04/01/2012 Look East - East

Hello and welcome to Look East with Jonathan and me. Coming up in the

next 30 minutes: Detectives fail to identify the

victim of the Sandringham murder. The investigation goes on.

In football, the crisis refuses to blow away at Ipswich. Now the

pressure is on the Chief Executive. My job is to support the manager

and as long as I continue to enjoy the support of the owner, then I

will continue to do the job that I am employed to do to the best of my

ability. Stormy weather ahead as the

region's economy enters a bracing new year.

And if you're struggling already with that January diet, some

inspiration from soldier's wife Good evening.

Detectives in Norfolk have tonight released more details of the

Sandringham murder. But they still haven't revealed who the victim was.

It's now been four days since the body of a young woman was

discovered in woodland on the Royal Estate. Earlier that morning, the

Royal Family had been to church - the first time the Duke of

Edinburgh had made a public appearance since leaving hospital

after having heart surgery. At four o'clock the remains were discovered

by a dog-walker about a mile from the gates of Sandringham. Alex

Dunlop has been following the investigation.

And Alex? Her well, officers left care about

a couple of hours ago as darkness fell -- left here. All day, they

have been searching for clues in a small copse at the end of this dirt

track behind make in the search for ideas as to why this woman and how

this woman died. Earlier this afternoon, a police helicopter was

brought in but behind the scenes today, police scientists have been

trying to match the an A sample to establish the identity of this

woman. -- DNA. Norfolk police say samples have not provided a profile,

so they cannot yet identify the victim. What we know is she was

between 15 and 23, described as a young, white female. We have not

been told yet as to whether she was closer to. It is thought she has

been there between one and four months, but we don't know if she

died before she was brought here. That said, police do seem certain

she was murdered. The police are reviewing court cases and missing

persons report to try and find out who she was, but two facts have

highlighted speculation that it could be the body of a missing

teenager from Cambridge, Alisa Dmitrijeva. The first fact is that

Alisa Dmitrijeva, a Rachel Lee from Latvia, is 17 years old and it

falls within the age range -- Alisa Dmitrijeva is from Latvia. Her

second the, she was last seen in King's Lynn around the end of

August and the body can have been here for a performance. The police

are trying to use more traditional methods to establish the identity

which could take another 24 hours. Alex, thank you very much.

Simon Clegg, the chief executive of Ipswich Town Football Club,

insisted today he could turn around the club's fortunes. Mr Clegg spoke

out after fans expressed their anger after a dismal holiday run of

results. We will hear from Mr Clegg, after this from Richard Daniel.

Calamitous, embarrassing. Paul Jewell's description of Ipswich

Town's most recent, shocking defeat, a thrashing at home by Nottingham

Forest. Now the fight is on to avoid relegation and desertion by

the club's long-suffering fans. After Monday's result, my 15-year-

old son, who season-ticket is part of his birthday present, turned

around and said he will have something else for his birthday

next year and his birthday is in December. He is a potential client

for the next 60 years in business terms and they are switching him

off. It is a year since Roy Keane was replaced by Paul Jewell, but

now fans have passed their verdict in an online poll published today

by the East Anglian Daily Times. For ratified say it is time Paul

Shaw went. -- four out of five say it is time Paul Jewell went. They

are also frustrated about other things. We have had good young

players moved on to other clubs, not necessarily through their own

choice. They would be better off bringing in a 20-year-old from a

lower league club, so that what Norwich have done. Hungry, young

players who want to play for the club and one to play for the shirt

and I don't see any players at the moment hoodoo. It is not just on

the pitch that the club faces he challenges. Said Marcus Evans took

over four years ago, the debt has doubled to �60 million, which

clearly is unsustainable. What is your biggest fear for the

club in the coming months? That Ipswich go down and Marcus Evans

pulls out and the club goes into administration again. It has lost

touch with the community, it is to be engaged ended is too serious in

the cap itself, because there is no plan or structure. -- it needs to

re engage. Carl Day of the Ipswich Town

Independent Supporters' Trust. Earlier I spoke to Ipswich's Chief

Executive Simon Clegg, who told me Paul Jewell's position as manager

was not under threat. Paul enjoys the full support of the UN and

myself and that is why we are continuing to back him and making

money available if the need additional players -- of the owner.

Things are not going well on the pitch and we have identified some

areas of witnesses and Paul is looking at those. Is there a time

limit of how long this can go on? If the defeat keep on racking up,

there has to be at tipping point? There has to be a tipping point at

some point, but we are somewhere from that decision. How many games?

I will not put my finger on a particular moment in time, that

would be unhelpful for everyone involved. If Paul Jewell loses the

next five games, would he still be in a job? You are trying to put me

into a position where I commit to wear that giving pointers. It must

be close, given that this run at the moment and the amount of games

compared to Roy Keane, the amount of. Gathered, is actually worse,

yet Roy Keane got sacked. -- point. When you evaluate the manager, you

can't build up slowly, that she can't do solely on that, although

it is the driving issued, there are other issues to take into account.

The local paper had a big poll and it said nearly 80% of people said

they should be called You're should go. I don't support that view.

Paul Jewell should go. I have seen the outcome, I have read it with

interest and the number of people who have responded and of course,

we need to be conscious of that. What we need to do is put all of

our efforts at this moment in time into turning around what is

happening on the pitch. In that same poll, there was a bit about

yourself and your position. The majority of people felt that your

position was the big problem at Ipswich. How do you feel about

that? That is certainly the first time that that position has been

articulated in that particular way. I speak regularly to supporters.

But the last month, I have been at two supporters' club meetings -- in

the last month. I am yet to have any feedback like was in the

article. I am conscious of it, but I am not walking away. I'm here to

fight and making sure I can support the manager intern socks --

achieving the goal. Have you considered your position? No.

you? No. Even if this run continues? My job is to support the

manager and as long as I continue to enjoy the support of the owner,

are well do the job I am employed to do. Since Barkers others to

further, the club has gone backwards. This is one of its worst

periods in its history -- since Marcus Evans took over. How does

that make you and Marcus Evans feel? It was supposed to be a

bright, brave new world for the club. It was and when you look at

the levels of investment over the last couple of years, they are

considerable when compared to other clubs in the championship. No one

can question that the level of commitment Marcus Evans has given

to the club. We have to turn things around on the pitch and if we don't

have the right players, we have to bring them in.

Simon Clegg talking to me earlier in Ipswich. Still more to come on

Look East, including what the business world has to say about the

region's economic prospects this coming year.

Our studio guest tonight is the region's Slimmer of the Year.

And in the weather, a calmer day for most of us but strong, gusty

winds return tonight. The full details coming up later.

A carer from Thailand has appeared in court charged with the murder of

a Suffolk pensioner. Bunthawee Rimmer was arrested on Saturday

after the body of Paul Norfolk was found at his house in Haverhill.

This is the 49-year-old woman charged with the murder of the man

she shared a house with and cared for. After appearing in court in

Bury St Edmunds, Bunthawee Rimmer tried to hide her face from the

cameras. 70 miles away in Haverhill, the house where 77-year-old Paul

Norfolk was discovered last Friday. A post-mortem revealed he had died

of head injuries. Police say they were called by neighbours concerned

about his fat -- welfare, the same neighbours who have lined the

doorstep by Tributes but are too shocked to talk about what has

happened. Forensic officers are still looking for clues. During the

brief, five-minute hearing it, Bunthawee Rimmer was remanded in

custody. The 49-year-old was told she was charged with the murder of

Paul Norfolk between the 28th and 31st December, with a tie

interpreter her translating proceedings. She spoke only to

confirm her name and address. This river will appear at Ipswich Crown

Court in late January -- Miss Rimmer.

A woman from Great Yarmouth has denied murdering her neighbour.

Shane Boulton died from a single stab wound after being attacked

near his home in Stanley Terrace last June. The court heard 18-year-

old Katy Brown had been fighting in the street with Mr Boulton's

girlfriend. He broke up the fight and Ms Brown stabbed him.

Suffolk Police have released security camera images of potential

witnesses to a stabbing in Bury St Edmunds. They want to speak to two

people on a bench opposite McDonald's in the Buttermarket at

about 5:10 in the morning on New Year's Day, as well as a man and a

woman walking along Angel Hill at 5:15. The police stress they are

not suspects, but may have vital information. Three men have been

arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

The Football Association has dismissed an appeal by the Queens

Park Rangers player Joey Barton. It was against his sending off against

Norwich on Monday. Barton had claimed he hadn't tried to headbutt

Bradley Johnson during the game at Loftus Road.

It's been a year since the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Kings Lynn

started offering more advanced eye surgery. Before then, patients had

to travel to Cambridge or Norwich. Today, patients can be in and out

of hospital in a day. I am going to pop some more

eyedrops in. And has come to have have written a reattached. She lost

her sight in the eye after a haemorrhage, but in a few hours,

she will regain some of it -- her retina. It will give me confidence

that the RA should hopefully be OK after this. The site might not be

there, but the I will be healthy -- the vision. Until retinal surgery

was introduced here, she would have to have travel around 100 miles to

be treated. Now the staff say it is simple, quick and local. Basically,

a Britain that is about -- a bit like wallpaper. It just comes off

it is microscopic surgery. -- A Whetton at is a bit like wallpaper.

If we find any holes, we seal them with a laser, and fill the eye with

either gas or some kind of similar agent to put the retina back.

has been a couple of hours, and Anne will be coming around from

have operation which has been a great success. It will take a

couple of weeks of recovery, but hopefully at the end of that, she

will get some of the side back in her right. She is not alone. In the

last year, 160 people like her have got their side back.

Meanwhile, blind people in Norfolk have been told they no longer

qualify for free early morning bus travel. It means they cannot use

their concessionary passes before 9:30. The county council said it

couldn't afford the subsidy. Visitor numbers at St Edmundsbury

Cathedral in Bury St Edmunds have risen by 10% over the past year.

2011 saw the highest number of visitors recorded at the cathedral,

with the total reaching over 97,000. It was also the first year that the

cathedral has been completely free of scaffolding since 1999, when the

Millennium Project to renovate it began. St Edmundsbury was made a

cathedral in 1914. Since then, it's been extended several times. A

church has been on the site since Nearly �2 million is being spent

restoring a medieval guildhall in Essex. The hall, in Finchingfield,

near Halstead, is 540 years old and is in desperate need of repair.

The Guildhall in the village of Finchingfield. Filled 1470. Perhaps

not surprisingly, it has seen better days -- it was built in.

condition is poor. It has been placed on the Buildings at Risk

register by English Heritage, considered to be at risk of falling

into significant disrepair. It is sad to see a building as wonderful

as this sitting cold and empty. it won't be cold and empty for long.

The restoration has begun. It will cost �1.8 million. They Heritage

Lottery Fund has given more than 1.3 million, English Heritage has

contributed �200,000. And there is a lot to be done. Or we are doing

the full restoration on the building, which includes oak frame

repairs, wattle-and-daub, plaster, doing limed ash floors, the windows.

It is hoped by April next year, villagers will be using the Guild

You're watching Look East from the BBC. Coming up: Slimming tips from

This week on Look East, our specialist correspondents are

considering what 2012 will bring. Last night, we started with

politics. Tonight, it's the economy. Last year was tough for all sectors

of the economy. Local councils have been shedding jobs, retailers have

struggled and unemployment hit a 17-year high. But there are

glimmers of hope. Tonight's special report is from our business

correspondent Richard Bond. And if you want to bare her the

region's economy is doing it, there are two excellent from it has --

dunno. One is the port of Felixstowe, the

other is Stansted airport. So how are they doing and how are they

fixed for 2012? First, Felixstowe. Trade was flat in 2011, reflecting

the poor state of retail trade. Shop goods are a big part of

Felixstowe's business. The outlook for this year is uncertain. As for

Stansted, if anything, it is worse. Last year, passenger numbers were

down 7%. This year, the prediction is for a further drop of 4%. Cash-

strapped consumers are taking fewer trips. So the two big engines of

our economy are not exactly firing on all cylinders. But what about

other sectors? Manufacturing has been strong. The region's exports

were up by one 5th last year. But with the eurozone in trouble, this

year will be difficult. The dominant services sector, covering

things like finance, and health care, is showing weak growth. But

brighter are renewables. This year, at two major offshore wind farms

will be completed. Between them, they will power up to 600,000 homes.

But in 2012, we will need a fair wind to avoid falling back into

recession. Which reminded me of an interview I did exactly three years

ago with one of the region's leading insolvency experts.

believe the recession will continue until 2012. Not a particularly good

picture to paint, but that is by experienced and this is my 4th

resection I am dealing with. what is David saying today now we

are in 2012? The first six months is going to be very difficult. You

will have statisticians say we are into the double dip, but it is

irrelevant, what is really coming out is that businesses are much

more leading end efficient and it is a question of confidence. The

Olympics will definitely give us the confidence factor. So could it

be that the Olympics will tip the balance, pushing us into recovery?

Let's hope so. We will need all the help we can get.

And tomorrow night, our Olympics reporter Shaun Peel assesses the

impact of the London 2012 Games on our region.

Christmas may be just a distant memory, but for many of us there's

a reminder of the good times around the waistline. Time maybe for that

New Year diet. One woman who knows all about

shedding weight is Rachel Lee from Ipswich. She's the Regional Slimmer

of the Year at her slimming club. And she's with us now.

You look absolutely amazing. Thank you very much. What did you way and

what do you weigh now? I was 16 stone 12 and I am now 10 stone 12.

And sizes have dropped... Yes, I was a size 20, I am now a size 10

and I am quite happy with that. did you do it and was it difficult?

I did it by going to Rosemary Conley fit this club and I didn't

find it too difficult, to be honest. Some people slaughter me for saying

that, but I stuck to it and it really worked for me, I have got to

say. It is a lovely story, because your husband is in the services and

he was away for a 4.5 month period and you lost the majority of it in

that time. So he was a bit surprised. I lost about one stone

per month while he was away, and I had my hair cut short and he turned

up and I picked him up and be any reason he recognised me was because

I was driving his car! -- the only. Was he happier with the new year or

did he want the old you back? has no need for such a long time,

he has known me slim and beak and he leads me the way I am -- he has

no need for such a long time, slimmer and bake. You then got

pregnant and had too little boy, so you then have to do it again?

on about three stone when I was pregnant. Obviously, you lose a

little bit when you have the baby and after about four months, my

instructor called me and asked that I was going to come back and I said,

yes, that was the push I needed. And I went back to slimming club

and lost the weight and a little bit more. Top tip? Write down

everything you eat. That way, you can't lie to yourself. If you have

a bar of chocolate, you know about it. It is balance, exercise, eating

the right things. Been stripped. Exactly. -- being strict. Your

wardrobe, I imagine it is lovely to go and buy new clothes? I have

brought along... This is my jumper that I was wearing before. Putted

up against yourself, so we can say. That put it. It is nice to be able

to wear something that you can just go down to the shop and just buy it

and not have to worry about what you look like in things, because

you know it is going to look good. You are an inspiration, thank you

so much for coming in. Figures from the world of art and

the media have today been paying tribute to Ronald Searle, the

artist behind the fictional St Trinian's School.

Ronald Searle grew up in Cambridge. It was said that he based his

stories of St Trinian's' mayhem on one of the city's schools.

Term has begun. The St Trinians girls. Ronald Searle's most famous

creation. The films are based on his wild cartoons based on girls

with an eye for trouble and adventure. Today, the school in

Cambridge which gave him the idea proudly remembers him. He talks

about how when he was growing up in Cambridge, he was inspired by the

posse of girls he used to see travelling up to the field, walking

around the school. He wrote a terse and what his very sweet, he

actually apologises, because he feels they went as nasty and

naughty as he suggested that he wrote to us. Ronald Searle has been

described as an inspiration. Away from his school stories, he drew

darker material when he was imprisoned by the Japanese during

the Second World War. But it was at the Cambridge School of Art where

he said a drawing became as natural as breathing. Now every deer,

students complete for the Ronald Searle award for creativity --

every year. St Trinian's made him famous, but it was only a small

part of his work. I don't think he was fully appreciated in the UK,

because of the dominance of the St Trinians drawings and subsequent

films, and he became so labelled with that work. I think that is one

of the reasons that he decamped to France. But I think internationally,

as I say, he was usually appreciated. He died at the age of

91 and said the secret to his long life was down to drinking champagne

every day. Amazing, wasn't he?

A reminder of tonight's main news: Within the past hour, detectives in

Norfolk said they have been unable to identify the remains of a woman

found at Sandringham in Norfolk. Victoria Cook is at Norfolk police

headquarters now: Victoria? Yes, as we have been hearing it,

police have taken samples from the post mortem and said they were

unable to get the identification of hear this young woman is. They said

they are going to continue with more traditional method of

identification as well as continuing DNA testing. They said

all of that will take at least another day. We know this is a

young, white female between the ages of 15 and 23 and police

believe she could have been lying on a royal estate for up to four

Munster. They continue to look at cold cases. They are looking at the

case of Latvian teenager Alisa Dmitrijeva. She was reported

missing from King's Lynn in August. They are also looking at the case

of Vitalija Baliutaviciene, a 29 year-old mother who was also

reported missing from Peterborough in August.

Victoria, thank you very much. Time to look at the weather now

with Alex. with Alex.

Good evening. Before we get on with the forecast, a brief look back at

last year's weather. It was a very interesting year of weather and

exceptionally dry in the east. Data has now confirmed that it was in

fact the second driest year since 1921, and it looks as though it is

going to be the joint warmest year on record, previously held by 2006.

It looks as though the data will be just about the same. Some

interesting locations. The Suffolk border has come up as an

interesting feature, sandy soils that warm-up quickly on a summer

day but call them very quickly on a winter day, and the highest

temperature was recorded there, 32.2 Celsius, but also it recorded

the lowest Celsius -- temperature of minus 6.1 Celsius. And the

wettest location, Andrew's field. Looking ahead to tonight, this

weather front is right across us, bringing the potential for some

very stormy conditions and gusty wind, particularly overnight and

first thing tomorrow. It has brought some patchy, light rain and

it could turn increasingly heavy overnight as that gusty wind moves

through. He will say that stops -- there will be moments where it will

be dry, but a fair amount of rain expected. The real concern is the

strength of those wins and they are certainly going to be able to Paul

that branches. They are generally going to be as south-westerly

direction, strong in strength, touching near gale force around

coastal areas, so did take care if you are out and about and early

tomorrow morning as well. Potentially, the rain will clear

first thing fairly swiftly. It will stay very windy through tomorrow.

Mostly dry, the chance of an isolated showers. Temperatures, at

best, 7 or 8C and after that, the wind speed will increase and it

will be a north-westerly direction, so that will drag in some Collette

air, so it will feel quite chilly in the wind. -- cooler air. The

wind will ease in the evening but it will still be fairly blustery

through the afternoon and mostly dry. After that, an area of high

pressure starts the Belbin for Friday, but she will see on the

chart there is a week weather front and that will turn conditions

increasingly cloudy throughout the day on Friday. This is how the our

club shapes up. Potentially fine on Friday but turning cloudier -- as a

clerk. Some patchy rain that will clear first thing on Saturday but

the wind speed will die down after tomorrow. Find that on Sunday,

cloudy on Monday and looking at the other night lows, we could

potentially get the ground frost on Thursday night and Saturday, but do
