 80 people on board, | 0:15:16 | 0:15:20 | |
we're not sure at this
stage if it is wooden | 0:15:20 | 0:15:23 | |
boat or an inflatable. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:24 | |
There are in fact 95 on board. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:25 | |
They've been unable to move
from here for nine hours. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:28 | |
Tensions are running high. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:31 | |
Many of these are
from Ghana and Libya. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:36 | |
Fleeing persecution and civil war,
looking for a better life. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:40 | |
My baby, my mama. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
Silent, the baby is crying. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:46 | |
They can only be rescued
if the Italian maritime rescue | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
coordination centre gives
permission to do so. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:54 | |
We've just been informed by MRCC
in Rome there was another boat that | 0:15:54 | 0:16:04 | |
and we are making speed,
to save time when we get | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
there, we've kept our | 0:16:10 | 0:16:11 | |
rescue boat in the water. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:13 | |
This time, they are from Gambia,
Nigeria and Morocco. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
They welcome the helping hand
and the friendly faces. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:17 | |
For one man, it is just too much. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:19 | |
He falls unconscious. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:20 | |
Sean, my cameraman,
puts his camera down, | 0:16:20 | 0:16:21 | |
he helps to bring him round. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:23 | |
Good work, Sean, good work. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
Many have travelled hundreds
of miles to be here. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:30 | |
They suffer from a lot of pain
so the man usually suffers | 0:16:30 | 0:16:34 | |
from malnutrition so they all have
abdominal pain and because they | 0:16:34 | 0:16:38 | |
haven't eaten for a long time,
they haven't had a shower for a long | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
time, so they have infections. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:42 | |
I'm from Gambia. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:48 | |
And you've been travelling
for three years? | 0:16:48 | 0:16:49 | |
Yeah. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:50 | |
I want to work in this place. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:54 | |
And the suffering in my
country is too much. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:56 | |
Are you hoping for a better life? | 0:16:56 | 0:16:58 | |
Yeah. | 0:16:58 | 0:16:59 | |
I need to have a better life. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
There are many children on board. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:03 | |
This baby boy, literally
born overnight on one | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
of the inflatable boats. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
Oblivious to the world
he would have had at home | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
or the one that he now faces. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:13 | |
The boats are destroyed,
slashed or set on fire to stop | 0:17:13 | 0:17:20 | |
the people smugglers
from everusing them again. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:25 | |
The ship is almost at
full capacity, the crew | 0:17:25 | 0:17:27 | |
working night and day. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:29 | |
262 migrants safe, for now,
believing Europe opened | 0:17:29 | 0:17:31 | |
them a better life. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:35 | |
We hope to have more
from Debbie tomorrow. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:42 | |
Armed Police are on patrol
at the Christmas Fayre in | 0:17:42 | 0:17:45 | |
Bury St Edmunds for the first time. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:49 | |
Organisers say it's not in response
to a specific threat | 0:17:49 | 0:17:52 | |
but it follows a year
overshadowed by terrorist | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 | |
attacks at public events. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:58 | |
Bury Fayre attracts more
than 100,000 people | 0:17:58 | 0:18:00 | |
and was named the best
in the country in an | 0:18:00 | 0:18:02 | |
online poll last year. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:03 | |
Alex Dunlop is there now. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:09 | |
In the last 14 years, this Christmas
Fayre has grown from 30 stalls to | 0:18:09 | 0:18:16 | |
more than 300, it really is that
popular. But with that comes huge | 0:18:16 | 0:18:20 | |
crowd as you can see. In a very
densely packed area, which does make | 0:18:20 | 0:18:25 | |
it a potential target and so the
decision to step up security in a | 0:18:25 | 0:18:29 | |
very physical way. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:33 | |
The front line against terrorism
in the heart of Suffolk. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:35 | |
A ring of steel and
concrete installed around | 0:18:35 | 0:18:37 | |
the centre of Bury St Edmunds
to stop anyone using a vehicle as a | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
weapon. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
Great shame. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:45 | |
Particularly in a lovely
market town that we live. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:47 | |
To see these precautions
that the authorities had to take. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:50 | |
Just before 2pm, a final
security briefing. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:53 | |
And then the barriers
are closed around Angel Hill. | 0:18:53 | 0:19:00 | |
As one of the country's biggest
Christmas Fayres gets underway. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
For the next three days,
colour and carnival take over | 0:19:03 | 0:19:05 | |
the town, attracting more
than 100,000 visitors. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:07 | |
And for the first time, this. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:17 | |
Suffolk Police patrol openly
with guns and sidearm. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:21 | |
Out of sight, undercover officers
mingle with the crowd. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:26 | |
Among the 300 market stalls, Dennis
and Theresa from Hertfordshire. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:29 | |
We do over 100 shows a year up
and down the country. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:32 | |
Definitely this year,
there has been a higher | 0:19:32 | 0:19:33 | |
presence of security
since all the terror alerts, really. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:36 | |
Armed police? | 0:19:36 | 0:19:37 | |
Definitely, armed police. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:38 | |
Behind-the-scenes, Martin heads up
the team that monitors everything. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:42 | |
We've got the hostile vehicle
mitigation that's going on in three | 0:19:42 | 0:19:44 | |
locations to protect the higher
crowd density areas. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:46 | |
How's the operation shaping up? | 0:19:47 | 0:19:48 | |
It's early yet, we've built
everything, everything | 0:19:48 | 0:19:49 | |
is up and running. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:50 | |
Everything is operational. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:54 | |
Last year, a lorry smashed into a
crowded market place in Berlin | 0:19:54 | 0:19:59 | |
killing 12 and injuring 50 more. The
threat is even closer to haul | 0:19:59 | 0:20:04 | |
killing a good home, | 0:20:04 | 0:20:05 | |
-- from this pop concert, it is
becoming more normal. We are taking | 0:20:09 | 0:20:16 | |
even more trouble than normal to
make sure people feel so to enjoy | 0:20:16 | 0:20:22 | |
the Christmas Fayre. As the
traditional lantern parade gets | 0:20:22 | 0:20:26 | |
away, visitors except heightened
security is set to stay. We saw | 0:20:26 | 0:20:31 | |
police as he went out, but it makes
you feel more secure. We know it's | 0:20:31 | 0:20:35 | |
our safety so it's good. Its
hometown, still got to come out, you | 0:20:35 | 0:20:40 | |
can't let anybody get away with what
they are getting away with. A few | 0:20:40 | 0:20:45 | |
minutes ago, I had a chat with the
local police chief inspector who | 0:20:45 | 0:20:51 | |
assured me that Bury St Edmunds is
not a specific | 0:20:51 | 0:20:55 | |
target for terrorists but with the
international thread at severe, the | 0:20:55 | 0:21:00 | |
second-highest level, they say they
cannot afford to take chances. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:04 | |
Certainly the message tonight is
that Bury St Edmunds is a safe town | 0:21:04 | 0:21:07 | |
in a safe county and as you can see,
anyone and everyone is welcome to | 0:21:07 | 0:21:13 | |
visit this really spectacular
Christmas Fayre. Alex, thank you. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:19 | |
When Jared Carpenter joined
City College Norwich five years ago | 0:21:21 | 0:21:23 | |
he was so anxious he couldn't go
into classrooms or walk | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
around on his own. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:27 | |
The college helped him
through Phoenix Purple, | 0:21:27 | 0:21:29 | |
its specialist centre
for people with autism. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:31 | |
And he flourished. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:32 | |
He's currently doing his Masters
in Mathematics at the University | 0:21:32 | 0:21:34 | |
of East Anglia and has been chosen
as a finalist in the National | 0:21:34 | 0:21:38 | |
Student of the Year Awards. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:39 | |
This afternoon Jared
came into the studio | 0:21:39 | 0:21:41 | |
with one of his teachers,
Gemma Burton. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:43 | |
I asked him how he felt
about getting this recognition. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:49 | |
Gobsmacked. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:51 | |
Totally, utterly gobsmacked. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:52 | |
I was speechless when I first heard. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:56 | |
Let's see your certificate,
hold that up to the camera so we can | 0:21:56 | 0:21:59 | |
see. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:08 | |
You've achieved so much
at City College. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:09 | |
What difference has it made,
how they helped you? | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
It's changed my life, really. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:13 | |
Not just academic of
course, emotionally. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:14 | |
Before I attended there, I couldn't
really do anything on my own. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
I was stuck at home a lot
of the time, I didn't interact | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
with many people so when I first
arrived at the college, | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
I was only in one day a week and had
to be constantly supervised. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:26 | |
By members of staff. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:28 | |
I was too frightened even walk
to the classroom down the hall. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
I can now navigate a whole
university by myself. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
Fantastic. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:34 | |
And Gemma, you are part
of the course that help | 0:22:34 | 0:22:37 | |
these young people. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:38 | |
What do you do to make
that difference, that | 0:22:38 | 0:22:41 | |
you have made to Jared? | 0:22:41 | 0:22:42 | |
It's very much about giving young
people a fresh start for education. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:47 | |
A lot of the students who come to us
have had a very negative | 0:22:47 | 0:22:54 | |
experiences at school,
they've struggled to | 0:22:54 | 0:22:56 | |
communicate, deal with the social
interaction and some of them | 0:22:56 | 0:22:59 | |
have been quite bullied. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:00 | |
So when they come to us,
it's very much about creating | 0:23:00 | 0:23:02 | |
an environment which is nurturing,
so we do things like developing | 0:23:02 | 0:23:05 | |
independence skills,
we do things link to understanding | 0:23:05 | 0:23:07 | |
autism, actually where
you are coming from, and celebrating | 0:23:07 | 0:23:10 | |
it and being comfortable
with that fact. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:16 | |
When you see a success
story like Jared, how | 0:23:16 | 0:23:18 | |
does that make you feel? | 0:23:18 | 0:23:19 | |
It's highly rewarding. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:20 | |
We have lots of students who come
through our particular course. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:24 | |
It's really great to see how far
someone can travel from day one, | 0:23:24 | 0:23:27 | |
when we were escorting students
to get lunch and even | 0:23:27 | 0:23:31 | |
entering the building,
right through to several years down | 0:23:31 | 0:23:35 | |
the line, going on to university
and studies and things | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
they want to do in the future. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:41 | |
And Jared, you found that you have
a particular ability for maths? | 0:23:41 | 0:23:49 | |
Was that something that you knew
before you went to City College? | 0:23:49 | 0:23:52 | |
No, really. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:55 | |
I found that and developed it. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:59 | |
As Gemma said, the timetable was
based on what you want so I wanted | 0:23:59 | 0:24:03 | |
to do a couple of GCSEs,
so English and Maths, | 0:24:03 | 0:24:06 | |
but while doing it I found
I loved it. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:09 | |
Thanks to my teachers I was able
to get onto a full-time A-level | 0:24:09 | 0:24:13 | |
programme and I could not have done
that straight from my | 0:24:13 | 0:24:16 | |
last specialist school. | 0:24:16 | 0:24:17 | |
And now you're doing
a Masters in maths at | 0:24:17 | 0:24:19 | |
the University of East Anglia. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:20 | |
I might quite like it though. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:21 | |
You must be very good at it as well! | 0:24:21 | 0:24:30 | |
I love spending time with academics
and you get to have these wonderful | 0:24:30 | 0:24:33 | |
conversations about maths,
and uncapped level, you must say. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:35 | |
I want to see which area of maths
really takes my fancy so it could be | 0:24:35 | 0:24:42 | |
scientific, I've always been
interested in whether, | 0:24:42 | 0:24:43 | |
that kind of thing. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:44 | |
I've also always been
interested in financial stuff. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
So maths could take
you anywhere, really. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:48 | |
I'll go anywhere they will take me. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:54 | |
Well, huge congratulations,
what a fantastic award to get. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:56 | |
And thank you both so much
for coming on the programme. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:58 | |
Thank you for having us. | 0:24:58 | 0:24:59 | |
Thank you. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:03 | |
Jared needs to come in and talk to
you. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:06 | |
Jared needs to come in and talk to
you. We are now starting to swap | 0:25:06 | 0:25:09 | |
mild and windy weather for colder
conditions and it will continue into | 0:25:09 | 0:25:13 | |
the weekend. But at the pressure
pattern, you can see we've got this | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
weather front of the scene. That
will bring some outbreaks of rain | 0:25:16 | 0:25:20 | |
tonight. We are starting to bring a
cold northerly wind in and you can | 0:25:20 | 0:25:24 | |
see from the chart, all this cold
air mass waiting to push down from | 0:25:24 | 0:25:30 | |
the north, that mild air squeezed
out the way. By the tomorrow, it | 0:25:30 | 0:25:34 | |
will be blue by the cold air
establishing itself across the | 0:25:34 | 0:25:38 | |
country. -- this part of the
country. Fantastic photographs today | 0:25:38 | 0:25:43 | |
because there was lots of fine
weather and windy. A good photograph | 0:25:43 | 0:25:48 | |
with the leaf on the lens. The blogs
are go and sunshine, clear sky to | 0:25:48 | 0:25:52 | |
start this evening but as we go
through the evening and night, more | 0:25:52 | 0:25:55 | |
cloud from the south and the weather
front will bring some outbreaks of | 0:25:55 | 0:25:58 | |
rain. Not for everyone, some parts
will stay dry, parts of North | 0:25:58 | 0:26:04 | |
Norfolk and Cambridgeshire, and
parts of Suffolk and Essex will see | 0:26:04 | 0:26:09 | |
some of this rain. It will clear
quite swiftly. It will be quite a | 0:26:09 | 0:26:13 | |
chilly night though so colder than
last night, three or four Celsius | 0:26:13 | 0:26:19 | |
potentially, coldest temperatures
across the region tonight. Into | 0:26:19 | 0:26:23 | |
tomorrow, we have largely high
pressure dominating, that | 0:26:23 | 0:26:27 | |
north-westerly wind establishing
itself in a cold fail to things, | 0:26:27 | 0:26:31 | |
reasonably light winds that they
will freshen by the weekend. Long | 0:26:31 | 0:26:35 | |
spells of sunshine but there could
be some showers. These are more | 0:26:35 | 0:26:39 | |
likely to affect southern parts of
the region that they could be a | 0:26:39 | 0:26:42 | |
little bit further north sake you
might get a shower but also sunshine | 0:26:42 | 0:26:45 | |
around. It will fill quite chilly,
6-8dC are expected high. On the | 0:26:45 | 0:26:53 | |
afternoon, they will fade away so it
looks like it will stay dry to end | 0:26:53 | 0:26:56 | |
the day then a sharp frost follows.
Tomorrow night, many parts of the | 0:26:56 | 0:27:01 | |
region below freezing. A sharp frost
for Saturday morning. The pressure | 0:27:01 | 0:27:05 | |
pattern is bringing high-pressure
income and low pressure in the North | 0:27:05 | 0:27:07 | |
grating is squeezed on the ice
above, the north-westerly wind will | 0:27:07 | 0:27:11 | |
make things really feel quite cold.
During the weekend. There will be | 0:27:11 | 0:27:16 | |
some swells of sunshine for our part
of the country, a chilly wind and | 0:27:16 | 0:27:21 | |
some frosty nights back. The outlook
is looking a little bit like this. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:26 | |
5-7dC are expected high over the
weekend, factor in that | 0:27:26 | 0:27:30 | |
north-westerly wind, feeling colder
and it looks like it might start to | 0:27:30 | 0:27:33 | |
get a little milder | 0:27:33 | 0:27:33 | |
and it looks like it might start to
get a little milder to start next | 0:27:33 | 0:27:34 | |
week again. I love that picture of
the falling leaves, it was | 0:27:34 | 0:27:38 | |
beautiful. That's all from us. Have
a good evening, goodbye. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:43 |
