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
