In Look East tonight: The weekend winter really bit. Snow

:00:06.:00:09.

and ice caused disruption on road and rail, though the main routes

:00:09.:00:14.

did stay open. Hello from Susie and me. Also

:00:14.:00:16.

tonight: After yesterday's fun, it was

:00:16.:00:23.

another day off for many schoolchildren across the region.

:00:23.:00:31.

We have had complete blocks that are under 2 ft of snow.

:00:31.:00:39.

A new operator, but the same old problems for rail commuters. And

:00:39.:00:44.

the Queen meets power people on the 60th anniversary of her accession

:00:44.:00:54.
:00:54.:00:55.

to the throne. After a weekend of snow, it has

:00:55.:01:01.

been a day of disruption on road and rail. Children were given it a

:01:01.:01:05.

day at home as schools were forced to close. The major routes stayed

:01:05.:01:11.

open, but ice and snow made driving conditions difficult. In a moment,

:01:11.:01:17.

it we are in a critic -- gritting centre.

:01:18.:01:23.

This is a riverside park in Huntington. This is where people

:01:23.:01:28.

spontaneously gathered to enjoy the snow. In the gloom, it is an army

:01:28.:01:34.

of snowmen, but it causes big problems others. Many schools were

:01:34.:01:38.

forced to close, and in the rush hour, there was also a lot of

:01:38.:01:43.

trouble. After Saturday night's snowfall,

:01:43.:01:49.

the region was on the move again. In dense freezing fog, a school bus

:01:49.:01:54.

and two cars were involved in this accident. A passenger had to be cut

:01:54.:02:01.

free, but there were no serious injuries. Schools were closed. In

:02:01.:02:06.

Suffolk are, six schools turned pupils away, and in Haven Hill

:02:06.:02:12.

though headteacher said the school closure was due to an unsafe --

:02:12.:02:17.

unsafe site and parking conditions. In Cambridgeshire, 12 schools were

:02:17.:02:27.
:02:27.:02:30.

closed. They rang me this morning and said, "can you help us out?".

:02:30.:02:35.

It was very difficult to turn it down. They could have done with a

:02:35.:02:38.

snow plough at Stevenage Football Club, where the pitch was being

:02:38.:02:43.

cleared with good old-fashioned elbow grease. I could have joined a

:02:43.:02:49.

gym or do this! Is a small community spirited. The midweek

:02:49.:02:53.

match subject to a pitch inspection tomorrow. In Northampton, the main

:02:53.:03:00.

routes were Clare, and a fault was the problem for drivers, one at

:03:00.:03:07.

this hospital, a consultant has told pedestrians to take care.

:03:07.:03:11.

the warnings go out to motorists. But they don't say anything about

:03:11.:03:18.

being careful on your doorstep, on pavements, in car parks. That is

:03:18.:03:23.

where people fall. With elderly patients, it is often a life-

:03:23.:03:28.

changing issue. They lose their independence, confidence. As the

:03:28.:03:37.

forecasters predicted 6 inches of snow, -- 6 inches of snow fell on

:03:37.:03:41.

Saturday night. In Sunday morning, this lorry driver was struggling to

:03:41.:03:48.

make progress. Some drivers simply abandoned their cars and walked

:03:48.:03:53.

home. The East of England and villains service say calls were up

:03:53.:03:58.

20% over the weekend. Megan was delivered by dad. The midwife

:03:58.:04:03.

couldn't make it because of bad weather. Neighbours stuck a path

:04:03.:04:09.

through the snow to get mum and baby to Basildon hospital. I am so

:04:09.:04:13.

glad mum and baby are doing well. I would like to shake the hands of my

:04:13.:04:20.

neighbours and buy them a drink for helping out. While the snow may

:04:20.:04:24.

have caused inconvenience for some, others, it was a chance to wrap up

:04:24.:04:29.

warm and have some fun. And with temperatures hovering above

:04:29.:04:39.
:04:39.:04:39.

freezing, scenes like this may last for most of the week.

:04:39.:04:44.

Elie -- Ely college say they will be open tomorrow. Many other

:04:44.:04:50.

schools will be working to do the same. As this no turned to slush,

:04:50.:04:55.

and temperatures fall, icy conditions will make many roads and

:04:55.:05:01.

pavements are very slippery indeed. As we have seen, conditions have

:05:01.:05:06.

made driving hazardous, and that means more work for the police.

:05:06.:05:11.

Michael Spender's morning with Norfolk Police traffic officers.

:05:11.:05:17.

It is 7am and cold, but the major roads have been gritted, and the

:05:17.:05:27.
:05:27.:05:28.

traffic is moving. But traffic cops are in a hurry. There is an

:05:28.:05:38.
:05:38.:05:40.

obstruction on the A47. A vehicle has broken down. How why you, Paul?

:05:40.:05:45.

We cannot move it any further unfortunately. But recovery is

:05:45.:05:54.

coming out. Bob and Andy cannot take any risks. The lane is closed.

:05:54.:05:57.

They are looking for drivers who have not played this know from

:05:57.:06:02.

their cars. All right, Madam? Can you clean your car a bit better,

:06:02.:06:12.
:06:12.:06:12.

please? The light, front and back, get this off. The front of your

:06:12.:06:17.

wipers start to win screened means you cannot see. Safety is paramount.

:06:17.:06:21.

Clear all this know of your car before you move. You could risk

:06:21.:06:27.

getting a ticket if you don't, or imprisonment if you kill someone.

:06:27.:06:31.

As the sun comes up, it road conditions improve. The car has

:06:31.:06:36.

taken away by the RAC, and Bob and Mandy, who were expecting a busy

:06:36.:06:43.

morning, know the rush hour could have been it much worse.

:06:43.:06:47.

The good news is that the major routes were kept open, despite

:06:47.:06:53.

third snow. That was because the gritters were out early doing their

:06:53.:06:59.

work. Let us go to Kevin in at Ipswich. It has been non-stop at

:06:59.:07:06.

this centre. There is no let up. The teams have been going out here.

:07:06.:07:12.

They will be out again in the early hours. At us talk to Matthew. You

:07:12.:07:21.

will be going out on the roads in early hours? We well. We will go to

roots are pre- gritted. We use of brine with the sort. It allows the

sort to stick better to the road. It seems to be plaudits all round

work and preparation. We are pleased to have positive feedback.

How other teams bearing up? They are exhausted, but raring to go and

committed to dealing with this. other warning: Just because they

road has been treated, don't go crazy.

:08:18.:08:25.

We can't say we were not warned - this was one they have forecasters

:08:25.:08:33.

predicted. A lot of snow fell We will start off with some amazing

:08:33.:08:40.

pictures. This was the snow falling at in a garden. He recorded 15

:08:40.:08:48.

centimetres, which is six inches! What exactly happened? On Saturday,

:08:48.:08:52.

we had the ongoing battle of mild edge under pressure from the West,

:08:52.:08:58.

and cold air from the east. But ours, it was the cold air which one.

:08:58.:09:03.

And as this rain pushed him from the West, it fell to snow. It was a

:09:03.:09:13.

wide band of snow that crossed. On Sunday, the main band had cleared.

:09:13.:09:23.
:09:23.:09:33.

Is there more snow on the way? I We will be seeing some of your

pictures later. Still to come tonight:

How what you post on your social media sites could affect your job

prospects. And Kim's been with the Queen on a

:09:41.:09:48.

very special anniversary. It has been a bittersweet day for the

:09:48.:09:52.

Queen, on the 60th anniversary on the day she came to the throne, she

:09:52.:10:02.
:10:02.:10:11.

has attended two low key events in It has been it has been a difficult

:10:11.:10:16.

start for the newest rail operator in the region. Snow and ice have

:10:16.:10:22.

brought delays and cancellations. A new dawn on the railways - a

:10:22.:10:26.

Dutch company is now running the trains. Thousands of commuters head

:10:26.:10:32.

here, to Liverpool Street station in London. They complain of

:10:32.:10:36.

overcrowding and delays, and are desperate to see improvements.

:10:36.:10:40.

don't think it represents good value for money. If I want to get a

:10:40.:10:46.

fast train to London, we need a change. What are you hoping for for

:10:46.:10:52.

the new operator? Cleaner trains. This seeds and floors are filthy.

:10:52.:10:56.

It is OK most of the time, but when it is bad, it is bad. What do you

:10:57.:11:05.

think of the rail service? Is that a serious question?! I have to put

:11:05.:11:11.

up with the trials and tribulations every day. The trains a slow, they

:11:11.:11:16.

are uncomfortable and old fashioned. This is the man commuters hope will

:11:16.:11:23.

turn things around. He could have done without the weather. It is a

:11:23.:11:30.

challenging weekend, but today when very well. Most people came in with

:11:30.:11:38.

a reasonable delays. What difference can you make? What

:11:38.:11:44.

people will see is that we have 70 additional people on platforms and

:11:44.:11:49.

trains to provide customer-service to make a save and pleasant journey.

:11:49.:11:57.

Her Abellio's performance will be a monitored. Punctuality and

:11:57.:12:01.

reliability are paramount. Value- for-money it is about having a good,

:12:01.:12:06.

punk short journey, and getting a seat. Abellio said it would do

:12:06.:12:08.

everything it can to make short trains run on time during the

:12:08.:12:12.

Olympics. Essex Police say a schoolboy has

:12:12.:12:15.

been charged with attempting to rob a woman in Westcliff near Southend.

:12:15.:12:18.

A 38-year-old suffered a stab wound to her back during the incident in

:12:19.:12:23.

Balmoral Road on 30 January. A 15- year-old boy has been charged with

:12:23.:12:27.

attempted robbery and possession of an offensive weapon.

:12:27.:12:31.

The leader of the UK Independence Party has been in Norfolk today.

:12:31.:12:34.

Nigel Farage spoke to students at a local sixth form college in Great

:12:34.:12:38.

Yarmouth and had lunch with members of the local business community.

:12:38.:12:41.

He's addressing a meeting in the town tonight where he will claim

:12:41.:12:49.

that public opinion is moving in UKIP's direction. We have been it

:12:49.:12:53.

is saying, clearly and consistently, that the European question will

:12:53.:12:58.

impact on people's everyday lives, and beat open-door immigration

:12:58.:13:02.

policy will have implications for unemployment. Many people are

:13:02.:13:09.

saying, "you kept were right". Norwich City Council have started

:13:09.:13:11.

legal action today against anti capitalist protestors who have set

:13:11.:13:14.

up camp in Hay Hill. The Occupy Norwich campaigners have been given

:13:14.:13:17.

a deadline of Friday evening to leave or face eviction. They say

:13:17.:13:23.

they will not move. If they give us somewhere else to go, maybe we

:13:23.:13:33.
:13:33.:13:33.

would consider it. Week might erect more tense or maybe a warehouse so

:13:33.:13:38.

we can do good for the community. Abnormalities in the brain may make

:13:38.:13:40.

some people more likely to become drug addicts, according to

:13:40.:13:43.

scientists at Cambridge University. Experts wanted to find out if drugs

:13:43.:13:46.

change the wiring of the brain, or if drug addicts are wired

:13:46.:13:48.

differently in the first place. They studied addicts and their

:13:48.:13:57.

siblings, and results suggest the condition can be inherited.

:13:57.:14:01.

Brothers and sisters who do not have addiction problems can tell us

:14:01.:14:08.

how they can overcome these problems. How do they manage self-

:14:08.:14:18.
:14:18.:14:21.

He described it as the best performance since he became manager,

:14:21.:14:24.

Paul Lambert's at the same one despite both -- despite great

:14:24.:14:28.

injury problems. Despite the be shovel, City claimed their second

:14:28.:14:32.

green -- second clean sheet of the campaign.

:14:32.:14:36.

Norwich have rarely disappointed since he took charge. Last week's

:14:36.:14:40.

loss at Sunderland is as much a surprise as anything. To restore

:14:40.:14:45.

self-belief, a response was needed. The fans got it. The winner was

:14:45.:14:50.

crucial, but? They cost. The first man down suffered a hamstring

:14:50.:14:57.

injury. -- the when was crucial, but came at a cost.

:14:57.:15:02.

Another defender also got injured. No wonder Paul Lambert looks

:15:02.:15:08.

concerned. Widespread left the field, and Norwich boasted

:15:08.:15:14.

incredible spirit and talent. Grant hold should have put the game to

:15:14.:15:20.

bet, no matter, Anthony Pilkington reacted first to make it 2-0.

:15:20.:15:26.

Pilkington has made the game safe for Norwich City!

:15:26.:15:32.

We have two full backs to play centre half. They are not the

:15:32.:15:40.

tallest of lad. That puts them on the back foot. The desire and the

:15:40.:15:44.

weight they played the game was great. Fans return to Harrow Road

:15:44.:15:48.

today hunting for tickets, still buzzing from Saturday. It was

:15:48.:15:52.

absolutely fantastic. One of the best games I have ever seen at

:15:52.:15:58.

Harrow Road. The players they brought on did a fantastic job.

:15:58.:16:03.

think that is the one that really put us into the Premiership. Eight

:16:03.:16:07.

more points needed, that is all. And you are confident they can

:16:07.:16:12.

survive? Easily. It may not be too easily, but

:16:12.:16:18.

Norwich are certainly on track. Breathing space at last for Ipswich

:16:18.:16:22.

in the championship. There win over Coventry means they are 19th, 10

:16:22.:16:27.

points clear of the relegation zone. Coventry are rooted to the bottom.

:16:27.:16:31.

Jay Emmanuel-Thomas put town in front, before Coventry hit back and

:16:31.:16:38.

took the lead. Buoyed by last week's 5-1 win over West Ham. We

:16:38.:16:43.

Maarten's penalty was saved, and Michael Chopra scored the rebound.

:16:43.:16:47.

At which's won from chopper came five minutes into stoppage time.

:16:47.:16:51.

came back in the second half and I thought we were the best team in

:16:51.:16:59.

the second half. We dominated and had the best opportunities.

:16:59.:17:02.

League 2, Paul Sturrock was critical of his Southend players.

:17:02.:17:06.

Michael Timlin had put them in front in the first minute. David

:17:06.:17:12.

Martin then doubled the lead, but they all make managed a draw after

:17:12.:17:17.

their opponents scored twice in the second half. I am gutted for the

:17:17.:17:20.

supporters who travelled. We dominated the first half and then

:17:20.:17:25.

change their ideas in how we should play the game. Passing the ball in

:17:25.:17:29.

difficult conditions in the second half. We came off the pace and paid

:17:29.:17:35.

steely for it. We dropped points before the end of the season. We

:17:35.:17:40.

need to make sure that our home form improves. Our away form has

:17:40.:17:45.

not been the best. Add in Late Kick Off tonight, there is a special

:17:45.:17:48.

look at the role of sponsorship place in football. He can learn

:17:49.:17:54.

about its history and how it has changed the face of the game. BBC 1

If you use Facebook or Twitter, are you worried about the amount of

:18:18.:18:22.

information you may have shared on them? And does it matter?

:18:22.:18:26.

sister programme Inside Out has been finding out if what you say

:18:26.:18:29.

about yourself and your internet footprint could stop you getting a

:18:29.:18:35.

dream job. This is long enough. IDC works well

:18:35.:18:39.

for Aviva, and is very keen to break into the world of marketing

:18:39.:18:43.

and design. By night, she is very active on the internet, one plenty

of social networks. Wall, and she is also taking part in the beetle

feeds of Miss Universe. If you could call on that, you will

:18:53.:18:57.

find plenty of other things on the various social networks States.

:18:58.:19:01.

With hundreds of Facebook friends and over 1,600 people following her

:19:01.:19:07.

on Twitter, as Laura concern over how what she shares may affect the

:19:07.:19:10.

career prospects? I have not really thought about it that much. I do

:19:10.:19:14.

think that I am fairly positive on all of the social media networks

:19:14.:19:18.

that I am on. I would not think that it would detract from the

:19:18.:19:23.

possibly getting a job in the future. I would hope not, anyway.

:19:23.:19:27.

The prospective employers look you up? This woman recruits for one of

:19:27.:19:31.

the world's largest PR and marketing firms. I would always

look on a lent 10, the number one professional network. And death at

:19:36.:19:40.

the Twitter as well, and maybe Facebook, too. He would look across

:19:40.:19:45.

the board? Very often I would to an initial interview with someone

:19:45.:19:50.

based on their online profile, while waiting on their CV. It is

:19:50.:19:54.

important to find out more about people's background and interests.

:19:54.:19:58.

This would always be in line with our normal recruitment process.

:19:58.:20:02.

What can you do to make sure to do not share too much and give people

:20:02.:20:08.

the right first impression? If you are looking for a job and using

:20:08.:20:12.

such a media for a business, he must think of how it will look for

:20:12.:20:15.

an employer or from a business point of view. Does it look

:20:15.:20:19.

professional? At his fight to have personality, but if you would not

:20:19.:20:24.

see it to someone's face, do not see it on social media. What about

:20:24.:20:29.

Laurette? Does her experts think he has over share? What does she think

:20:29.:20:33.

of her one-time reputation and use of such a media? You are clearly

:20:33.:20:38.

very committed to social media. That is fantastic. I know that you

:20:38.:20:42.

are really keen to get into the design industry, that is a passion

:20:42.:20:46.

of years. As a recruiter, I cannot see that through your online

:20:46.:20:52.

reputation. -- the Passion of years. Warren must make sure she talks

:20:52.:20:57.

more about the industry that interests her. -- Laura must make

:20:57.:21:00.

sure. Be few are online, due must be

:21:00.:21:06.

really careful just what you share. You can see more on that story on

tonight's programme. I am behind the times, and you are

:21:12.:21:15.

ahead of it. The big celebrations will not

:21:15.:21:20.

happen until June, but today is the official anniversary of the Queen's

adapted her role throughout are those is 60 years in a very sure-

matchless contribution to our economy and brought enjoyment too

Many onlookers remembered the momentous days. I remember standing

:22:48.:22:53.

in my pushchair at the gates, to see the train go by. I remember my

:22:53.:22:56.

mother saying, remembered what is happening, because that is a big

:22:56.:23:02.

occasion. The news a ran around the playground, the king is dead, the

king is dead! I remember thinking, that cannot be right times the not
