:00:08. > :00:12.Chelmsford Prison has been held partly responsible

:00:13. > :00:15.for the death of a young inmate, who killed himself while being cared

:00:16. > :00:20.The family of Dean Saunders say he was suicidal

:00:21. > :00:27.But today an inquest found he'd been the victim of neglect in prison,

:00:28. > :00:30.and there were serious failings by the private company

:00:31. > :00:38.Dean Saunders' family leaving the coroner's court at the end

:00:39. > :00:41.Dean's partner, the mother of his son, said Dean

:00:42. > :00:43.should have been in hospital, not caged

:00:44. > :00:49.I know what it feels like, I don't want another Dean or another

:00:50. > :00:51.family to have to go through this again.

:00:52. > :00:53.But do you fear they will, if nothing is changed?

:00:54. > :00:59.If nothing changes, it will happen again.

:01:00. > :01:01.There were gasps of relief from Dean Saunders' family

:01:02. > :01:04.when the foreman of the jury read out that Dean's death

:01:05. > :01:13.There were multiple failings at Chelmsford Prison, said the jury,

:01:14. > :01:15.including complacency about Dean's state of mind and circumstances.

:01:16. > :01:18.In an interview with Look East, a former inmate told us

:01:19. > :01:20.what the medical wing of the prison was like.

:01:21. > :01:23.I wouldn't even say there WAS a proper medical

:01:24. > :01:30.So I've just come through myself - there would be a little

:01:31. > :01:33.like that, obviously with glass or

:01:34. > :01:36.bars on to protect the nurse, and from there the queue sometimes went

:01:37. > :01:41.people queueing back up the stairs...

:01:42. > :01:47.And they're all looking for medical help?

:01:48. > :01:51.And by this time people are still waiting in the queue, their

:01:52. > :01:52.dinner's going cold, everyone's getting

:01:53. > :01:54.angry, no-one wants to wait in the queues...

:01:55. > :01:57.And then people trying to jump in... It just causes riots.

:01:58. > :02:01.said the jury were let down by serious failings in both mental

:02:02. > :02:05.I'm just so grateful that someone's finally listened to us -

:02:06. > :02:11.Words can't describe how much we miss him,

:02:12. > :02:21.The blessing is we've got a little bit of him in his son.

:02:22. > :02:23.The family's now urging the coroner to prepare a report

:02:24. > :02:29.highlighting the failings, to try to prevent another needless death.

:02:30. > :02:31.The company which runs the medical wing, Care UK,

:02:32. > :02:32.has issued a statement, offering its condolences

:02:33. > :02:38.It says it's decided to end its contract with Chelmsford Prison,

:02:39. > :02:40.due to insufficient resources available to provide

:02:41. > :02:45.It also adds that it's developed a plan to help

:02:46. > :02:50.It's emerged today that a hospital in Norfolk went

:02:51. > :02:52.to court to evict a patient, who refused to leave

:02:53. > :02:58.The patient had been on the ward at the James Paget

:02:59. > :03:01.Another patient claimed the man treated the ward like a hotel.

:03:02. > :03:07.The James Paget Hospital says its decision to go to court

:03:08. > :03:10.to evict a patient wasn't taken lightly, but the bed was needed.

:03:11. > :03:15.The Portuguese man finally left ten days ago.

:03:16. > :03:17.Another patient on his ward, who didn't want to be identified,

:03:18. > :03:21.is disgusted he was allowed to treat the hospital like a hotel.

:03:22. > :03:26.that it stopped somebody else from being treated.

:03:27. > :03:32.He was getting all the X-rays, he was getting all the treatment,

:03:33. > :03:39.Solicitor Ben Ward says legally the hospital

:03:40. > :03:41.is in a difficult position, as without the patient's consent,

:03:42. > :03:47.It's a very, very difficult predicament for the hospital to be

:03:48. > :03:50.in, and ultimately they've had to take the decision to go

:03:51. > :03:57.And that seems to be the only legal way in which the hospital

:03:58. > :04:01.The MP for Great Yarmouth, Brandon Lewis, praises

:04:02. > :04:03.the way the hospital dealt with the situation,

:04:04. > :04:10.We all have a duty to think about what is right and appropriate,

:04:11. > :04:13.and that was clearly a case where there were opportunities

:04:14. > :04:15.for that person to be where they should have been

:04:16. > :04:18.That's just not fair on the local community.

:04:19. > :04:21.The patient is now understood to be living in Suffolk.

:04:22. > :04:22.He hasn't been available for comment.

:04:23. > :04:25.Tonight, the hospital said it needs to ensure that its limited resources

:04:26. > :04:29.are given to those people who really need them.

:04:30. > :04:31.Meanwhile, experts are predicting that the man's two-year stay

:04:32. > :04:33.cost the NHS ?200,000, and it's unlikely that that money

:04:34. > :04:45.As you may have seen, Donald Trump has been sworn

:04:46. > :04:50.in as the 45th President of the United States.

:04:51. > :04:52.The event was followed across the world.

:04:53. > :04:55.And it was the big talking point at the Bungalow Diner near Colchester -

:04:56. > :05:09.It's a slice of America - but in the county of Essex.

:05:10. > :05:12.And it's got everything you'd want from an American diner.

:05:13. > :05:14.And my breakfast favourite, pancakes with maple syrup.

:05:15. > :05:17.But breakfast aside, today is all about the man who's

:05:18. > :05:19.going to be in charge of the United States of America

:05:20. > :05:26.American businessman Donald Trump is the 45th US president.

:05:27. > :05:28.Today, at the Capitol Building in Washington, he took the Oath

:05:29. > :05:37.of Office, where he promised to protect America and its people

:05:38. > :05:46.and to be a good leader, which his fans embrace.

:05:47. > :05:48.But that's something that some of the ex-pats

:05:49. > :05:52.I don't think he's going to protect our daily lives,

:05:53. > :05:56.things like the cost of healthcare, the cost of food.

:05:57. > :05:58.They're stocking the government with people who don't

:05:59. > :06:02.I think the idea of protecting the American people is THE one thing

:06:03. > :06:07.And he'll do it through the enhancement of national security

:06:08. > :06:11.and through putting a lot of money into the defence sector.

:06:12. > :06:13.President Trump says he wants to make America great again,

:06:14. > :06:18.create more jobs, and be tough on terrorism and immigration.

:06:19. > :06:23.So as the billionaire takes office, his supporters will no doubt mark

:06:24. > :06:31.But those in the anti-Trump camp, those who campaigned against him,

:06:32. > :06:33.will be likely to be anxiously watching his every move

:06:34. > :06:43.Those are your top stories tonight - just time to leave you with

:06:44. > :06:47.Well, it's another dry but cold night -

:06:48. > :06:53.Temperatures in some spots, like last night, might actually fall

:06:54. > :06:56.lower than these values, possibly down to minus 5 to minus 6.

:06:57. > :06:58.Light winds, so we're also looking at some mist and fog,

:06:59. > :07:06.So tomorrow that mist and fog might take a while to clear; once it's

:07:07. > :07:09.gone it's looking a dry day, but we are expecting thicker cloud

:07:10. > :07:12.to spread into some parts, and that could produce a little bit

:07:13. > :07:14.of light rain and drizzle in North Norfolk.

:07:15. > :07:17.The best of any brightness and sunshine expected in the south.

:07:18. > :07:19.Temperatures tomorrow at best around 6 Celsius, 43 Fahrenheit.

:07:20. > :07:22.And it looks like the dry conditions will continue through the afternoon

:07:23. > :07:25.Now, in a moment Helen has the national forecast,

:07:26. > :07:28.but I'll leave you with the outlook, and on Sunday perhaps the better

:07:29. > :07:31.chance of some spells of sunshine once mist and fog has cleared,

:07:32. > :07:33.and it looks like the dry conditions will continue

:07:34. > :07:39.feel cooler. Can we keep it going until the start of the new week? I

:07:40. > :07:40.suspect we can. Unconfirmed about -- concerned about the fog around. Here

:07:41. > :07:51.is Helen with the national picture. Good evening. The weather is upon

:07:52. > :07:54.us. The cloud has made all the difference this week in particular.

:07:55. > :07:58.We have had some wonderful weather watcher pictures, this is Marlowe in

:07:59. > :08:04.Buckinghamshire, this was Conwy earlier in the day. Some areas still

:08:05. > :08:08.have the cloud. What a difference that makes. Edinburgh, the central

:08:09. > :08:17.lowlands, plagued by this band of narrow cloud, overnight more areas

:08:18. > :08:20.share in the frost. Pretty widespread, the frost overnight,

:08:21. > :08:22.cold across northern England, Southern Scotland and Northern

:08:23. > :08:23.Ireland
