the United States. Join me now on BBC Two, and

Hello, and welcome to the Look East late news.

The father of the man convicted of the Suffolk murders urges his son

And the best area in the country for detecting cancer early.

And it is going to get colder, all the details in your forecast for the

week ahead. Steve Wright, the killer

who is serving life in jail for the Suffolk murders,

was today urged by his fathdr to say sorry

and to finally admit his guilt. Conrad Wright made his plea

to Look East exactly ten years after the first young woman,

Tania Nicol, went missing. Over the next six weeks,

four more women disappeared. All five were drug addicts,

all five were prostitutes, and all five were murdered

by Steve Wright, who dumped But since then, street prostitution

in the town has all but disappeared. Ten years ago, Steve Wright's

killing spree made him Throughout his six-week tri`l,

he maintained his innocence, his motives for murdering five

women never revealed. But now, his father,

Conrad, believes it is time He could say

he's sorry and admit it. There is a little "if"

there all the time. Conrad Wright last

saw his son in court. He tried to visit him

in prison, but Steve Wright Well, I think I'd probably only go

there if he wanted me to go. But I don't think, if I could get

face-to-face with him, Tania Nichol was last seen

on October 30, 2006. She was 19 years old and worked

as a street prostitute in Ipswich. Her body was found

three weeks later. Inside this private ambulance,

the body of a woman discovered late More than 300 officers from 40

different forces were called in And in just over six weeks,

Suffolk Police got their man. It was an immensely challenging

investigation. But I think the thing that I take

away from it was how we got With Tania Nicol's disappearance,

we recognised that she was A detective chief inspector

was assigned to look after that investigation,

we utilised what was a major investigation team to conduct

that investigation. It was a craving for drugs

that drove the five women Since then, huge strides have

been made in Ipswich Vulnerable sex workers have been

taken off the street. And for Conrad Wright,

there is the hope that he and others might find some peace

in a confession from Steve Wright. At the time, Brian Tobin was working

with the young women, As Chief Executive

of the Iceni Project, he led a team which sought to gain

the women's trust, offer help with housing and tackle

their drug addiction. As we know, the area known

as the red light district is now very pleasant and a clean

and tidy and safe place But that doesn't mean

there is no prostitution. There is very little

street prostitution. There's still many outlets

in Suffolk, as there is in many counties,

where you can purchase sex. But as for on street prostitution,

no, Ipswich is relatively I'm still in touch with many

of the women that we helped off the streets, and they are all living

far, far different lives now. One or two are still struggling

with their addiction. So, what sort of things,

then, are the women that What are their lives like now?

What are they doing? Well, first and foremost,

they are not working on the streets as prostitutes,

and that for me Where I work now, Iceni,

we work with families, and we've had probably eight of them

back over the ensuing years, To see where those women are now,

where they were ten years ago, I know you've been working very

hard, travelling around the country, Has there been any

kind of uptake on that Unfortunately, from what I'l

getting, talking to colleagues across the UK, there has been very

little actually achieved, in the ten years, actually nothing

has changed, and I think that's tremendously

disappointing for me. When towns and cities won't do

anything, is it going to take murders of other women before

they sit up and say, hang on, we've got to do

something about this? Paratroopers based at Colchdster

Barracks are about to start 16 Medical Regiment will be setting

up a field hospital in South Sudan. It is one of the poorest countries

in the world, a country Today, before they leave,

the Paras were paid a visit The Defence Secretary addressing

16 Medical Regiment - army doctors, nurses, medics,

swapping their maroon berets They are bound for Africa,

for war-torn South Sudan. Are you concerned about

the dangers they may face? There are risks with any

deployment like this. We try and make sure there hs proper

force protection so that the medics who will be working there

are properly protected But this is a difficult

and dangerous part of the world. That is why we send the very best,

and that is the British Armx. Since South Sudan gained

independence in 2011, hundreds of thousands have been

displaced by conflict. 16 Medical Regiment will bolster

UN peacekeeping efforts there, and they are taking

an impressive bit of kit. This might look like

a tent, but actually, It can be folded up to the point

where it can actually be It is all down to strategic

packing of boxes and a lot of foam and wrapping up, but the kit

is surprisingly robust. The equipment looks remarkably

similar to what you would fhnd in Are you looking forward

to testing your skills I am really excited to go

on the tour. I have not been in

the Army for that long. I am looking forward to testing

the skills that I have learned will be heading for

South Sudan in the New Year. The West Suffolk Hospital

in Bury St Edmunds has been named as the best in the country

for detecting cancer early. That puts them first

out of 208 other areas. And not only are they saving lives,

they are saving money too. These are the staff working

to detect cancer early. This is our digital

screening equipment. It was installed

around four years ago. We call women aged 50 to 70

to the screening van once every three years through their GP

and we see around 50 women ` day. Sam works in this

mobile screening unit, parked in a supermarket car park

for three months of the year. Maths teacher Kathleen

was screened in a similar v`n, 18 months ago in a Tesco

car park in Haverhill. There were no visible signs

of her cancer, but breast ilaging picked it up and Kathleen h`s had

a successful operation. I did not know there was anything

there, I couldn't see It was so small that I would not

have known until it was too late. I almost do not feel as thotgh

I have had it, in a sense, because I didn't know about it

until they told me Part of the West Suffolk success

story is down to training GPs, The rates in this area and not just

the best in the country this year, compared to the national

average of 50%. We go over and above

what we are contracted to do. For example, this month

is Breast Awareness Month and we have had more referr`ls than

we have spaces for. So we have organised extra

additional clinics in the evenings For West Suffolk, being the best

doesn't just mean a fancy title - early diagnosis means a greater

chance of survival. Coming up next,

the weather with Julie. But from me and the rest

of the late team, goodnight. Thank you. It is a dry night ahead

with some mist and areas of quite dense fog. Light winds and

temperatures by many ranging from about seven to nine Celsius.

Although in some spots we h`ve Although in some spots we have

already fallen to around six sources. The Met Office have issued

sources. The Met Office havd issued a yellow warning for fog and some

tricky travelling conditions tonight and tomorrow morning. It might take

a while for this to clear btt once it has come, a largely cloudy day

and the cold front will introduce sunlight and patchy rain. A cooler

day compared to today with highs of 12 or 13. Wednesday, high pressure

building on the West. I think probably a widespread ground frost

on Wednesday morning. Then it should on Wednesday morning. Then it should

be largely fine and dry with decent sunny spells, perhaps the odd

shower. Some of us struggling to reach 10 Celsius, 50 Fahrenheit.

further over the top of us `nd I further over the top of us and I

think we could see a ground frost or even a local air frost. Then another

largely dry day with decent sunny spells. But temperatures a bit below

average. All change on Frid`y, a average. All change on Friday, a

front pushing down from the North West will introduce some Dicko cloud

and outbreaks of rain. In some places it could be heavy and

persistent. Trash-mac figurd five. Next, the National forecast, but

first, here side. Strong northerly winds, some

sunshine and also some rain for the weekend. The National weather coming

up now with Louise. Halloween 2 16 up now with Louise. Halloween 2016

has almost come and gone but it has left some spookily interesting

statistics. It has been a third consecutive mild Halloween. The

warmest was in 2014, 20 four Celsius. Today we have been breaking

records in Wales, the warmest Halloween, 22 Celsius. A glorious

shot, fairly indicative of what we had in Wales today, sent in by

weather watcher earlier. A different story further north and east. The

cloud made it great and in the Northern Isles temperatures didn't

climb above nine Celsius. It is as cold air set to descend south

through the course of the night tonight and brings a marked contrast
