:00:42. > :00:43.First tonight, the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow

:00:44. > :00:46.Inspectors say some parts are not safe and improvements

:00:47. > :00:53.The Care Quality Commission was scathing in a number of areas.

:00:54. > :00:55.There are not enough beds. Long waits in A

:00:56. > :00:59.Delays in ambulance handovers. And poor leadership.

:01:00. > :01:01.Among the few positives, caring staff and an

:01:02. > :01:09.This from our Health Reporter, Nikki Fox.

:01:10. > :01:13.Joanne's father is 96 and has dementia.

:01:14. > :01:17.He was admitted to the Princess Alexandra in February.

:01:18. > :01:21.She describes the lack of care her father received as frightening.

:01:22. > :01:23.When I say care, I mean things like attention

:01:24. > :01:37.to timing of antibiotics, making sure that there was a

:01:38. > :01:41.We didn't get that with Dad. He rapidly went downhill.

:01:42. > :01:44.This is a hospital that has now been branded unsafe in

:01:45. > :01:46.A, critical and end of life care - and this is why.

:01:47. > :01:49.Levels of nurse staffing in the resuscitation room were unsafe.

:01:50. > :01:58.14 ambulances queued to transfer patients and hospital staff

:01:59. > :02:06.A fills up because frail patients in wards cannot be moved on.

:02:07. > :02:08.Lastly, the mortuary was using a trailer-type unit

:02:09. > :02:11.This was parked outside in a loading bay.

:02:12. > :02:18.The maternity unit was rated outstanding.

:02:19. > :02:21.And one MP thinks the hospital is being sold short.

:02:22. > :02:24.It is incredible, given it is an aged building,

:02:25. > :02:27.spoken about, and emergency calls being highest per head than almost

:02:28. > :02:30.Given the problems with recruitment, it is

:02:31. > :02:32.incredible that the vast majority of residents get an excellent

:02:33. > :02:37.No-one is denying the Chief Executive has a challenge

:02:38. > :02:41.on his hands and he is already under scrutiny by the NHS about

:02:42. > :02:43.allegations surrounding expenses claims while in charge of another

:02:44. > :03:13.Now in special measures, the hospital will get

:03:14. > :03:15.more funding and the inspectors will be watching

:03:16. > :03:35.What will that actually mean? First, it means an improvement directive to

:03:36. > :03:39.the trust to help them address some of the issues. That will be with

:03:40. > :03:47.them for 12 months. It could mean more funding for the hospital. They

:03:48. > :03:51.have already replied for financial support for the training and

:03:52. > :03:55.development of some staff. That is important because a lot of them do

:03:56. > :04:02.need to go to London hospitals, freely get paid more. The need to do

:04:03. > :04:06.more to encourage and develop the staff to Steve. What about the

:04:07. > :04:14.region as a whole. This is not the only hospital in special measures?

:04:15. > :04:19.No, Colchester has been in special measures for three years. That has

:04:20. > :04:24.got a new chief executive, the same man who is running Ipswich Hospital.

:04:25. > :04:30.Just last week, Colchester was one of the best in the country when it

:04:31. > :04:32.comes to waiting times in an accident and emergency, so some

:04:33. > :04:38.progress has been made. Also, Addenbrooke's, it was in special

:04:39. > :04:43.measures last year. Similar issues, measures last year. Similar issues,

:04:44. > :04:46.with staff shortages and an overreliance on agency staff.

:04:47. > :04:49.New figures out this week show house prices in the East of England

:04:50. > :04:51.are rising faster than anywhere else in the country.

:04:52. > :04:54.More than 13% over the last year - an increase of ?32,000

:04:55. > :05:02.as people chose to work in the capital, but live elsewhere.

:05:03. > :05:05.House prices in Basildon, for example, are up by 21%.

:05:06. > :05:10.But the cheapest place to live is Great Yarmouth in Norfolk,

:05:11. > :05:31.where you will pay an average price of ?150,000

:05:32. > :05:33.This is the three bedroomed semi-detached property.

:05:34. > :05:36.Seb started looking a few years ago, but needed

:05:37. > :05:41.Now, ready to buy, he is interested in this three bed semi on the market

:05:42. > :05:44.I have been looking more about three years.

:05:45. > :05:47.I looked at a property just around the corner for ?105,000 and then

:05:48. > :05:55.Stayed at home, stayed in on the odd weekend and I have now got

:05:56. > :05:57.enough money to buy a house, but house prices have gone up

:05:58. > :05:59.considerably so it is tougher than ever.

:06:00. > :06:01.There is more opportunity for mortgages with people.

:06:02. > :06:03.There is a lot more buy-to-let investment

:06:04. > :06:05.going on certainly in the last few years.

:06:06. > :06:08.It is a better place to put your money than in the banks.

:06:09. > :06:10.Sarah Roberts is a trainee chef on minimum wage.

:06:11. > :06:15.She is also a single mum and rents a two bedroom property.

:06:16. > :06:18.She is worried she will never own her own place.

:06:19. > :06:20.I don't think it is feasible with how wages

:06:21. > :06:21.are and how everything is increasing.

:06:22. > :06:26.I want something to hand down to him.

:06:27. > :06:30.As soon as I leave this house I have got nothing to show

:06:31. > :06:42.we get a take on the race hosting paces from Henry Parry. We have seen

:06:43. > :06:49.astonishing rises in the last 12 months. The indeed tale of a painful

:06:50. > :06:55.story for those trying to get onto the property ladder and give those

:06:56. > :07:02.who already possess a home something of a warm goal. How long is this

:07:03. > :07:06.going to last? It is the million-dollar question. There are

:07:07. > :07:12.parts of central London, house prices falling. More importantly,

:07:13. > :07:18.transaction numbers have been decimated not of the referendum, but

:07:19. > :07:23.of changes made to stamp duty. These will inevitably infect our part of

:07:24. > :07:30.the country. You mention the referendum. What effect do you

:07:31. > :07:34.expect that result to have one house prices in the region? I have always

:07:35. > :07:40.maintained that only an idiot will try and predict house prices, but my

:07:41. > :07:48.suggestion and expectation is that house prices will be befall by the

:07:49. > :07:55.likes of 10% in our region in the next 12 months. In the long term, it

:07:56. > :07:57.could be worse than that, but it is very difficult to call. Thank you

:07:58. > :08:01.very much. Two World War I soldiers

:08:02. > :08:04.from an Essex regiment have been finally laid to rest in France,

:08:05. > :08:07.more than 100 years after they died. Until now, nobody knew the graves

:08:08. > :08:09.actually contained the remains While the remains of

:08:10. > :08:12.Privates Harry Carter and William Marmon have been

:08:13. > :08:14.discovered on the battlefield. Alex Dunlop reports from Albert

:08:15. > :08:16.in northern France. The remains of Harry and William

:08:17. > :08:19.fittingly borne by Royal Anglicans, soldiers with strong connections to

:08:20. > :08:22.the old Essex Regiment. Local people came to

:08:23. > :08:25.pay their respects. Leading the mourners,

:08:26. > :08:27.nine family members, who never imagined they would be

:08:28. > :08:30.making the journey from south You just don't realise what that

:08:31. > :08:39.generation went through. And our generation, how easy we've

:08:40. > :08:41.had it in some ways. Both men accorded a burial

:08:42. > :08:50.with full military honours. What makes the story of these

:08:51. > :08:52.21-year-olds Harry and William so remarkable is a wartime

:08:53. > :08:56.clerical error. For a century, it was thought

:08:57. > :09:00.they were buried in this cemetery. In fact, their bodies

:09:01. > :09:02.lay in a battlefield They were discovered

:09:03. > :09:10.by this historian. For three years, Peter Barton

:09:11. > :09:12.and his team mapped the tunnels In November 1915, Harry and William

:09:13. > :09:23.were on sentry duty, when a massive The fall-out killed

:09:24. > :09:33.them and six comrades. Thanks to advances in DNA testing,

:09:34. > :09:36.the MoD were able to trace both men's families,

:09:37. > :09:42.two generations on. The headstones

:09:43. > :09:44.commemorating the deaths of the soldiers stands

:09:45. > :09:46.in the town's cemetery. The bodies of the men,

:09:47. > :09:48.Charles Aldridge, a farler's son, and Harry, a moulder

:09:49. > :09:50.from Luton, are still buried somewhere

:09:51. > :09:56.beneath the craters. It is too difficult

:09:57. > :10:01.and too dangerous to tryy As Harry and William's families take

:10:02. > :10:05.a final tour of the place they died, it is sobering to think up to 40

:10:06. > :10:08.bodies are recovered from the A century on, two more, at least,

:10:09. > :10:18.have been laid to rest. Coming up now, the weather

:10:19. > :10:34.with Alex, but from the rest Good evening. North westerly wind

:10:35. > :10:42.has been bringing in showers from the north-east. These should clean

:10:43. > :10:48.away during the course of the night. Things looking largely dry

:10:49. > :10:52.overnight. The area of low pressure which brought the showers is moving

:10:53. > :10:57.eastwards. It should move away from us. There will be the odd shower

:10:58. > :11:03.still pushing and from the North Sea. Cool A rather

:11:04. > :11:04.outlook, most places dry but we have that cool breeze to
