:00:16. > :00:26.And it is going to get colder, all the details in your forecast for the
:00:27. > :00:30.week ahead. Steve Wright, the killer
:00:31. > :00:35.who is serving life in jail for the Suffolk murders,
:00:36. > :00:38.was today urged by his fathdr to say sorry
:00:39. > :00:42.and to finally admit his guilt. Conrad Wright made his plea
:00:43. > :00:45.to Look East exactly ten years after the first young woman,
:00:46. > :00:49.Tania Nicol, went missing. Over the next six weeks,
:00:50. > :00:52.four more women disappeared. All five were drug addicts,
:00:53. > :00:56.all five were prostitutes, and all five were murdered
:00:57. > :00:59.by Steve Wright, who dumped But since then, street prostitution
:01:00. > :01:06.in the town has all but disappeared. Ten years ago, Steve Wright's
:01:07. > :01:11.killing spree made him Throughout his six-week tri`l,
:01:12. > :01:16.he maintained his innocence, his motives for murdering five
:01:17. > :01:20.women never revealed. But now, his father,
:01:21. > :01:23.Conrad, believes it is time He could say
:01:24. > :01:30.he's sorry and admit it. There is a little "if"
:01:31. > :01:44.there all the time. Conrad Wright last
:01:45. > :01:47.saw his son in court. He tried to visit him
:01:48. > :01:49.in prison, but Steve Wright Well, I think I'd probably only go
:01:50. > :01:57.there if he wanted me to go. But I don't think, if I could get
:01:58. > :02:03.face-to-face with him, Tania Nichol was last seen
:02:04. > :02:12.on October 30, 2006. She was 19 years old and worked
:02:13. > :02:16.as a street prostitute in Ipswich. Her body was found
:02:17. > :02:20.three weeks later. Inside this private ambulance,
:02:21. > :02:22.the body of a woman discovered late More than 300 officers from 40
:02:23. > :02:28.different forces were called in And in just over six weeks,
:02:29. > :02:34.Suffolk Police got their man. It was an immensely challenging
:02:35. > :02:37.investigation. But I think the thing that I take
:02:38. > :02:41.away from it was how we got With Tania Nicol's disappearance,
:02:42. > :02:46.we recognised that she was A detective chief inspector
:02:47. > :02:52.was assigned to look after that investigation,
:02:53. > :02:54.we utilised what was a major investigation team to conduct
:02:55. > :02:58.that investigation. It was a craving for drugs
:02:59. > :03:00.that drove the five women Since then, huge strides have
:03:01. > :03:05.been made in Ipswich Vulnerable sex workers have been
:03:06. > :03:11.taken off the street. And for Conrad Wright,
:03:12. > :03:16.there is the hope that he and others might find some peace
:03:17. > :03:20.in a confession from Steve Wright. At the time, Brian Tobin was working
:03:21. > :03:27.with the young women, As Chief Executive
:03:28. > :03:32.of the Iceni Project, he led a team which sought to gain
:03:33. > :03:35.the women's trust, offer help with housing and tackle
:03:36. > :03:38.their drug addiction. As we know, the area known
:03:39. > :03:47.as the red light district is now very pleasant and a clean
:03:48. > :03:50.and tidy and safe place But that doesn't mean
:03:51. > :03:57.there is no prostitution. There is very little
:03:58. > :04:00.street prostitution. There's still many outlets
:04:01. > :04:03.in Suffolk, as there is in many counties,
:04:04. > :04:05.where you can purchase sex. But as for on street prostitution,
:04:06. > :04:10.no, Ipswich is relatively I'm still in touch with many
:04:11. > :04:17.of the women that we helped off the streets, and they are all living
:04:18. > :04:20.far, far different lives now. One or two are still struggling
:04:21. > :04:22.with their addiction. So, what sort of things,
:04:23. > :04:24.then, are the women that What are their lives like now?
:04:25. > :04:28.What are they doing? Well, first and foremost,
:04:29. > :04:30.they are not working on the streets as prostitutes,
:04:31. > :04:32.and that for me Where I work now, Iceni,
:04:33. > :04:37.we work with families, and we've had probably eight of them
:04:38. > :04:40.back over the ensuing years, To see where those women are now,
:04:41. > :04:46.where they were ten years ago, I know you've been working very
:04:47. > :04:51.hard, travelling around the country, Has there been any
:04:52. > :04:59.kind of uptake on that Unfortunately, from what I'l
:05:00. > :05:03.getting, talking to colleagues across the UK, there has been very
:05:04. > :05:06.little actually achieved, in the ten years, actually nothing
:05:07. > :05:09.has changed, and I think that's tremendously
:05:10. > :05:12.disappointing for me. When towns and cities won't do
:05:13. > :05:15.anything, is it going to take murders of other women before
:05:16. > :05:17.they sit up and say, hang on, we've got to do
:05:18. > :05:20.something about this? Paratroopers based at Colchdster
:05:21. > :05:28.Barracks are about to start 16 Medical Regiment will be setting
:05:29. > :05:35.up a field hospital in South Sudan. It is one of the poorest countries

:05:54. > :05:59.for war-torn South Sudan. Are you concerned about
:06:00. > :06:02.the dangers they may face? There are risks with any
:06:03. > :06:04.deployment like this. We try and make sure there hs proper
:06:05. > :06:08.force protection so that the medics who will be working there
:06:09. > :06:10.are properly protected But this is a difficult
:06:11. > :06:16.and dangerous part of the world. That is why we send the very best,
:06:17. > :06:19.and that is the British Armx. Since South Sudan gained
:06:20. > :06:22.independence in 2011, hundreds of thousands have been
:06:23. > :06:25.displaced by conflict. 16 Medical Regiment will bolster
:06:26. > :06:30.UN peacekeeping efforts there, and they are taking
:06:31. > :06:33.an impressive bit of kit. This might look like
:06:34. > :06:35.a tent, but actually, It can be folded up to the point
:06:36. > :06:40.where it can actually be It is all down to strategic
:06:41. > :06:48.packing of boxes and a lot of foam and wrapping up, but the kit
:06:49. > :06:50.is surprisingly robust. The equipment looks remarkably
:06:51. > :06:53.similar to what you would fhnd in Are you looking forward
:06:54. > :06:59.to testing your skills I am really excited to go
:07:00. > :07:03.on the tour. I have not been in
:07:04. > :07:07.the Army for that long. I am looking forward to testing

:07:16. > :07:21.in Bury St Edmunds has been named as the best in the country
:07:22. > :07:24.for detecting cancer early. That puts them first
:07:25. > :07:28.out of 208 other areas. And not only are they saving lives,
:07:29. > :07:31.they are saving money too. These are the staff working
:07:32. > :07:42.to detect cancer early. This is our digital
:07:43. > :07:44.screening equipment. It was installed
:07:45. > :07:47.around four years ago. We call women aged 50 to 70
:07:48. > :07:50.to the screening van once every three years through their GP
:07:51. > :07:56.and we see around 50 women ` day. Sam works in this
:07:57. > :07:59.mobile screening unit, parked in a supermarket car park
:08:00. > :08:04.for three months of the year. Maths teacher Kathleen
:08:05. > :08:12.was screened in a similar v`n, 18 months ago in a Tesco
:08:13. > :08:16.car park in Haverhill. There were no visible signs
:08:17. > :08:20.of her cancer, but breast ilaging picked it up and Kathleen h`s had
:08:21. > :08:24.a successful operation. I did not know there was anything
:08:25. > :08:27.there, I couldn't see It was so small that I would not
:08:28. > :08:32.have known until it was too late. I almost do not feel as thotgh
:08:33. > :08:35.I have had it, in a sense, because I didn't know about it
:08:36. > :08:37.until they told me Part of the West Suffolk success
:08:38. > :08:42.story is down to training GPs, The rates in this area and not just
:08:43. > :08:48.the best in the country this year, compared to the national
:08:49. > :08:58.average of 50%. We go over and above
:08:59. > :09:03.what we are contracted to do. For example, this month
:09:04. > :09:06.is Breast Awareness Month and we have had more referr`ls than
:09:07. > :09:10.we have spaces for. So we have organised extra
:09:11. > :09:14.additional clinics in the evenings For West Suffolk, being the best
:09:15. > :09:20.doesn't just mean a fancy title - early diagnosis means a greater

:09:32. > :09:43.of the late team, goodnight. Thank you. It is a dry night ahead
:09:44. > :09:48.with some mist and areas of quite dense fog. Light winds and
:09:49. > :09:49.temperatures by many ranging from about seven to nine Celsius.

:10:04. > :10:09.a while for this to clear btt once it has come, a largely cloudy day
:10:10. > :10:12.and the cold front will introduce sunlight and patchy rain. A cooler
:10:13. > :10:21.day compared to today with highs of 12 or 13. Wednesday, high pressure
:10:22. > :10:22.building on the West. I think probably a widespread ground frost
:10:23. > :10:26.on Wednesday morning. Then it should on Wednesday morning. Then it should

:10:48. > :10:51.average. All change on Frid`y, a average. All change on Friday, a
:10:52. > :10:56.front pushing down from the North West will introduce some Dicko cloud
:10:57. > :11:01.and outbreaks of rain. In some places it could be heavy and
