Good evening. More now on the sighting of a lion by holidaymakers | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
near Clacton-on-Sea in Essex. As we have heard, Essex Police called-off | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
their search this afternoon. They say they think it was a domestic | :00:21. | :00:31. | |
cat or a wild cat. Our reporter is in St Osyth now. | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
This is the entrance to a form where the beast, whatever it was, | :00:36. | :00:42. | |
was first spotted. How has the great Essex lion hunt unfolded? It | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
started at 7pm last night when Essex police were told that a wife | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
and had been seen in a field year. A firearms team and helicopter were | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
scrambled. The search went on through the night. One resident | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
said they had seen paw prints. Another said he had heard a loud | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
roar. But the search was called on -- called off this afternoon. The | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
police think it was either a large domestic cat or a wild cat. | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
Holidaymakers here remain absolutely convinced that they saw | :01:15. | :01:25. | |
:01:25. | :01:26. | ||
alive and. -- the sort a lion. It was weird. I saw a very large cat. | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
I got the binoculars and it stood up and looked at us. It was a lie | :01:32. | :01:42. | |
and. Rumours there was a lion on will this year caused something of | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
his stare. The experts always sounded a note of scepticism. The | :01:46. | :01:55. | |
photograph was shown to Amman at Colchester Zoo. It is very | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
difficult to say one way or another what a photograph is. It is a | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
blurred image taken at a distance. The police were correct to treated | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
with caution, but it is difficult to be conclusive. Did you have an | :02:08. | :02:16. | |
instinct about what it might be? The photograph is so indistinct | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
that although one wants to her on the side of caution, it is very | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
difficult to give a positive identification as to what it could | :02:23. | :02:31. | |
be. Was this great searched really necessary? Essex Police said that | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
public safety was always at the forefront of their operation and | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
are advising people to return to normal life. After all the | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
excitement here, I don't think seemed also us will ever be the | :02:45. | :02:52. | |
same again. -- I don't think this town will ever be the same again. | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
One woman has life threatening injuries and another's been taken | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
to hospital after being attacked by burglars in Lowestoft. Police were | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
called to the house on Cambridge Road in the early hours of this | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
morning. They say two people forced their way inside and assaulted the | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
women stealing cash, jewellery and a handbag. | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
A council has been accused of mocking the Olympic legacy after | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
the closure of a sports centre. The land at Desborough in | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
Northamptonshire will be used for new housing but there is a promise | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
that a new leisure centre nearby will be much better. | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
This leisure centre says it all. Inspire a generation. You saw | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
people get so involved in the Olympics. When the site goes, you | :03:32. | :03:40. | |
cannot get it back. The site is now earmarked for 100 new homes. But | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
they have been provided with some new facility is. We will have to | :03:44. | :03:52. | |
squash courts and an outside changing area for football pitches. | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
With the phase completed, it will give us a far larger building and | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
leisure centre than we had previously. The question is when | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
the money will be secured. And when will building work begin. | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
The Paralympic flame has been making its way through parts of the | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
region today. It has been in Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire | :04:12. | :04:19. | |
ahead of the games which start on Thursday. | :04:19. | :04:27. | |
The Paralympics are days away. Excitement for the event is growing. | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
It has been fantastic. You can sense that it is building and | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
building. People cannot wait for the activity to start. It is good | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
for disabled people throughout the country. Athletes perform some | :04:42. | :04:52. | |
:04:52. | :04:53. | ||
breathtaking dives. The Olympics has prompted a lot of interest in | :04:53. | :05:00. | |
its new sports. This has been fantastic. Later, the Church -- the | :05:00. | :05:09. | |
torch was that this rise of four. - - the torch came to a local | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
reservoir. I thought it was fantastic. The Paralympics will be | :05:15. | :05:22. | |
as spectacular as the Olympics. crowds jeered it on its way. Just | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
as they will cheer up the athletes as they will cheer up the athletes | :05:25. | :05:32. | |
competing at the Games. We have had fairly cloudy skies | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
across the region today. There are some weather fronts responsible for | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
this. The first one brought some patchy rain. A cold front will | :05:41. | :05:50. | |
bring more persistent rain overnight. This evening, some spots | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
of rain in places. Becoming persistent and heavy overnight. | :05:55. | :06:03. | |
Under cloudy skies, it will stay mild. Temperatures tonight will be | :06:03. | :06:10. | |
between 14 and 17. The winds will die down. Cloudy skies to start | :06:10. | :06:18. | |
tomorrow. We will see some sunshine coming out. Temperatures will climb | :06:18. | :06:25. | |
into the twenties. Mostly light south-westerly winds. Where we have | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
the thicker cloud, we could get the odd isolated shower. Most places | :06:29. | :06:38. | |
should get away with a dry or bright afternoon. There will be | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
further spells of rain for Wednesday and Thursday. It will | :06:43. | :06:53. | |
:06:53. | :06:53. | ||
improve by the end of the week and into next weekend. Wednesday will | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
start dry and bright. Scattered showers to start with on Thursday | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
but becoming dry air through the day. Temperatures will be cool. On | :07:05. | :07:10. |
