Hello, and welcome to the Look East late news. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The father of the man convicted of the Suffolk murders urges his son | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
And the best area in the country for detecting cancer early. | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
And it is going to get colder, all the details in your forecast for the | :00:16. | :00:26. | |
week ahead. Steve Wright, the killer | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
who is serving life in jail for the Suffolk murders, | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
was today urged by his fathdr to say sorry | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
and to finally admit his guilt. Conrad Wright made his plea | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
to Look East exactly ten years after the first young woman, | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
Tania Nicol, went missing. Over the next six weeks, | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
four more women disappeared. All five were drug addicts, | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
all five were prostitutes, and all five were murdered | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
by Steve Wright, who dumped But since then, street prostitution | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
in the town has all but disappeared. Ten years ago, Steve Wright's | :01:00. | :01:06. | |
killing spree made him Throughout his six-week tri`l, | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
he maintained his innocence, his motives for murdering five | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
women never revealed. But now, his father, | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
Conrad, believes it is time He could say | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
he's sorry and admit it. There is a little "if" | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
there all the time. Conrad Wright last | :01:31. | :01:44. | |
saw his son in court. He tried to visit him | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
in prison, but Steve Wright Well, I think I'd probably only go | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
there if he wanted me to go. But I don't think, if I could get | :01:50. | :01:57. | |
face-to-face with him, Tania Nichol was last seen | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
on October 30, 2006. She was 19 years old and worked | :02:04. | :02:12. | |
as a street prostitute in Ipswich. Her body was found | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
three weeks later. Inside this private ambulance, | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
the body of a woman discovered late More than 300 officers from 40 | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
different forces were called in And in just over six weeks, | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
Suffolk Police got their man. It was an immensely challenging | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
investigation. But I think the thing that I take | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
away from it was how we got With Tania Nicol's disappearance, | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
we recognised that she was A detective chief inspector | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
was assigned to look after that investigation, | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
we utilised what was a major investigation team to conduct | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
that investigation. It was a craving for drugs | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
that drove the five women Since then, huge strides have | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
been made in Ipswich Vulnerable sex workers have been | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
taken off the street. And for Conrad Wright, | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
there is the hope that he and others might find some peace | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
in a confession from Steve Wright. At the time, Brian Tobin was working | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
with the young women, As Chief Executive | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
of the Iceni Project, he led a team which sought to gain | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
the women's trust, offer help with housing and tackle | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
their drug addiction. As we know, the area known | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
as the red light district is now very pleasant and a clean | :03:39. | :03:47. | |
and tidy and safe place But that doesn't mean | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
there is no prostitution. There is very little | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
street prostitution. There's still many outlets | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
in Suffolk, as there is in many counties, | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
where you can purchase sex. But as for on street prostitution, | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
no, Ipswich is relatively I'm still in touch with many | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
of the women that we helped off the streets, and they are all living | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
far, far different lives now. One or two are still struggling | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
with their addiction. So, what sort of things, | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
then, are the women that What are their lives like now? | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
What are they doing? Well, first and foremost, | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
they are not working on the streets as prostitutes, | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
and that for me Where I work now, Iceni, | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
we work with families, and we've had probably eight of them | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
back over the ensuing years, To see where those women are now, | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
where they were ten years ago, I know you've been working very | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
hard, travelling around the country, Has there been any | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
kind of uptake on that Unfortunately, from what I'l | :04:52. | :04:59. | |
getting, talking to colleagues across the UK, there has been very | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
little actually achieved, in the ten years, actually nothing | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
has changed, and I think that's tremendously | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
disappointing for me. When towns and cities won't do | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
anything, is it going to take murders of other women before | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
they sit up and say, hang on, we've got to do | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
something about this? Paratroopers based at Colchdster | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
Barracks are about to start 16 Medical Regiment will be setting | :05:21. | :05:28. | |
up a field hospital in South Sudan. It is one of the poorest countries | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
in the world, a country Today, before they leave, | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
the Paras were paid a visit The Defence Secretary addressing | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
16 Medical Regiment - army doctors, nurses, medics, | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
swapping their maroon berets They are bound for Africa, | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
for war-torn South Sudan. Are you concerned about | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
the dangers they may face? There are risks with any | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
deployment like this. We try and make sure there hs proper | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
force protection so that the medics who will be working there | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
are properly protected But this is a difficult | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
and dangerous part of the world. That is why we send the very best, | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
and that is the British Armx. Since South Sudan gained | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
independence in 2011, hundreds of thousands have been | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
displaced by conflict. 16 Medical Regiment will bolster | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
UN peacekeeping efforts there, and they are taking | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
an impressive bit of kit. This might look like | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
a tent, but actually, It can be folded up to the point | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
where it can actually be It is all down to strategic | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
packing of boxes and a lot of foam and wrapping up, but the kit | :06:41. | :06:48. | |
is surprisingly robust. The equipment looks remarkably | :06:49. | :06:50. | |
similar to what you would fhnd in Are you looking forward | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
to testing your skills I am really excited to go | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
on the tour. I have not been in | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
the Army for that long. I am looking forward to testing | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
the skills that I have learned will be heading for | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
South Sudan in the New Year. The West Suffolk Hospital | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
in Bury St Edmunds has been named as the best in the country | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
for detecting cancer early. That puts them first | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
out of 208 other areas. And not only are they saving lives, | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
they are saving money too. These are the staff working | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
to detect cancer early. This is our digital | :07:32. | :07:42. | |
screening equipment. It was installed | :07:43. | :07:44. | |
around four years ago. We call women aged 50 to 70 | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
to the screening van once every three years through their GP | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
and we see around 50 women ` day. Sam works in this | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
mobile screening unit, parked in a supermarket car park | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
for three months of the year. Maths teacher Kathleen | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
was screened in a similar v`n, 18 months ago in a Tesco | :08:05. | :08:12. | |
car park in Haverhill. There were no visible signs | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
of her cancer, but breast ilaging picked it up and Kathleen h`s had | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
a successful operation. I did not know there was anything | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
there, I couldn't see It was so small that I would not | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
have known until it was too late. I almost do not feel as thotgh | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
I have had it, in a sense, because I didn't know about it | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
until they told me Part of the West Suffolk success | :08:36. | :08:37. | |
story is down to training GPs, The rates in this area and not just | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
the best in the country this year, compared to the national | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
average of 50%. We go over and above | :08:49. | :08:58. | |
what we are contracted to do. For example, this month | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
is Breast Awareness Month and we have had more referr`ls than | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
we have spaces for. So we have organised extra | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
additional clinics in the evenings For West Suffolk, being the best | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
doesn't just mean a fancy title - early diagnosis means a greater | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
chance of survival. Coming up next, | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
the weather with Julie. But from me and the rest | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
of the late team, goodnight. Thank you. It is a dry night ahead | :09:32. | :09:43. | |
with some mist and areas of quite dense fog. Light winds and | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
temperatures by many ranging from about seven to nine Celsius. | :09:49. | :09:49. | |
Although in some spots we h`ve Although in some spots we have | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
already fallen to around six sources. The Met Office havd | :09:53. | :09:54. | |
already fallen to around six sources. The Met Office have issued | :09:55. | :09:55. | |
sources. The Met Office havd issued a yellow warning for fog and some | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
tricky travelling conditions tonight and tomorrow morning. It might take | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
a while for this to clear btt once it has come, a largely cloudy day | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
and the cold front will introduce sunlight and patchy rain. A cooler | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
day compared to today with highs of 12 or 13. Wednesday, high pressure | :10:13. | :10:21. | |
building on the West. I think probably a widespread ground frost | :10:22. | :10:22. | |
on Wednesday morning. Then it should on Wednesday morning. Then it should | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
be largely fine and dry with decent sunny spells, perhaps the odd | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
shower. Some of us struggling to reach 10 Celsius, 50 Fahrenheit. | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
shower. Some of us struggling to reach 10 Celsius, 50 Fahrenheit On | :10:35. | :10:35. | |
reach 10 Celsius, 50 Fahrenheit. On Thursday, the high-pressure migrates | :10:36. | :10:36. | |
further over the top of us `nd I further over the top of us and I | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
think we could see a ground frost or even a local air frost. Then another | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
largely dry day with decent sunny spells. But temperatures a bit below | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
average. All change on Frid`y, a average. All change on Friday, a | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
front pushing down from the North West will introduce some Dicko cloud | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
and outbreaks of rain. In some places it could be heavy and | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
persistent. Trash-mac figurd five. Next, the National forecast, but | :11:02. | :11:02. | |
first, here side. Strong northerly winds, some | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
sunshine and also some rain for the weekend. The National weather coming | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
up now with Louise. Halloween 2 16 up now with Louise. Halloween 2016 | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
has almost come and gone but it has left some spookily interesting | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
statistics. It has been a third consecutive mild Halloween. The | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
warmest was in 2014, 20 four Celsius. Today we have been breaking | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
records in Wales, the warmest Halloween, 22 Celsius. A glorious | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
shot, fairly indicative of what we had in Wales today, sent in by | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
weather watcher earlier. A different story further north and east. The | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
cloud made it great and in the Northern Isles temperatures didn't | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
climb above nine Celsius. It is as cold air set to descend south | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
through the course of the night tonight and brings a marked contrast | :11:55. | :11:55. | |
for | :11:56. | :11:57. |
