:00:23. > :00:43.That's how a leading specialist has described the rise in Type two
:00:44. > :00:45.It is caused mainly by lifestyle, things like bad diet
:00:46. > :00:49.In Norfolk, the number of sufferers is rocketing.
:00:50. > :00:51.20 years ago, around 17,000 people had the condition.

:01:47. > :01:48.are really overweight, and especially the children.
:01:49. > :01:50.I think they need to get a checkup and they

:02:58. > :02:59.people in Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex who are at risk
:03:00. > :03:09.I asked him where it's most prevalent.
:03:10. > :03:12.If you look at the map of the East of England in Norfolk and
:03:13. > :03:14.Suffolk and Essex the prevalence of diabetes maps beautifully against
:03:15. > :03:18.In the obesity is much more common in areas

:03:22. > :03:27.deprivation and obesity and high risk of type two diabetes.
:03:28. > :03:32.You have screened 13,000 people across
:03:33. > :03:34.Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex as part of your research.
:03:35. > :03:37.I know you are in the middle of it, but what have you
:03:38. > :03:44.We have been surprised that the prevalence of these
:03:45. > :03:47.prediabetes categories, so that means as well as
:03:48. > :03:48.there being 70,000 people with diabetes
:03:49. > :03:56.same number of people or more in there will be the same number or
:03:57. > :04:00.more with prediabetes, the very earliest stages, raised glucose,
:04:01. > :04:03.before you get diabetes, so big numbers.
:04:04. > :04:06.So now you have identified some pretty high risk people in our

:04:10. > :04:18.We're looking at different ways of diabetes prevention, one of which is
:04:19. > :04:22.where we actually trained people who have diabetes

:04:24. > :04:29.You can always give advice, but whether or
:04:30. > :04:33.not people take it on board, I mean that is the only thing that is going
:04:34. > :04:40.People find it hard to change and one of the
:04:41. > :04:45.real benefits of our programme, of the National programme,
:04:46. > :04:49.is that it is quite intense so it is not a
:04:50. > :04:51.short-term you shouldn't do this shouldn't do that, we contact people
:04:52. > :04:57.very frequently every 2-3 months for 3-4 years.
:04:58. > :05:00.If those numbers, if that projection you told me about, those
:05:01. > :05:03.huge amount of numbers are not controlled, what do you think would
:05:04. > :05:10.I'm very concerned that we might reach a
:05:11. > :05:14.tipping point in five or ten years' time where the system would be able

:05:46. > :05:51.Morgan is applying for music colleges but without
:05:52. > :05:58.-- this piece could almost be a lament for a long forgotten Internet
:05:59. > :06:03.connection. It means I can't get the University
:06:04. > :06:06.prospectus up and it is making e-mail is hard to access,
:06:07. > :06:09.I have had to go to the school to check my e-mail
:06:10. > :06:11.on various occasions. The family moved into this new built
:06:12. > :06:15.house in Newport not far from Stansted back in March,
:06:16. > :06:17.and are still settling in and still waiting for a telephone
:06:18. > :06:22.line and broadband. Ducks for a new cable needs to be
:06:23. > :06:26.put in across the road at the bottom of the drive but the Burroughs say
:06:27. > :06:32.it should have happened by now. Every weekend we are hoping somebody
:06:33. > :06:35.comes out, we have had numerous failed visits, I think we're
:06:36. > :06:44.probably about the 11th now, so we are hoping each weekend
:06:45. > :06:47.that there will be someone at the end of the drive digging up
:06:48. > :06:50.the road and putting the ducting It is definitely needed and to be
:06:51. > :07:00.without it for eight months now, it can be a bit harder times
:07:01. > :07:02.for everyone in the household. Because the Burroughs lived opposite
:07:03. > :07:05.to what appears to be a telephone exchange,
:07:06. > :07:07.Morgan hopes he will soon be playing something more upbeat to celebrate
:07:08. > :07:18.getting back online. Are gave reporters with me. What
:07:19. > :07:23.have open Reach had to say? They say they have been working with the
:07:24. > :07:26.highways authorities to get the permissions they need. They say it
:07:27. > :07:29.has taken to long and have apologised. We have heard a lot
:07:30. > :07:32.about the roll-out of superfast broadband, how's it going in this
:07:33. > :07:35.region? The latest figures show that in
:07:36. > :07:41.terms of the number of homes covered things have approved, over the last
:07:42. > :07:46.three years in Norfolk coverage has jumped from 45% to just over 85%, an
:07:47. > :07:51.additional 190,000 homes and businesses in Suffolk, coverage has
:07:52. > :07:59.risen to 86% in Essex won better at 87%. You do pay considerably more to
:08:00. > :08:02.get a superfast broadband package. Broadband is regarded as a key
:08:03. > :08:06.service like electricity gas and water and people are quick to
:08:07. > :08:07.complain if they are not getting the service they think they deserve or
:08:08. > :08:10.getting very per customer service. Sir David Attenborough says
:08:11. > :08:13.a campaign to create a giant nature reserve would "rescue a precious
:08:14. > :08:15.corner of East Anglia". The Suffolk Wildlife Trust wants
:08:16. > :08:17.to create a thousand acre reserve in the Broads National Park,

:08:28. > :08:36.a reserve that could now almost double in size.
:08:37. > :08:38.This nature reserve is literally It is a great opportunity for people
:08:39. > :08:47.just to access nature. This is all about scale,
:08:48. > :08:49.at the moment this reserve They hope in future to incorporate
:08:50. > :08:57.all the land behind me Nature conservation
:08:58. > :09:05.on a landscape scale. 1000 acres, it would become
:09:06. > :09:07.a national nature reserve, within the Broads National Park,
:09:08. > :09:12.supporting hundreds It is scarily exciting,
:09:13. > :09:15.the opportunity for the land purchase means that it creates
:09:16. > :09:19.a dinner any opportunity for things like the fen raft spider to move out

:09:27. > :09:32.good-quality tax systems. The plan has the backing
:09:33. > :09:35.of Sir David Attenborough. The Trust needs to raise ?1 million
:09:36. > :09:37.to secure around ?4 million They have two years
:09:38. > :09:49.to raise the money. If they succeed it will be
:09:50. > :09:51.the biggest purchase in the Wildlife Trust's history,

:10:08. > :10:13.city have been knocked out of the League Cup by Leeds United after a
:10:14. > :10:14.3-2 defeat in a penalty shoot out. That's all from me, coming up as the
:10:15. > :10:22.weather. Clear skies have led to some mist
:10:23. > :10:25.and fog patches forming across the region and they will continue to
:10:26. > :10:30.become more extensive as they go through the night. Dense fog patches
:10:31. > :10:33.and places in temperatures down to around seven or 8 degrees.
:10:34. > :10:37.Tomorrow's weather forecast, it may be a bit this the end for the first
:10:38. > :10:41.thing but we have some high-pressure bringing a settled forecast for the
:10:42. > :10:45.week. The westerly wind and mild wind direction but that mist and fog
:10:46. > :10:48.could be thought to shift through the morning, remaining quite murky
:10:49. > :10:52.and overcast but hopefully brightening up with some sunshine is
:10:53. > :10:55.you go through the day, temperatures around 15 degrees with a light -

:11:01. > :11:05.settled and on the mild side. Nick now has all the national weather.
:11:06. > :11:12.Hello. Autumn is the season of change, most noticeably with those
:11:13. > :11:15.autumn colours on display today in Buckinghamshire, as photographed by
:11:16. > :11:18.one of our weather watchers. Always helps when there is blue sky above.
:11:19. > :11:21.Our weather is always changing regardless of the season. One of
:11:22. > :11:25.those changes is taking place, we are losing last week's Easterly
:11:26. > :11:30.winds and now a westerly wind. That means it's turning milder by day and
:11:31. > :11:34.night but it does mean the return of Atlantic weather fronts, especially
:11:35. > :11:39.to north-western parts of the UK. The reason, high pressure in Germany
:11:40. > :11:42.and low pressure Iceland. Here is the first of those weather fronts
:11:43. > :11:46.for Scotland and Northern Ireland through the night, the first part of
:11:47. > :11:47.tomorrow. There isn't a huge amount of rain associated with this. Could
