How close did we come to World War 3?

听

Inside Out reveals that 50 years ago during the dispute over Russia's siting of nuclear missiles on Cuba, crews across the east were poised to fire the first missile from bases in the region.

听

The programme also uncovers how those crews were put on a higher state of alert than official records say.

听

Missiles, ready to be launched at five minutes' notice, were prepared in secret.

Before the 拢7.2m clearance operation in October last year, Dale Farm was one of Britain's largest traveller communities.

听

Half the site had been legally occupied while the rest - a former scrapyard on green belt land - had grown into an illegal settlement of single storey chalets.

听

The council has defended its action, saying it was "upholding the law" which "every public body is expected to do".

听

But the travellers believe the clearance was a waste of public money which has brought misery to those affected.

Museums across the country are worried about the increase in high profile thefts of valuable objects from their collections.

At least 111 artefacts have been reported stolen from museums across the east of England alone in the last six years, according to police records.

The Victoria and Albert Museum in London has set up a national Museum Security Group to examine the growing problem and how to tackle it.

听

One of its roles is to provide advice to museums about how best to protect their collections.

Over the past year, several museums in East Anglia have fallen victim to high-profile thefts.

Museums across the region, wary of further comprising the security of their precious artefacts, have had at least 110 items stolen, totalling more than 拢300,000, since 2007.
