Say And Veteran MP Tim Yeo is shown the door by his own party. After 30 | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
years as the MP, local Conservatives in Suffolk vote to replace him. If | :00:11. | :00:18. | |
you or appointed to the House of to represent us, do that job above | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
everything else, otherwise, why do you go into the house? | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
Hello and welcome to Look East with Susie and me. | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
After that de`selection vote in South Suffolk, we get live reaction | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
from the constituency which accused its MP of being "virtually | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
invisible". Also tonight: No end in sight to the soggy weather in Essex. | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
Today, the experts said we will have to get used to scenes like this. We | :00:40. | :00:48. | |
have had four incidents where motorists have driven into | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
floodwater and our crews have had to carry out rescues. | :00:52. | :00:53. | |

Hello. East Anglia's longest serving MP Tim Yeo has lost his battle to | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
regain his seat at the next election. The Conservative MP for | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
South Suffolk was de`selected as a candidate after a vote among local | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
party members. Mr Yeo was at Conservative | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
party headquarters in London when he learned his status before 330 this | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
afternoon. Nearly 500 local Conservatives had taken part in the | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
vote. He was first elected in 1983 and has held the seat at six general | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
elections. But many people believe he spent too much time away from | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
South Suffolk dealing with other interests. Some say he had become | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
"virtually invisible." Today Mr Yeo said, "it had been a privilege to | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
serve as the MP for South Suffolk". In a moment, Kevin Burch with | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
reaction from the heart of the constituency. But first, our | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
political correspondent Andrew Sinclair at Westminster. | :01:59. | :02:09. | |
Until last week, just for Conservative MPs had ever been | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
deselected by their parties. Then on Friday, association members in | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
Thirsk got rid of and Macintosh. Today, Tim Yeo became the sixth MP | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
to be dropped by his local as is using. They wanted a change. He did | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
not want to go. He said he wanted the membership to judge him on his | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
record. Well, they did. This is not how Mr Yeo or even many of his | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
detractors wanted to see his career end. After 30 years as an MP, after | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
winning the same seat on seven occasions, Mr Yeo has spent the last | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
hour trying to put a brave face on his defeat. It was a knife edge | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
result, but I respect the outcome, and of course, I would give my full | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
support to my successor, whoever that is. But after 30 years as an | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
MP, surely it should not end this way. Well, if you take part in | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
democracies, you don't know how elections will tailor. Sometimes you | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
win and sometimes you'll use. At lunchtime today, he snuck into the | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
back of Conservative Party headquarters, avoiding the media. He | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
watched as the 500 votes were verified and then counted. Three and | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
a half hours later, the news was delivered via e`mail. South Suffolk | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
had dropped to their MP. Mr Yeo has spent the last month campaigning | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
hard to hold onto his job. He set up his website, on which dozens of MPs | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
and friends pledged support. He said he was proud of his voting record | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
and happy to be judged on it. I think there is overwhelming evidence | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
about the effective role I have played in Parliament and in South | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
Suffolk. Do you accept that you could have done more in your | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
constituency and been seen them or? I have had a home there for 31 | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
years, I have let campaigns to keep health service operating, took place | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
in a joint campaign to stop the 814 being extended, its part in a | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
campaign against electricity pylons. Anyone interested in those | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
issues will know I done the best possible job. He told me he will do | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
their continue to work at Fritz constituency over the next 15 | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
months. The urgent task of finding a new candidate now begins. So why did | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
they get rid of him? Ever since the expenses scandal, I think people's | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
expectations of MPs have changed. I was speaking to a member of the | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
local executive the other week who said we look at the neighbouring | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
constituencies and young MPs like Ben Gummer and Matthew Hancock who | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
are always in Parliament, always jumping up and down championing | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
local issues in the house, in the local media a lark, and on | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
constituency days, they always seem to have a full diary. We want a bit | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
of that. I think the tragedy of this whole thing, however, is the party | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
really wanted Tim Yeo to go quietly. There were a lot of discussions last | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
year saying, please retire gracefully ugly with your head held | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
high. He did not listen. Thank you very much. Today's outcome | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
brings the curtain down on a political career spanning 30 years. | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
Mr Yeo reached ministerial office, but had a bumpy ride along the way. | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
Mr Tim Yeo. Let's hear what they are saying | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
politician who is always courted controversy. An environment minister | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
under John Major, he was forced to resign in 1994 after it was revealed | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
he had had an affair and the child of the Conservative councillor. | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
Conservatives in South Suffolk have not been ripped to the national | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
spotlight. Despite the outcry, his constituency said by him. He was | :05:34. | :05:42. | |
seen as very much of the politician. Now he will have much more | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
opportunity to be constituency in peoples in opposition, he had | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
several studied cabinet roles, but in 2005, he suddenly stood down. | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
Over the years, he has become an expert on, particularly renewable | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
energy. Good morning, thank you for coming in. He became chair of the | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
influential energy select committee, and more controversially, developed | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
a number of outside business interest in the energy market. Are | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
you able to ask questions? I didn't want to tell them in advance what he | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
should say. The Sunday Times alleged he had offered his services to help | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
energy companies within Parliament. He was cleared of wrongdoing, but | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
boasting about his influence did not luck good while in his constituency, | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
there were regular complaints he had become an absent MP. I take very | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
seriously the need to reduce greenhouse gases. Friends of Mr Yeo | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
say that behind`the`scenes, he was very low and shall in fighting for | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
improvements in the Ambulance Service, campaigning against the 814 | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
toll road and removing the head of Suffolk County Council. I am quite | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
happy to be judged on my record on what I have done in South Suffolk, | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
what I do in Westminster for Parliament under the Conservative | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
Party, and I'm quite confident that my record, if people see that, they | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
will reach the verdict I hope, which is that they will reselect me. Tim | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
Yeo says he is proud of what he has done, but as local parties seem to | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
feel it is time for a change. Let's see what they are seeing | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
tonight in his constituency. Kevin Burch is in Sudbury. Yes, I think it | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
is interesting as veteran MP was not beaten at the ballot box but by his | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
own backers. It was very telling this morning in the constituency, | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
even those close to him who supported him did not think this was | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
a battle he could win. Critics say this was not a sudden uprising, but | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
it had been going on for months. They had told him privately to do | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
more, to engage more. They felt he had not got the message. This man | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
was described as a force to be reckoned with here is a force no | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
more. For the past 30 years here, this area has been part of Tim Yeo | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
country. He has a house in the village, but he is also divided | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
opinion among locals, with critics saying he simply hasn't been visible | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
enough. If you are appointed to the House of Commons to represent us or | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
whoever, in that job above everything else. If a younger man | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
comes along, even Boris Johnson, just think that would be great. Alec | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
Gardner runs the local store and has been a very public supporter of the | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
MP. I am a similar age to Tim Yeo, and I don't think I've had it yet, | :08:25. | :08:32. | |
and a lot of the people on the committee are older than him and | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
they are making the decision. Perhaps it is them who stood down. | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
This patch takes in Somerset at's most beautiful countryside. There | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
are two main centres of population, Hadley and Sudbury. There are 70,000 | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
people in this constituency. It was created to boundary changes, and in | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
1983, Tim Yeo was elected as its first MP. He has won every election | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
since. This has always been his constituency, and that explains why | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
this moment is so significant. For this business men, that moment take | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
ever closer. As deputy chairman of the Conservative Party in South | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
Suffolk, he wanted Tim Yeo out, and ten minutes before the official | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
announcement, he got the outcome of the vote by text message from | :09:17. | :09:24. | |
Westminster. He is out. There you go. Be selected by his local | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
association, who criticised him for being virtually invisible. That is | :09:28. | :09:34. | |
about it. Simon Barrett, the deputy chairman of the local party, looks | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
pretty happy there. Let's talk to him now. Are you happy you're | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
disappointed? Iron disappointed with the whole process, really. But you | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
are happy that you now have a chance to move forward? Yes, exactly. I | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
think we have a good opportunity to select a new candidate and move | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
forward in South Suffolk. How would you best describe the relationship | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
between your organisation and Mr Yeo? Professional. I don't think it | :10:04. | :10:13. | |
has been friendly for probably the last two or three years. What is the | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
worst thing he has done? What has upset you the most? Nothing that you | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
can really put your finger on. I think it is just his lack of | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
visibility. A lot of members felt that we needed a little more input, | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
and South Suffolk and suffered generally being a blue area, it | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
really hasn't had infrastructure investment, and I think we would | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
have liked to have seen that coming through. So the wind turbines and | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
Same Sex Marriage Bill bait is not why you have fallen out with him? | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
Well, Same Sex Marriage Bill not apply to me. My gay son is getting | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
married in December, so that is not really an issue. Some of your other | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
members of the local organisation do not like that. Well, they do not. | :11:04. | :11:11. | |
But equally, some people don't have an issue with it. I think, | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
fortunately, that was not an issue that should be brought up. Who would | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
you like to see... We saw Boris Johnson's name there. That will not | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
happen. Who would you like to see in his place? I think basically, we | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
want someone who is going to represent South Suffolk, get some | :11:32. | :11:38. | |
infrastructure measures in place. These things need a lot of lobbying | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
in Westminster, and I think we probably missed out a bit on that. | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
Do you believe now that Mr Yeo should have back down a lot sooner | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
and save the party a lot of this embarrassment? Yes, I think so. I | :11:52. | :11:59. | |
had lunch with Tim in September, and I said quite clearly to him that the | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
feeling was that it was time to go. Many people were saying that. Would | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
you like to pay tribute to the work he has done for your constituency? | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
Yes, I think absolutely. Anyone who puts in 30 years of their life into | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
an area, he has done a lot of good things. And a lot of people have | :12:20. | :12:28. | |
very good words for him. His constituency MP `` as a constituency | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
MP in the past, he has done good things for individuals. Thank you | :12:33. | :12:33. | |
for being with us. A councillor in Essex has been found | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
guilty of breaching conduct rules after sending a tweet which it was | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
claimed was racist. Danny Mayzes suggested scenes in a violent film | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
called Machete were the best way to deal with immigration issues. He | :12:45. | :12:46. | |
represents the Conservatives on Tendring District Council and has | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
now apologised to his colleagues in a letter. | :12:50. | :12:56. | |
Still to come: An amazing debut in the six Nations full Luther Burrell. | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
Plus, the remarkable sound of a pianist | :13:01. | :13:10. | |
with one hand. The Environment Agency has been | :13:11. | :13:18. | |
defending itself today over complaints about its handling of the | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
flooding crisis in Somerset. And closer to home, the Agency has | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
repeated its assertion that it cannot afford to defend all of the | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
areas prone to flooding. As you can see from this weather map, produced | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
by The Met Office, parts of Essex have been deluged in recent weeks, | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
and today many areas around the river Chelmer are still under flood | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
water. So, what can be done here? Alex Dunlop has tonight's special | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
report. When a site like this or this | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
prompts a weary sigh, you know this is an issue which will not go away | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
soon. In Essex, some drivers braved floodwaters. More than half a dozen | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
had to be rescued from their vehicles. I would really ask | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
motorists, stop and look at water, and think can you get through it? | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
The fact you have stopped indicate you probably can't. Turn around and | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
go another way. Meanwhile, in Cambridgeshire, this farmer says the | :14:14. | :14:15. | |
flood water is threatening to ruin his livelihood and that of others. | :14:16. | :14:22. | |
If we get a larger flood or more rain, the site will flood. It is | :14:23. | :14:30. | |
just absolutely common sense. The weather has been exceptional. Part | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
of the fans have seen three times the average rainfall for January. | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
Because of this rapidly changing Atlantic pattern, there is no time | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
for the water to drain away, so you end up with one lot of water falling | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
on the soil to keep it saturated and the next lot of rain comes through, | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
and it can't go anywhere but run straight up into the rivers drains, | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
and cause the stress on the water management systems. Long`term | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
solutions are planned. This weekend, the Ireland agency showed off a ?28 | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
million defence scheme for Great Yarmouth. Another is on the cards | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
babes which. But today, the agency chairman said there is no bottomless | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
purse. We could face a stark choice Dashti protect town or country from | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
flooding. How do you decide whether to build fences and where to | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
prioritise? Recently, the drive has been around protecting prebuilt | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
property, but making those kind of decisions, we are also mindful of | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
the commercial benefits defence schemes can bring, not only | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
protecting properties but also jobs. Some experts say which is that back | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
and take the long view, and it is not good news. Since the last ice | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
age, written has actually seesawed so that Scotland has been rising and | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
East Anglia has sunk by several millimetres per year. Scotland is | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
still rising and East Anglia is still sinking. Is a noticeable in | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
our lifetimes? There is a measurable change every year, and that is | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
making the local sea level rise and making that more of a problem in | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
East Anglia than elsewhere in the country. Ultimately, it is | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
politicians who designed where our defences go. They are about to | :16:05. | :16:11. | |
announce next year's flood protection budget. The government | :16:12. | :16:12. | |
engineers and environmentalists acknowledge that some places may | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
have to be sacrificed so that others can be saved. | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
A wealthy businessman from Norfolk is being touted tonight as the next | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
chairman of the education watchdog Ofsted. The speculation was | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
triggered by the removal of the current chairman Sally Morgan. That | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
decision, by the Education Secretary Michael Gove, has led to claims of | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
cronyism. The first name connected with the vacancy is Theodore Agnew. | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
He is the founder of a chain of new academy schools in Norfolk and | :16:40. | :16:48. | |
Suffolk and a Tory supporter. He is little highly influential, and | :16:49. | :16:55. | |
he founded the Inspiration Trust, which runs seven academy schools | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
across Norfolk. Now he is also one of the front runners to become the | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
new head of Ofsted. The son of a Norfolk farmer, Mr Agnew was a Tory | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
party donor and in 2010, he advised Michael Gove, with whom he is a keen | :17:07. | :17:13. | |
supporter. He is a most remarkable man, and he has come into education | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
with a real mission to raise educational standards. It is the | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
only job he wanted to do in governments, and he is making a | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
difference. The Ofsted jobs available because Michael Gove has | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
ousted the current occupant, Labour peer Baroness Morgan. She has called | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
the decision politically motivated. Like Mr Gove, Mr Agnew is a firm | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
believer in the academy system and strong leadership in schools. That | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
goes to the heart of the problem. Good leadership in schools is what | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
tends them around, and that is what I am absolutely focused on in our | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
trust, that we will have really good leaders, and that is what will lift | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
the standards. With the prospect of someone so close to government | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
heading Ofsted, that has not done down well with teachers, and their | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
union said it would oppose his appointment. The appointment of | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
someone like Theodore Agnew raises very serious concerns about how | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
independent Ofsted will continue to be. There are already concerns about | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
how it operates, but to put in someone so closely linked with | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
government really does raise questions about whether it cannot | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
break effectively in an independent manner. So far, Mr Agnew has not | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
commented on the speculation about the Ofsted role, but for many, his | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
closeness to Mr Gove and his conservative credentials mean he is | :18:31. | :18:32. | |
very much a front runner. Right, let's have a look at the | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
sport. If you watched the rugby this weekend, you will know the name of | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
Luther Burrell. Yes, the Northampton centre played a starring role in the | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
Six Nations epic in Paris. Watching the game for us was Tom Williams. | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
Indeed. As debuts go, it was a heartbreaking | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
one for Northampton Saints' Luther Burrell, in the Six Nations on | :18:51. | :18:52. | |
Saturday. He's received widespread praise helping England launch an | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
astonishing comeback from 16`3 down, scoring under the posts, only to be | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
cruelly denied as France scored the match`winning try, two minutes from | :19:00. | :19:10. | |
time. From cold nights playing for Rotherham at Sedgley Park to an | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
England debut in the Calder another Stade de France. Luther Burrell's | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
rise to the red Rose has attracted plenty of headlines, but there was | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
no room for romance in Paris. The French flair was back. England were | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
in trouble. At half`time, it couldn't come soon enough. Luther | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
regrouped alongside his team`mates, and within minutes, he was living | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
the dream, running under the posts to give England and unlike the | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
lead. Few had heard of Luther Burrell when he signed a few years | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
ago. He failed to secure a premiership first`team place, and | :19:45. | :19:46. | |
had even been loaned out to championship clubs, but the Saints | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
thought he was worth something. It proved a wise investment. Watching | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
back home, a former team`mate who had watched England beat the French | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
during the 90s. He was one of many impressed by his turnaround in | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
fortunes. He did what has he has been doing well all season. He took | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
the ball, had a great physical presence, did not look fazed at all. | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
I have no doubt this will be his only cap. Sadly, the dream was not | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
to last. A late change saw him move to the wing, and England took | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
advantage of the defensive confusion. It was a cruel and to an | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
unforgiving match. We are in that game, we have a few phases together, | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
we played well, we made a couple of errors, we didn't go off to the gate | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
is the start, but we are very disappointed. On the flip side, | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
France were fantastic. They really came at us, and fair play to them | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
for getting a try at the end. It just shows you can't shut off before | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
80 minutes. A frenetic finish to a memorable match, but an unlucky | :20:46. | :20:46. | |
loser. Now to football, and Norwich, along | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
with Newcastle, have been charged by the FA for failing to control their | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
players during last week's Premier League match. Bradley Johnson and | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
Loic Remy were both sent off after a scuffle involving several players. | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
Johnson's ban was overturned. The clubs have until 6pm on Wednesday to | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
respond to the charge. Now from one scrap to another, and | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
City's fight for survival. The bare facts make pretty grim reading. In | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
24 league games, Norwich have scored 19 times ` less than a goal a game. | :21:12. | :21:18. | |
They've failed to score at all on nine occasions. In the two games | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
against Cardiff this season, they've had a whopping 58 shots, scoring | :21:23. | :21:29. | |
just once. 27 of those efforts came at Cardiff on Saturday, with Robert | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
Snodgrass scoring after just five minutes but in just 80 seconds after | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
the break, the home side turned the game on its head. | :21:37. | :21:38. | |
just once. 27 of those efforts came at Craig Bellamy with the first. | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
Kenwyne Jones made it 2`1. Norwich came agonisingly close to snatching | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
a deserved equaliser but defeat means they've slipped to 15th, with | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
just one win in nine. Two points clear of the drop zone. I don't | :21:51. | :22:01. | |
think you could fall to our efforts in trying to get back in the game | :22:02. | :22:03. | |
and think you could fall to our efforts | :22:04. | :22:04. | |
in trying to get back in trying to get that equaliser and possibly a | :22:05. | :22:06. | |
winner. Their goalkeeper had a good day, but if we make mistakes like we | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
did, we have got to be scoring goals, and we are finding that at | :22:13. | :22:14. | |
moment. The transfer window might have | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
closed but many of our teams with smaller budgets are counting the | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
days before the loan window re`opens. MK Dons need a new striker | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
after going 324 minutes without a goal. They've lost their last three | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
games including Saturday's 1`0 defeat against Tranmere. The | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
manager's desperate for more firepower in a bid to make the | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
play`offs. Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy praised | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
David McGoldrick after he scored the only goal in Saturday's win over | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
Bolton. The striker converted a penalty ` his 15th of the season ` | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
keeping Ipswich in the Championship play`off race. | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
And Paula Radcliffe is targeting one final appearance at the London | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
Marathon. She's 40 now. The Bedford runner withdrew from the London | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
Olympics because of injury but she says she probably only ask her foot | :22:57. | :22:59. | |
to do one more marathon, which she hopes might be London next year. | :23:00. | :23:06. | |

Wilder's first point as Northampton boss, plus a list of all this week's | :23:10. | :23:18. | |
fixtures. Thank you very much. The breakfast | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
show on BBC Essex has a new presenter. James Whale has taken | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
over from Ray Clark, who's moved to an afternoon slot. He has worked in | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
radio and television for 40 years, including spells at LBC and Talk | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
Radio. He says he's delighted with his new role at BBC Essex. When you | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
come on the breakfast show the day is new. It is a new Day dawning, and | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
I get to deliver the latest news, talk to the people who are making | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
the news, usually before anyone else, and you will hear them here | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
first on BBC Essex. And now, the weather. | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
Thank you. It hasn't been a bad day. Plus three times, with the | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
winds gusting. But a great deal of sunshine, especially in the east. | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
More cloud in the West, as the weather front moves slowly towards | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
us, but it still has a way to go. We start fine and dry with some clear | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
spells, but eventually that pushes in from the West. Most of it light | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
and patchy, though we cannot rule out the odd heavy burst. Behind | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
that, dry skies with some clear spells, and under the clear skies, | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
the lowest temperatures later on in the night towards dawn, possibly | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
down to two Celsius or even lower in some spots. The potential for icy | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
patches for some of us and a bit of frost, but not everywhere. The rain | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
perhaps holds on until first light. Then tomorrow, the weather front | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
pulls away, taking the last of the rain with it. There's the area of | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
low pressure brings some wet and windy weather. More about that in a | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
minute, but tomorrow, the between two systems, and not a bad day. | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
Largely fine and dry. We are likely to see a few showers moving | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
through, but for most of us a dry day with some brightness and | :25:02. | :25:03. | |
sunshine at times. Temperatures not doing too badly, up to around eight | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
Celsius in some places, that is 46 Fahrenheit, so close, it not above | :25:10. | :25:16. | |
average for the time of year. We start with light winds, but by the | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
afternoon, a moderate to fresh southerly, so quite blustery | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
afternoon. Any showers will rattle through quite quickly in the second | :25:24. | :25:26. | |
half of the day. We finished largely fine and dry, give or take one or | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
two showers. But Tuesday night, later on, and into Wednesday | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
morning, we expect some wet and windy weather to arrive. The winds | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
are strong, perhaps gale force at time around the coast, with gusts of | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
around 50 miles an hour. That the moment, the strongest winds are | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
expected during the early hours of Wednesday morning and afternoon. | :25:51. | :25:53. | |
Wednesday of self, as well as the wind I mentioned and rain, it is | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
likely to be heavier, and Babs Jaya slots before some more heavy rain | :25:58. | :26:00. | |
later in the day. A pretty awful day, and one we are watching. More | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
details tomorrow. Hopefully by Thursday, that really wet and windy | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
weather will be out of the way. A quieter day, still quite blustery, | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
but the Windies is to a moderate fresh south`westerly, and Thursday | :26:15. | :26:16. | |
is looking largely fine and dry with just a scattering of showers. Friday | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
is looking dry, lighter winds still, although we are watching an area of | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
low pressure at the moment. It should stay to the south, keeping | :26:26. | :26:27. | |
the rain there. We will keep you posted. Thank you very much. | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
Before we go, a quick mention about tonight's Inside Out. | :26:34. | :26:35. | |
It features a remarkable musician called Nicholas McCarthy from | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
Colchester. Nicholas is a very gifted pianist, even though he only | :26:39. | :26:39. | |
has one hand. called Nicholas McCarthy from | :26:40. | :26:41. | |
