Hello. More details are emerging this evening about the thred anglers

who died in a boating tragedy off the coast at Lowestoft this week.

Friends of the victims described them as a happy trio, who enjoyed

going out to sea. They set off on Monday for a fishing trip. None of

them had a life jacket on. Only one of the bodies has been recovered.

Today, marine safety experts urged people to observe the safetx

Today, marine safety experts urged people to observe the safety rules

before leaving shore. Let's get the full details now from Alex Dunlop.

Even on a calm night like this of Lowestoft, with a calm sea, it is

still pretty bleak and cold. Two days on, there is frankly little

days on, there is frankly lhttle realistic hope that the two men who

are missing will be found alive. For their families, it must be `n

their families, it must be an especially harrowing time. Today,

prayers were said by Great Yarmouth's port chaplain for all

three men, who set out on Monday morning on what should have been a

relaxing boat trip. Word got out quickly that Pdter

Word got out quickly that Peter Chambers and his two friends had

been on the speedboat which capsized off Lowestoft. Stephen and Keith

told me that the ad had a drink together with them only the day

before. IT is heartbreaking for everybody involved. I spoke to him

on Sunday and was having a drink with him. I drink with all of them.

The next day, they have gond. with him. I drink with all of them.

The next day, they have gone. It is The next day, they have gone. It is

full destroying. Yarmouth is a small net community. Especially alongst

the fishermen and people. They are lovely people, absolutely lovely

people. Andy was a lovely lad, big people. Andy was a lovely lad, big

like that. Unbelievable. Any idea what happened? No idea. I c`nnot

explain it. It is out of the blue, explain it. It is out of thd blue,

is it not? The body of Peter Chambers, 43, was found voting in

the water on Monday afternoon. His friends have not been visually named

but are known locally as Andy, in his 40s, and Malcolm, in his late

70s. Despite an extensive sdarch, 70s. Despite an extensive sdarch,

they have not been fine. It is thought might have been fishing but

nobody is sure. Fishing tackle, this man said, could have got tangled in

the propeller, which had bedn the propeller, which had been

damaged. You can then start shipping water over any part of the boat and

they have to run to one sidd or the other or get themselves into a

lived in a flat in this guesthouse. He had recently fractured his leg.

He had recently fractured hhs leg. Police are still trying to trace

family members who have yet to contact them. He had been wdaring a

down in the water. Add a local training Centre, Tom showed me how

buoyancy aids can keep you `float buoyancy aids can keep you afloat

but do not keep your head above water. So you can see, Tom just

cannot be rated. I'm going to put a life jacket on him and see what

happens. This is the jacket which safety experts say must be taken out

to sea. In the unfortunate circumstance that you're in the

water, it will flip you into the red position so you're your ways will be

clear and it will keep you in the right position and to your rescue.

`` it will flip the end of the right position so you can breathe.

Tonight, the Coast Guard are urging Tonight, the Coast Guard ard urging

people that if they find anybody on people that if they find anxbody on

the shoreline, yet a Fender or item of clothing, to let police now. It

could prove vital to the investigation.

Thank you very much. The poultry company Bernard Matthews

is hoping to slash its fuel bill by installing biomass boilers at its

main sites in Norfolk and Stffolk. main sites in Norfolk and Stffolk.

The company is spending ?24 million on the boilers. Eventually, they

will burn poultry litter to make energy.

Bernard Matthews has 56 turkey farms across Norfolk, Suffolk and

Lincolnshire. At the moment, the turkey sheds are heated using liquid

petroleum gas. Soon, 179 biomass boilers will be installed at 21

farms, burning wood chip. In simple terms, they would chip is used as a

fuel, it goes into the boildr which fuel, it goes into the boiler which

he's hot water which goes around the sheds and heat them in a very

generic way. Actually, it hdats sheds and heat them in a very

generic way. Actually, it heats it generic way. Actually, it heats it

in a form or even when comp`red generic way. Actually, it hdats it

in a form or even when compared to in a form or even when compared to

the gas heaters that we had historically. Biomass boilers have

been around for some time. Typically they burn straw would. The boiler is

being used by Bernard Matthdws they burn straw would. The boiler is

being used by Bernard Matthews have being used by Bernard Matthews have

an area to store the woodchhp, a an area to store the woodchip, a

sliding roof to get the wood chip in and a boiler to heat the water. In

time, the turkey producer wants and a boiler to heat the water. In

time, the turkey producer w`nts to time, the turkey producer wants to

move from birth woodchip to Turkey letter. There is a work that needs

to be done with the Government to to be done with the Governmdnt to

achieve that because at the moment, it is classed as waste. That will

need to be reclassified as ` by`product which will allow us to

burn it in the boilers that we install on the farms. The take`up of

biomass boilers for domestic use is still relatively small but some are

choosing to go green. Mainlx to reduce the fuel bills. Woodchip is

half the price of oil but also there are subsidies called Renewable Heat

Incentive Is and that pays you for Incentive Is and that pays xou for

every kilowatt of heat that you use. On a much bigger scale, this is

being funded through incenthve being funded through incentive

schemes. Work on the 11 biolass site schemes. Work on the 11 biomass site

in Norfolk and Suffolk will start at the end of next month and is due to

be completed in six months. The company estimates the new boilers

will give them a six`figure saving on energy costs in the first year.

Council planners from across Essex gathered for a conference today on

how to reduce the risk of flooding in the future. Experts said good

planning was essential to avoid the sort of problems we've seen this

winter. One of today's delegates was John Preston, chairman of the Essex

Planning Officers Association. He joins us live now. Good planning,

does that mean not building houses where there is a risk of flooding? I

do not think it can be quitd that do not think it can be quitd that

simple. Because people may have come to towns such as John Oxford, which

were built when the bridging point of the river was, or have gone to

places similar. `` come to towns which were built. You have to take a

more measured approach. You have to look at the landscape for some of

the solutions. At the time of the flooding in the Somerset levels,

there was a lot of talk abott river there was a lot of talk about river

dredging not being done in the way it used to be. I know at the

it used to be. I know at thd Conference today they were saying it

is not as simple as that. It is local full visions for different

areas. That is correct. `` local solutions. If you look at the

analysis on dredging, you would have had to have a very significant

had to have a very signific`nt amount of dredging to avoid

problems. What is important is to maintain the flooding defences you

have already got and the rivers and streams and saw one do need to be

cleared of debris regularly so that you do not add to a problem. I've

not think you can avoid some of not think you can avoid some of

these issues entirely and I think you need to look wider field for

some of the solutions. It is not going back look at the entire river.

It is not just rivers. Part of the problem was the volume of rain that

problem was the volume of r`in that is coming down and the fact that it

was overwhelming the dreams. That is right. You can get flooding in

places like Essex from the sea, rivers, natural rainfall, generally

rivers, natural rainfall, gdnerally this area of the country is actually

quite dry compared to other areas. I am sure many of us have also

experienced it when it is vdry wet. experienced it when it is vdry wet.

with a gene that brings a hhgh risk with a gene that brings a hhgh risk

of developing breast cancer. Charlotte Pitock, a young mother

from Great Dunmow, decided to go ahead with surgery. Charlotte's Film

follows her progress through a double mastectomy and breast

reconstruction. This special report from Kim Riley. Please be aware that

this shows images of her body after the surgery.

At the Saint Andrews Centre at Broomfield Hospital, the first

official showing of a very honest film. When Charlotte Pitock, 31 was

diagnosed with a certain gene, it gave her an 85% chance of ddveloping

breast cancer. The film records the highs and lows, from consultation to

surgery, to recovery. I'm coming round from the operation and I have

been awake for about three hours now. The next few days are going to

be the hardest, certainly until day three I expect it to be quite hard.

But now, I am through and I am feeling OK at the moment. Are you

absolutely certain you made the right decision about going ahead

just 6% chance of getting breast`cancer and I no longer have

breast`cancer and I no longdr have that breast cancer cloud hanging

over me. I am completely free of over me. I am completely frde of

that risk and it is liberating, over me. I am completely free of

that risk and it is liberathng, it really is. How much of a part did

your three lovely children play in your decision? I think they are the

driving factor behind it. I want to see my three children grow up

own tissue, whenever available. In most instances, we take tissue from

the tummy and some from the thigh and we take this tissue with its own

blood supply and take it to the site, either the left or right

breast, and place it within the bag of skin. We connect the blood

vessels from the tummy or the thigh to the local blood vessels `nd that

to the local blood vessels and that is how we reconstruct a bre`st.

team praised Charlotte's bravery. When people came to visit, hf they

wanted to look, I let them. My husband did not look on the first

day but he felt ready on the husband did not look on the first

day but he felt ready on thd second day and he was amazed. People don't

It's not often you can say this but as the season comes towards its

close, all our football teals as the season comes towards its

close, all our football teams still close, all our football teals still

have something to play for ` either promotion or avoiding relegation.

And there were some key games in the football league last night, as our

sports editor Jonathan Park reports. Whether or not Ipswich make the

play`offs, it's been a season of improvement for McCarthy's side.

Last night's 1`0 win at Yeovil leaves them four points off the top

six, Christophe Berra got the goal. six, Christophe Berra

A crucial victory with rivals Reading and Brighton also winning.

It was Town's first away success this year. Just about deserved,

according to McCarthy, who lust have been nervy as Yeovil's Kieffer Moore

rattled the woodwork late on. Infuriating inconsistency is

damaging Peterborough's attdmpt to damaging Peterborough's attempt to

bounce straight back to the Championship. Manager Darren

Ferguson even says without him, they would have been relegated.

Two goals gave Posh an uphill task at London Road. City then played

most of the game with ten mdn. Ferguson's side did put one back

through Michael Bostwick but a third defeat in four games leaves them

clinging onto the final plax`off clinging onto the final plax`off

place in League One. On their coat`tails, MK Dons have

unearthed a real gem in Deld On their coat`tails, MK Dons have

unearthed a real gem in Dele Alli. The teenager scored a hat`trick in

MK Dons' 3`0 win at Notts County, leaving them three points behind

Posh, with the cites meeting this weekend.

Meanwhile, at the bottom, Stevenage's dramatic late equaliser

Stevenage's dramatic late epualiser against Preston puts that side out

of the relegation zone. Just a few weeks ago, they were nine points

adrift of safety. Now, they are unbeaten in five.

Colchester are hovering just above the chop zone. They lost 2`0 at home

to Bradford. In League Two, each game is like a

cup final for Northampton, who have improved greatly under Chris

Wilder. Last night's 1`0 win over relegation rivals Exeter improves

the Cobblers' hopes of stayhng up. Ian Morris scored the winner. They

are unbeaten in five. As Southend battled back from 2`0

down at fellow promotion rivals Scunthorpe, Egan, with a fantastic

volley from distance, and a goalkeeping mistake gifted Blues a

point. They hang on to the last play`off spot.

pupil Oli Jordan. Tell us what you do with computers. You are both very

handy. You have been nominated in a national competition for an

after`school club that you run. Can you explain what you do? We take

computers from local businesses and former partners, the University of

East Anglia, and other businesses around the area and we get them in

and we refurbish them. When I say we, the students learn how to

refurbish them, and we build new computers and then either take them

computers and then either t`ke them home or they get them out to clubs

that ask for them. Olly, how difficult is it, you know, to most

people it is wizardry what goes on underneath that keyboard... Maybe

you could fix our ones at the BBC! When you take it off, where you

quite baffled by what was under there? Yes. The first time H took

there? Yes. The first time I took apart a computer, we were told to

dig it apart and to search what all of the past it on the Internet and

label them all. `` parts did. After doing that in understanding how they

were working, it suddenly started to make sense how to put them back

together and how they all fht together and how they all fit

together and work around each other. And how many of you in this club? At

the moment, after school on Tuesday, we get 40 people roughly turning up

to this after`school club. @nd you to this after`school club. And you

have refurbished quite a lot of these? Over 100? You have actually

gone out into the community and they are being reused by livable. I have

got a couple of computers at home, don't know about other people,

stashed away, and I wonder, can you totally agrees the hard drive?

People have concerns about what might be a. I am dropping about bank

details! If you have it reftrbished, details! If you have it refurbished,

you wonder that it goes to somebody else, is it totally secure?

Certainly. We go over every hard drive with a new operating system so

the entire drive is blanked. There is absolutely no chance of

credentials being stolen or indeed looked at. So do you want all

computers to be brought in? Absolutely. Equally, we want any

clubs or organisations in the local area but won't computers to drop us

an e`mail. `` that would like to drop us an e`mail. `` that would

likely computers. How do you drop us an e`mail. `` that would

likely computers. How do yot and drop us an e`mail. `` that would

and the pupils feel about getting to this national final? The sttdents

are absolutely delighted. I am pleased for them but I was quite

pleased for them but I was puite confident that what they are doing

is quite unique and it ties in with the new computer curriculum that has

come into all schools from September. They are learning about

competing, how to build computers, how to write software. Therd

competing, how to build computers, how to write software. There are no

longer learning the ICT basics of using a spreadsheet or using a

PowerPoint, which is quite intuitive. There are no learning how

they work. How does the Intdrnet they work. How does the Internet

work? How does Google do that? `` they are currently learning. It is
