Gale force winds batter the East. And forecasters warn there is more

:00:12.:00:17.

to come. Hello and welcome to Look East. Also tonight: The driver

jailed for two years after this toddler was killed in a road crash.

:00:20.:00:25.

Johnson versus Joey. But, was it a butt? And, now that Christmas is

:00:25.:00:35.
:00:35.:00:41.

over, what does 2012 hold for our First, tonight, how those gale

:00:41.:00:46.

force winds battered the East. With gusts of up to 64 miles an hour,

:00:46.:00:52.

the first severe storm of the winter blew in overnight. And,

:00:52.:00:55.

throughout the day, it has caused havoc. Trees came down on roads and

:00:55.:00:58.

railway lines. The Queen Elizabeth II Bridge carrying the M25 across

:00:58.:01:03.

the Thames estuary had to be closed, as was the port of Felixstowe. In a

:01:03.:01:06.

moment, forecaster Chris Bell on why it happened. But first, our

:01:06.:01:16.
:01:16.:01:18.

reporter, Richard Daniel, who is in Normally the cranes at the port of

:01:18.:01:24.

Felixstowe operate around the clock. Not today. They stopped operating

:01:24.:01:30.

at 3am. The disruption at the port is expected to continue through the

:01:30.:01:36.

night and into tomorrow. It really was a day when no part of the

:01:36.:01:44.

region escaped unscathed. For many, Back To Work Day has been fraught

:01:44.:01:52.

with problems. 19-year-old Matt found his Volkswagen Golf wrecked.

:01:52.:02:00.

I came Dan at 6:30am. There was a tree on my car. It is going to be

:02:00.:02:06.

awfully expensive to claim on the insurance. I do not know what to do.

:02:06.:02:14.

I am a bit lost. Gusts brought dozens of trees down across the

:02:14.:02:20.

region. This ancient oak was cleared away in Woodbridge. Another

:02:20.:02:27.

tree down at Tuddenham, north of Ipswich. For a tree surgeon, it was

:02:27.:02:32.

non-stop. I have travelled out to Ockley and Ipswich come up all over

:02:32.:02:38.

the place, tidying up. Just before we got here, someone had managed to

:02:38.:02:44.

clear a path through. Many rail passengers have had their journeys

:02:44.:02:47.

disrupted. A fallen tree meant replacement buses between Brandon

:02:47.:02:53.

and set third and Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds. Damage to overhead

:02:53.:02:57.

power lines caused delays on mainline trains out of Liverpool

:02:57.:03:02.

Street. Those services were later back to normal. At Great Yarmouth,

:03:02.:03:07.

of the wind turbine is was spinning in the gale. On sure it was a case

:03:07.:03:15.

of picking up the pieces. Nearby, there were more signs of the

:03:15.:03:20.

wreckage that gale-force winds left behind. For Road travellers,

:03:20.:03:30.

conditions were treacherous. On the M1, a combination of road works and

:03:30.:03:36.

deep standing water made journeys difficult. Earlier there had been

:03:36.:03:44.

queues on the A14. On the Dartford crossing, the QE2 Bridge was closed.

:03:44.:03:52.

Finally, pictures taken by Edgar from his home in Clacton,

:03:52.:04:00.

illustrating the power of nature at the time of the storm. Despite the

:04:00.:04:05.

winds gusting at times, most of the show edge of flights from our

:04:05.:04:08.

airports got away and arrived on time. It stands to bail City

:04:08.:04:17.

flights diverted from Heathrow, Gatwick and London City Airport.

:04:17.:04:23.

Flights out to the gas platforms in the North Sea were disrupted. Five

:04:23.:04:28.

of 24 Scheduled flights went away on time. Extraordinary things have

:04:28.:04:33.

been going on today. We were content to buy off at primary

:04:33.:04:43.
:04:43.:04:44.

school where there were reports of a frying Trumper lean. -- contacted

:04:44.:04:48.

by authored primary-school. It seems it will be quite some while

:04:48.:04:53.

before operations here return to normal. So, where did the gales

:04:53.:05:01.

come from? Chris Bell has the details. We had a very big area of

:05:01.:05:04.

low pressure move across Scotland last night and into the morning. We

:05:04.:05:11.

saw very strong winds. Across our region, the chart is showing

:05:12.:05:16.

Weybourne at 64 miles per hour was our highest gust across the region.

:05:16.:05:21.

Much of the region saw a gust between 50 and 60 miles an hour. We

:05:21.:05:26.

will have a bit of a lull in the action tonight. Things will pick up

:05:26.:05:32.

Wednesday night and into Thursday morning. I will up the full

:05:32.:05:39.

forecast at the end of the programme. -- have before forecast.

:05:39.:05:42.

As you may have heard, detectives investigating the discovery of a

:05:42.:05:44.

woman's body on the Queen's estate at Sandringham say they are

:05:44.:05:48.

treating the case as murder. The body was found in woodland near the

:05:48.:05:54.

hamlet of Anmer. Victoria Cook is there now. They Sandringham estate

:05:54.:06:00.

is fast. This body was discovered a mile from the Queen's Norfolk

:06:00.:06:04.

residents. In the last 15 minutes we have had an update from Norfolk

:06:04.:06:08.

police who said it was the body of a young, adult woman that was found.

:06:08.:06:14.

She had been an from between a month to up to four months. The

:06:14.:06:19.

body was discovered by a double Cup on Sunday afternoon. Police have

:06:19.:06:25.

not been able to identify the women. They do not know the identity but

:06:25.:06:29.

they will start their investigation by looking into missing persons

:06:29.:06:33.

reports. We are focusing at the moment on missing people. We will

:06:33.:06:39.

prioritise those missing closer to here and further away. We will work

:06:39.:06:43.

our way out. At the same time there will be things established during

:06:43.:06:50.

the postmortem that maybe lead to run identification of the victim

:06:50.:06:53.

anyway. -- and identification. Hopefully we will have a good idea

:06:53.:07:00.

of who we are dealing with. What are you expecting to happen next?

:07:00.:07:05.

This afternoon, the body was passed from the forensics teams to the

:07:06.:07:10.

coroner. The body of the woman was taken to the Queen Elizabeth

:07:10.:07:13.

Hospital in King's Lynn. The postmortem has been carried out

:07:13.:07:20.

this afternoon. More information should be available soon. Police

:07:20.:07:25.

say some details of this murder will not be released quite so soon.

:07:25.:07:30.

There is a good and deliberate reason for that. Details such as

:07:30.:07:33.

the state the body was found in and whether the woman was rain

:07:33.:07:38.

particular clothing, what clothing she was wearing, of those details

:07:38.:07:45.

will not be released at the moment. Only three parties at the moment no

:07:45.:07:52.

those details. They say that information will remain close to

:07:52.:07:58.

them and not be released as it is key to their investigation. Later

:07:58.:08:01.

in the programme, the mood among retailers at one of our biggest

:08:01.:08:11.
:08:11.:08:13.

And, the Olympic anthem written by one of the guys from McFly, which

:08:13.:08:23.
:08:23.:08:25.

needed some help from school A professional jockey from Dubai,

:08:25.:08:29.

who killed a toddler in a car crash, has been jailed for two years.

:08:29.:08:32.

Ahmed Aldubaili was driving on the wrong side of the road in Newmarket

:08:32.:08:35.

when he collided with a car, which was carrying three-year-old Henry

:08:35.:08:45.
:08:45.:08:52.

He woke up with a smile every day. He lost his life at the age of just

:08:53.:09:00.

three, in a tragic car crash. This was the man responsible. He was

:09:00.:09:05.

driving along the road and going at a steady speed of 40 miles an hour.

:09:05.:09:11.

He was driving carefully. He made a catastrophic mistake. He ended up

:09:11.:09:16.

on the wrong side of the road. That led to the head on collision that

:09:16.:09:20.

killed Henry. He was visiting the market with the ambition of

:09:20.:09:26.

becoming a horse trainer. He was driving a friends Jaguar uninsured.

:09:26.:09:30.

The court heard he believed he was covered because in Dubai, the car

:09:31.:09:37.

is covered and not the driver. He had made a tragic mistake. He was

:09:37.:09:43.

jailed for two years the stock he began to cry. The court heard of

:09:43.:09:49.

how he wanted to meet with the family of Henry to tell them of the

:09:49.:09:55.

regret. If any person had done what he had done by mistake, they have

:09:55.:10:00.

got to have that feeling, surely. Taking the life of the child...

:10:00.:10:05.

must live with that for the rest of his life. Henry's family will have

:10:05.:10:09.

to live without him for the rest of their first. He was a happy little

:10:09.:10:15.

boy that loved every day. It is always good memories. They were

:10:15.:10:20.

only three short years but they are good memories. Never forgotten.

:10:20.:10:26.

What happened that October evening cannot be either. Henry's family

:10:26.:10:29.

hope that the jailing of the man responsible will mean they can

:10:29.:10:34.

finally find some peace. Detectives have been given more time to

:10:34.:10:37.

question a carer, arrested on suspicion of murdering a pensioner.

:10:37.:10:40.

Paul Norfolk, who was 77, died from head injuries after an incident at

:10:40.:10:50.
:10:50.:10:51.

his home at Castle Lane in Haverhill last Friday. A 48-year-

:10:51.:10:54.

old man was seriously injured when an aircraft caught fire at North

:10:54.:10:57.

Weald airfield near Harlow in Essex. It is thought the twin-engine

:10:57.:10:59.

aircraft was stationary when the fire started yesterday evening.

:10:59.:11:04.

Firefighters used foam and powder to put it out. Six staff at the

:11:04.:11:06.

James Paget Hospital at Gorleston in Norfolk have been disciplined

:11:06.:11:10.

after failing to care properly for elderly patients. Last year, the

:11:11.:11:13.

hospital was given two warnings by the Government health watchdog

:11:13.:11:15.

because older people were not treated with enough dignity or

:11:16.:11:25.
:11:26.:11:28.

The James Paget has already been told it must make immediate

:11:28.:11:31.

improvements will face further action. Six staff have been

:11:31.:11:36.

formally punished after failing to look after elderly patients

:11:36.:11:40.

properly. Two more are being investigated. The information has

:11:40.:11:44.

come from a Freedom of Information request to reflect the 12 months to

:11:44.:11:48.

November. It has worried the hospital's patient group.

:11:48.:11:51.

hopefully this is not something that is going to escalate into

:11:51.:11:57.

something more serious. Our concern would be looking at the disrespect

:11:57.:12:04.

and neglect maybe that patients receive because of bad staff

:12:04.:12:08.

practice. How many staff have been disciplined at other hospitals

:12:08.:12:12.

because of neglected elderly patients. The Norfolk and Norwich

:12:12.:12:18.

says it has not had any patients -- cases, nor has the Queen Elizabeth

:12:18.:12:23.

Hospital in King's Lynn. At the West Suffolk Hospital, two people

:12:23.:12:28.

have faced disciplinary action. Managers at the James Paget think

:12:28.:12:32.

they have bigger share they are addressing the problem. Our staff

:12:32.:12:36.

are comfortable in whistle-blowing and raising areas of concern where

:12:36.:12:41.

they feel a member of their team, or somebody they know, is not

:12:42.:12:47.

caring for People appropriately. The Care Quality Commission says it

:12:47.:12:51.

inspected the hospital again on 7th December. It will release its

:12:51.:12:54.

report in the near future. Norwich Airport's development fee has

:12:54.:12:58.

doubled to �10 from today. The airport says the money will pay for

:12:58.:13:01.

better facilities for passengers. When it was introduced in 2007,

:13:01.:13:05.

opponents called it a tax on travelling. The money has funded a

:13:05.:13:09.

�14 million investment programme. Airport managers say the 100%

:13:09.:13:19.
:13:19.:13:20.

increase is necessary to compete with bigger airports.. Football now.

:13:20.:13:23.

And there is one incident that got everyone talking after yesterday's

:13:23.:13:26.

Premier League game at Loftus Road. Tom is here to tell us more.

:13:26.:13:29.

Incidentally, Norwich beat QPR 2-1 but it is Joey Barton's red card

:13:29.:13:34.

that has dominated the headlines. The Rangers captain was sent off.

:13:34.:13:40.

Look closely for an apparent head butt on Bradley Johnson. Barton

:13:40.:13:42.

claimed the decision was ridiculous and that the officials had been

:13:42.:13:46.

conned. QPR manager Neil Warnock branded Johnson a cheat and a

:13:46.:13:56.
:13:56.:13:58.

disgrace. A second away win, Norwich up to 9th but the scalp of

:13:58.:14:05.

QPR overshadowed by a moment of high controversy. This happened.

:14:05.:14:11.

And the referee, after long debate, has given Joey Barton a red card.

:14:11.:14:17.

When the two players come Together Again, there is a suggestion of use

:14:17.:14:23.

of the head by Joey Barton. It is there. That is what the referee saw.

:14:23.:14:28.

QPR said they would appeal the red card. Barton defended his actions

:14:28.:14:33.

on Twitter saying he did not head- butt him and the decision was

:14:33.:14:38.

ridiculous. Who says coloured sheets don't prosper. Bradley has

:14:38.:14:42.

conned everyone. I am not surprised that Bradley Johnson went down.

:14:42.:14:50.

What I liked was, as if he had been hurt. You do not expect extra

:14:50.:14:54.

acting in those situations. player in that position probably

:14:54.:15:00.

would have reacted in the same way. For me, I cannot see that Bradley

:15:00.:15:05.

Johnson did a lot wrong in that incident. If Joey Barton had not

:15:05.:15:09.

put his head towards Johnson in the first place, they would not have

:15:09.:15:15.

been having this discussion. If a match official sees a player head-

:15:15.:15:19.

butt some Manaus, then obviously they would react immediately. All

:15:19.:15:26.

the evidence would point to the fact they did not see it. To have

:15:26.:15:32.

guessed is not acceptable. 24 hours on, Norwich fans had mixed feelings

:15:32.:15:39.

was to top it was not fair on them. It should not have been a red cards,

:15:39.:15:44.

it should have been a yellow. cannot move your head forward in

:15:45.:15:50.

football. If you head-butt someone, you're going to be sent off. Before

:15:50.:15:56.

that decision, he had put them QPR up in front. The winner came seven

:15:56.:16:01.

minutes from time. City are 10 points clear at of the drop zone

:16:01.:16:05.

and looking good, if they can keep their heads. Boss Paul Jewell says

:16:05.:16:08.

he is anxious to strengthen his Ipswich squad this month. The Blues

:16:08.:16:11.

lost 3-1 at home to Nottingham Forest yesterday. Forest who had

:16:11.:16:14.

not scored in ten hours prior to this game raced into a two goal

:16:14.:16:17.

lead. Town earned a penalty when Jay Emmanuel-Thomas was fouled.

:16:17.:16:23.

Grant Leadbitter scored. Just. But any hopes of a fight back were

:16:23.:16:26.

quashed three minutes later. Defeat leaves Ipswich just three points

:16:26.:16:29.

clear of the drop zone and in need of reinforcements in the transfer

:16:29.:16:34.

window. Colchester are 12th in League One after the festive action.

:16:34.:16:37.

John Ward bemoaned his side's lack of quality upfront after a 1-0

:16:37.:16:43.

defeat at MK Dons. The only goal, an own goal, from Magnus Okuonghae.

:16:43.:16:46.

He was under heavy pressure from Gary MacKenzie. Southend have gone

:16:46.:16:50.

off the boil in League Two. Just one win in eight. They looked like

:16:50.:16:53.

making it two when Michael Timlin, playing his last game on loan from

:16:53.:16:56.

Swindon, scored a cracker. But Dagenham equalised three minutes

:16:56.:17:06.
:17:06.:17:09.

from time, leaving Southend in I think we gained a point today. We

:17:09.:17:14.

didn't deserve anything from the game. Our performance was poor,

:17:14.:17:18.

right through the team. Plenty more reaction to all the festive games

:17:18.:17:28.
:17:28.:17:34.

You are watching Look East from the BBC. Coming up: Is there life after

:17:34.:17:39.

Christmas for our retailers? The region's politicians will all be

:17:39.:17:42.

watching one thing in the coming year - the economy. With a looming

:17:42.:17:45.

Eurozone crisis and weak growth, everyone agrees it is going to be

:17:45.:17:51.

tough. So, how will it play out in our region? We asked our political

:17:51.:17:54.

correspondent to speculate on the big issues for 2012 both here and

:17:54.:18:03.

at Westminster. Over the last few months, but waters around

:18:03.:18:09.

Westminster have become decidedly choppy. All the signs of that over

:18:09.:18:14.

the next year they will become even rougher. Ask any MP what the main

:18:15.:18:20.

story of 2012 will be and they all give the same answer. It has to be

:18:20.:18:26.

the economy. The economy. economy is very important. This is

:18:26.:18:30.

the year that the economy will barely grow. Councils will cut

:18:30.:18:35.

budgets again. No one knows what will happen in the eurozone. There

:18:35.:18:39.

is very little out there that gives us cause for hope. Consumer

:18:39.:18:43.

confidence is going through the floor. For people across the East,

:18:43.:18:49.

they will feel the squeeze in a way they did not do last year. MPs are

:18:50.:18:55.

agreed this year will be tough. Two coalition MPs recently told me that

:18:55.:19:00.

when it comes to the economy they are terrified. Many believe things

:19:00.:19:05.

may not be too bad for this region. There will still be some growth. A

:19:05.:19:09.

lot of that may come from the east. They point to the large number of

:19:09.:19:14.

hi-tech companies in the region and the growth in demand for wind

:19:14.:19:17.

energy. Their hope is that this means we are well placed to take

:19:17.:19:22.

advantage of the recovery. course the situation is difficult.

:19:22.:19:26.

It is very important for us also to reflect the positive things that

:19:26.:19:33.

are happening as well. Confidence is so important to this recovery.

:19:33.:19:36.

If everybody just talks gloomily about the economy we will get

:19:36.:19:43.

nowhere. This will be a year of unprecedented investment in

:19:43.:19:49.

infrastructure. The A11 and A14 will be improved. MPs will lobby

:19:49.:19:53.

hard for the region's railways. There will be more homes built,

:19:53.:19:57.

some in the countryside. One government critics says it could be

:19:57.:20:03.

the next big flash point. We need to protect the countryside and our

:20:03.:20:06.

green areas. I acknowledge the coalition government wants to free

:20:06.:20:12.

of planning. We need to not throw out the baby with the bath water.

:20:12.:20:16.

The controversial policy of creating free schools and academies

:20:16.:20:21.

will continue apace. The health reforms will start to bite. What

:20:21.:20:27.

will happen in Iran and the Middle East? There were fireworks at New

:20:27.:20:33.

Year. It will be the year of change and uncertainty. And tomorrow we'll

:20:33.:20:36.

report on the prospects for the region's economy in 2012 with

:20:36.:20:41.

Richard Bond. But, next tonight, the prospects for our shops. In the

:20:41.:20:44.

run-up to Christmas, we spoke to a number of retailers in Milton

:20:44.:20:47.

Keynes. We returned to centre:mk last week to see how the sales were

:20:47.:20:51.

going and today we have gone back to look at the prospects for this

:20:51.:21:01.
:21:01.:21:01.

year. The party is over. It is time for 2011 to join the ghosts of

:21:01.:21:06.

Christmas past. As with any good party, as the fake snow settles, it

:21:06.:21:12.

is time to count the cost. We spoke to Steve Tucker a few days ago. He

:21:12.:21:19.

feared there would be his worst Christmas in 24 years of trading.

:21:19.:21:22.

The sales were good at the last minute when all the men realise

:21:22.:21:25.

they had to come out and get something, otherwise Christmas

:21:26.:21:31.

dinner would have been on their heads. A late rush saw 780,000

:21:31.:21:35.

people through the shopping centre doors before they closed on

:21:35.:21:41.

Christmas Eve. That number topped a million. An increase of 35% on last

:21:41.:21:45.

year. In the shop in particular, Milton Keynes was incredibly busy.

:21:45.:21:52.

I have never seen so many customers in our shop. Football does not mean

:21:52.:21:56.

cells or profit. The big stores are coy when it comes to talking about

:21:56.:22:01.

the bottom line. Neil Morris is more candid. This year, although we

:22:01.:22:06.

went down, we managed it better. We agree discounts with our suppliers

:22:06.:22:12.

that we are able to pass on to our customers. It was not as painful as

:22:12.:22:19.

the 2008 period following the Lehman Brothers crisis. I am wary.

:22:19.:22:27.

I am hopeful and determined to try to make things work. Last year the

:22:27.:22:30.

British consumer refused all temptation, saving themselves for
