Hello and welcome to the Look East late news.

In the programme tonight: The patient evicted from his

hospital bed after two and a half years speaks for the first time

A Suffolk widow describes the moment she pretended to be dead,

as a gunman massacred holidaymakers in Tunisia.

And we meet the school pupils who played a starring role

First tonight, the NHS patient who refused to leave his hospital

bed in Suffolk for almost two and a half years has given his side

Adriano Gurdish moved from Portugal to work in the UK 15 years ago.

In 2008, a stroke left him paralysed from the chest down.

And in August 2014, he was admitted to the James Paget

During the months that followed, he repeatedly turned down offers

The hospital went to court in December 2016 and Mr Gurdish

He is now in a council flat in Suffolk but says he is so unhappy

Tonight social services say they have "explored

all options available, but they were declined by him."

This exclusive report from Debbie Tubby.

Adriano Guedes is paralysed from the chest down.

He spends his day locked in a council flat in Suffolk.

There's no carpet, curtains or central heating.

A stroke eight years ago meant he lost the use of his arm and legs.

He says he was admitted to the James Paget hospital

in August 2014 for mental health not medical reasons.

Did you want to stay in the hospital?

At the beginning, I went on hunger strike.

With no help at all, I decided to stop my life.

What is it you wanted to be given to leave the hospital?

A place that was wheelchair friendly that my family

It has cost nearly ?300,000 for you to stay in the hospital

which you say you didn't want to be in.

Someone else could have used that bed.

It's very bad to occupy a place that should be used by someone in need.

But, at the same time, I didn't cause the situation.

Do you feel guilty that someone else could've used that bed?

The hospital and other agencies have repeatedly offered him care

In December the hospital went to court to get him

If you assault someone, who can defend themselves, it is one thing.

But when you abuse a disabled, it is something else.

Since he was evicted from hospital two weeks ago, the 63-year-old

Either things work out or I pass away.

The James Paget Hospital says it has acted compassionately

Adriano Guedes says he doesn't want to rely on benefits.

He just wants to live independently with the help of carers.

Patrick Thompson has been representing patients

Sitting on various health and hospital boards across the region.

I asked him whether he thought Mr Gurdish was representative

of a broken system or whether he is refusing help that is there.

It is all very well getting summoned into hospital and then finding out

when the are due out that the house is not right, there is no carers

or there is something wrong with the discharge,

and then of course the discharge is delayed.

I have been in the patient and Public involvement industry,

so to speak, for many years, and this has always been high

But over those years have you seen the problem get worse?

I don't think it's getting worse, I think it's getting exasperated

The demographics are completely different.

And I think none of that has been taken into consideration since

District nurses, pedometer lists, social care, private

or within the county council, opticians, dentists, the whole raft.

When you pile money into one, you unfortunately are

When you pile money into one, you unfortunately are

And if that better integration doesn't happen, what do

You can have all the pieces there, but of the don't join up

properly, you don't get the full picture.

And I think now we have determined and see it will continue to fail

unless we get proper integrated services, and that

It's a pleasure, thank you very much.

A coroner was told today that a holidaymaker from Suffolk

She and her husband were on sunbeds some 30 metres from the shore.

She says she was aware of being shot in the upper arm and felt

But not aware of the full extent of her injuries.

She hadn't realised she had been shot in the abdomen.

The gunshots were getting closer, she said.

I was fearing for my life and lay still in the sand.

I thought my best chance was to play dead.

I wasn't sure if my husband had been shot.

A postmortum revealed death was caused due to bullet wounds

She was carried off the beach to be rushed to hospital.

She spent three weeks in an induced coma.

When we eventually got to do the funeral, it started to hit home.

She told the inquest her husband shared her love of cricket and had

A straightforward, honest man, taken from her on a holiday

It is quite a cool thing to think about.

Gives us something awesome to look back on in a few years.

Coming up now the weather with Alex, but from the rest

Freezing fog will be widespread through the great. Extensive through

the region. Another hazard to content with is ice on untreated

surfaces. Temperatures will get a few degrees below freezing. Cold and

frosty start tomorrow. High-pressure keeping things settled. Foggy start,

so there could be some disruption to travel. Mist and fog will lift to

low-level Cloud. Quite a cold they. Three or 4 degrees is possible.

Quite a bit colder than today. Here is the outlook. Colder still on

Thursday. A blast of cold continental air

For all of us, it'll get colder and then milder again come the weekend.

This shot taken earlier by a weather watcher in East Anglia. The fog

becoming extensive over the next few hours in many south-eastern parts of

England. Much, much milder, further north and

west. Let's concentrate on that fog. I think it is going to be a problem

again tomorrow morning. There are warnings in force T could be

disruptive. Allow extra time for your journey. Some icy surfaces,

too. Further north and west across gales, fogp won't be an issue. Early

brightness at 8.00am through parts of the south-west and Wales. And

northern counties. A reasonable day here. More cloud in Northern Ireland

and Scotland. Quite a gusty wind which will be a feature of the

weather tomorrow. Mild, technically, nine or ten. But the wind will be in

evidence throughout the day. The odd spot of rain out west but in great

amounts. Further south and east the fog will spread into parts of the

Midlands and lift into low cloud. A includier day in south-eastern parts

of England and East Anglia and the Midlands. A slice of sunshine across

more central areas. Mild across the north-west, distinctly chilly

further south and east. Chillier than today for sure. The bigger

picture shows high pressure in the east and winds continue to evolve

around the high pressure. Dragging in colder air from a breezing near

continent. You'll notice an edge to the wind on Thursday. A shock to the

system and for some the coldest-feeling day of the winter so

far a brisk south-easterly. Plenty of dry and bright weather. The odd

flake of snow perhaps but boy is it going to be cold. Some places

struggling to get above freezing. Add on the wind and it'll feel very

raw. Stays chilly on Friday across more northern and eastern areas.

Something milder pushing in towards the south-west. Mild but also more

unsettled. Some splashes of rain around as we head towards the

weekend. Weekend is not nailed on. There will be sunshine to push in

off the Atlantic but the progress of the fronts still uncertain but

expect a fair bit of cloud and some showery rain for a time but it will

be milder for all of us. Watch out for the showers. There will
