I'm reporting live from the home of Norwich City Football Club on the

:00:23.:00:25.

day the Canaries sacked thehr manager and introduced a new one.

:00:26.:00:29.

:00:42.:00:46.

follow is well? Will I take my should have the responsibilhty? Well

:00:47.:00:52.

I resign? That would be a m`tter for me to discuss with the board.

:00:53.:00:56.

Also tonight: after three ydars of controversy, it's a victory for

:00:57.:00:59.

people power as Norfolk offhcially scraps plans for an inciner`tor in

:01:00.:01:02.

King's Lynn. Now tax`payers are left to pick up the bill.

:01:03.:01:05.

Plus, we remember a red`letter day for the Post Office ` exactly forty

:01:06.:01:15.

years ago today. Hello.

:01:16.:01:18.

A youth has been warned he faces a substantial prison sentence for the

:01:19.:01:21.

'cold`blooded' murder of Jax Whiston. 17`year`old Jay didd after

:01:22.:01:26.

being stabbed at a party in Colchester. It happened in September

:01:27.:01:30.

2012. The man accused of killing him was 18`year`old Edward Redm`n. He

:01:31.:01:34.

denied murder, but was found guilty at Chelmsford Crown Court after a

:01:35.:01:39.

trial lasting three months. Our Essex reporter Gareth Georgd has

:01:40.:01:47.

just sent this. A short time ago, the familx left

:01:48.:01:52.

court. There were tears of relief when Edward Redman was convhcted.

:01:53.:01:58.

The trial lasted for three lonths, it took the Judy just over three

:01:59.:02:05.

hours. Colchester, and the venue of the teenage party becomes p`rt of

:02:06.:02:09.

one of the biggest murder investigations Essex has evdr seen.

:02:10.:02:15.

None of the people at that party that night would have seen `nyone my

:02:16.:02:20.

blood. This was extremely to matting for everyone who attended. Jay

:02:21.:02:29.

Whiston, stabbed as he protdcted a friend any fate. Today, 18`xear`old

:02:30.:02:33.

Edward Redman and was found guilty of his murder. As brother and father

:02:34.:02:43.

covered up for him and were convicted of conspiring to pervert

:02:44.:02:49.

the course of justice. Edward is known to be a prolific offender in

:02:50.:02:53.

the community. He is a violdnt, selfish thug. Police releasdd this

:02:54.:03:02.

CCTV footage of Redmond. He is joking with a friend until he takes

:03:03.:03:05.

a phone call and his demeanour changes. This, police believe, is

:03:06.:03:12.

the moment he was told that Jay Whiston was dead. To set thdre

:03:13.:03:20.

looking at the accused in the dock, smug and laughing at you with no

:03:21.:03:27.

remorse... To me he was a pdrfect son, he was all you could whsh for.

:03:28.:03:33.

It is the verdict they are hoping for, but their lives have bden torn

:03:34.:03:41.

apart by grief. Redmond's ex`girlfriend was also convhcted of

:03:42.:03:48.

conspiring to pervert the course of justice. Meanwhile, Jay's f`mily

:03:49.:03:58.

have been campaigning in his memory. He was my first grandson. Hd was

:03:59.:04:02.

always very loving. He is ndver going to come back through the door

:04:03.:04:08.

now, is he? He was lovely. He never even got to 18. He was 17 and he

:04:09.:04:14.

certainly never deserved wh`t he got. I don't read any other

:04:15.:04:24.

jewellery now. This is my lhfe. His ashes. Friends from college released

:04:25.:04:28.

lanterns in memory of a bright, popular teenager who wanted to study

:04:29.:04:35.

law. There were so many mourners at the funeral they could not `ll get

:04:36.:04:39.

inside. His coffin was decorated with his favourite cartoon

:04:40.:04:41.

character, Sesame Street's Cookie Monster. He loved Cookie Monster. He

:04:42.:04:51.

had it tattooed. Now 300 of us have it, including me. We got th`t done

:04:52.:05:01.

for him. One of Elliott's prized possessions is a shirt signdd by

:05:02.:05:06.

friends on the last day of school. One of the messages is from Jay

:05:07.:05:10.

It's almost like he has gond to university in a foreign country and

:05:11.:05:13.

can't afford the ticket back, or you haven't heard from him in a while.

:05:14.:05:18.

You just can't believe that he's dead. We all sit there and think 'it

:05:19.:05:22.

won't happen to me', the sale as Jay. If he had known any safety

:05:23.:05:25.

measures, he might well be here today. Jay's friends and falily now

:05:26.:05:30.

go into schools to tell people about the dangers of knives. Four

:05:31.:05:35.

centimetres is enough to go through your ribcage, penetrate your heart

:05:36.:05:40.

and kill you. Jay's death highlighted a worrying numbdr of

:05:41.:05:49.

teenagers who now carry knives. The worry is that it is like a fashion

:05:50.:05:52.

accessory. I really don't understand where it has come from but ht has

:05:53.:05:58.

become a bad issue. Among those at this knife safety session, Nick

:05:59.:06:01.

Alston, the Police and Crimd Safety Commissioner for Essex. The knife

:06:02.:06:05.

safety message in schools is just so important. I think it was so

:06:06.:06:10.

inspired Jay's mum Caroline to think of doing this. It stayed focused on

:06:11.:06:14.

a single message ` that it hs wrong to carry a knife. The campahgn

:06:15.:06:19.

doesn't lessen the grief felt by Jay's family. This is Jay whth his

:06:20.:06:27.

sister, Holly. He was going to do so well. He was looking forward to

:06:28.:06:30.

going to university. Now we'll never see what he'll turn into. There is a

:06:31.:06:34.

great big hole that isn't going to fill. Jay Whiston's grandmother

:06:35.:06:46.

trying to express the scale of their loss. Edmond will be sentenced at a

:06:47.:06:52.

later date. He knows he will get life but he smiled as he was led

:06:53.:06:57.

from the dock. Norwich City football club has been

:06:58.:07:00.

explaining its decision tod`y to sack manager Chris Hughton. The

:07:01.:07:03.

Canaries said youth team boss Neil Adams would be taking over. Let s

:07:04.:07:07.

get all the reaction to that story now from Stewart, who is at Carrow

:07:08.:07:14.

Road. It is very quiet here this dvening

:07:15.:07:20.

but it has been an eventful weekend. On Saturday they lost to West

:07:21.:07:24.

Bromwich Albion and have a difficult run in over the next few gales. Last

:07:25.:07:31.

night about 8:00pm, we got the news that Chris Hughton had been sacked.

:07:32.:07:37.

Today we made a new man Neil Adams. We will be hearing from him later

:07:38.:07:40.

and the Chief Executive Davhd McNally. But first let's st`rt with

:07:41.:07:47.

the press conference today. The new manager, a bit unsure about

:07:48.:07:50.

which chair to choose. He'll have five days to adjust to being centre

:07:51.:07:54.

stage. And five matches to keep Norwich in the Premier Leagte. A lot

:07:55.:07:59.

of people in this room know what the club means to me. I have bedn here

:08:00.:08:09.

for 20 years as a player and coach. It is an honour to manage. The man

:08:10.:08:17.

with the plan, Norwich City Chairman David McNally. The Canaries, one

:08:18.:08:20.

place above the relegation zone Why not let Hughton continue? Not an

:08:21.:08:24.

option, say the board. I don't think we have much choice. We havd to do

:08:25.:08:30.

something about it. We have lost seven away games on the spine and

:08:31.:08:35.

four games from the last six. `` spin. The final straw for Htghton `

:08:36.:08:43.

Saturday's match at home to West Brom. Another lacklustre performance

:08:44.:08:46.

and a 1`0 defeat. A game th`t started with the fans' backhng ended

:08:47.:08:49.

with their boos. CHEERING

:08:50.:08:54.

Fans at Carrow Road were given cardboard clappers. The plan

:08:55.:08:56.

backfired as frustrated fans used them as missiles. For fans `nd local

:08:57.:09:06.

media, the sacking may have been predictable. But the news, lore of a

:09:07.:09:14.

shock to the national media. On Twitter, national pundits wdren t

:09:15.:09:16.

shy in coming forward. Gary Lineker was first out of the blocks:

:09:17.:09:27.

Then Robbie Savage: Norwich's form has been so poor that stickhng with

:09:28.:09:43.

the same manager, you could argue could have been a bigger galble We

:09:44.:09:50.

will see what happens now. The only person we haven't heard

:09:51.:09:54.

from the club's high profild Julia Smith. But we know she has ` big

:09:55.:10:03.

fan. She said he was the best pundit after he retired and is now the best

:10:04.:10:11.

manager. Chris Hughton was ` gentleman but, according to some,

:10:12.:10:15.

gentlemen don't always make the best managers.

:10:16.:10:24.

I was at that press conference. David McNally was unable to sit down

:10:25.:10:30.

and do a proper interview so I spent most of it asking him questhons as

:10:31.:10:36.

he was giving the answers. Just a word of warning, there is flash

:10:37.:10:43.

photography during this intdrview. I asked if he was taking

:10:44.:10:45.

responsibility for what has gone wrong. I think you have to `ccept

:10:46.:10:53.

that if you're in a business during him bad spell, you have to take

:10:54.:10:59.

responsibility whether you're the owner or or manager. I take it

:11:00.:11:05.

seriously of course. You believe you hung on to Chris Hughton longer than

:11:06.:11:11.

you should have done. That hs an interesting question but a difficult

:11:12.:11:14.

one to answer because, as football fans, we always have the benefit of

:11:15.:11:21.

hindsight. Do you think you have hung onto long? I think we have

:11:22.:11:27.

given him every opportunity to improve the club's fortune. Those

:11:28.:11:36.

that have watched every gamd will tell you that the football on offer

:11:37.:11:40.

this year has been inconsistent We have not got the results we have

:11:41.:11:47.

needed and the performances have been inconsistent. You once told me

:11:48.:11:52.

Chris Hughton was a nice man. Has that been a hindrance to yot? It is

:11:53.:11:58.

sad to see him go because hd is one of the good guys and a tricky

:11:59.:12:06.

sport. `` in a tricky sport. You always said it was Chris's job to

:12:07.:12:11.

keep you out of the bottom three, and you are. I think that comment

:12:12.:12:17.

might have been taken from ` 20 minute interview. I hadn't `lways

:12:18.:12:23.

said that. I said that after a difficult spell, get is out of the

:12:24.:12:31.

bottom three and keepers thdre. You are out of the bottom three. We are

:12:32.:12:39.

but for defeat in six games is relegation form. We need to do

:12:40.:12:46.

something about that. Isn't it too late? We will stay up but wd made

:12:47.:12:55.

that change with that in mahns. A few weeks ago you were lookhng as to

:12:56.:12:59.

what might happen if he left. Was this the plan? You make the mistake

:13:00.:13:06.

of taking bets of your own sound bites out of 20 minute interviews. I

:13:07.:13:14.

didn't actually say that. What did you say? I said we would have a plan

:13:15.:13:26.

in place... Was Neal B plan that you had in mind? Now. In isolathon, he

:13:27.:13:38.

was passed that plan. Will xou take the fall a few go down? Firstly we

:13:39.:13:48.

are not going down. If we do, well I take my share of the responsibility?

:13:49.:13:53.

Will I resign? That would bd a matter for me to discuss with the

:13:54.:13:58.

board. What is your feeling about it now? I am aware of my personal

:13:59.:14:06.

responsibility. David McNally at the press

:14:07.:14:10.

conference today. Let's see what the future holds.

:14:11.:14:19.

Norwich city's home form had been Chris Hughton's saviour. Thdy sought

:14:20.:14:26.

big wins over big teams. Thd luck finally ran out on Saturday. But why

:14:27.:14:31.

now? A good talking point for tonight 's kick`off. I can't quite

:14:32.:14:38.

understand it, but hopefullx it will give them a good chance to save the

:14:39.:14:44.

club. I don't think he has dnough opportunity with five games. What

:14:45.:14:51.

can he do? He can't implement anything I put any stamp of

:14:52.:14:59.

authority into the games. Ever since fixtures were published, thdy were

:15:00.:15:04.

to decide if it was Premier or championship football next season.

:15:05.:15:14.

It is then Liverpool at homd who are top of the Premier League. The

:15:15.:15:19.

Canaries then travel to Old Trafford. But there are now finding

:15:20.:15:25.

their feet under David Moyes. Chelsea away have one of thd most

:15:26.:15:29.

talented squads in the Premher League. And run`ins don't come much

:15:30.:15:37.

tougher than Arsenal. Some people do not know who Neil Adams as, but he

:15:38.:15:47.

knows Norwich as well as anxone Year signed a contract that should

:15:48.:15:54.

keep him at Carrow Road for three seasons. Neil Adams is prim`rily a

:15:55.:15:58.

right winger but had the ball with either foot.

:15:59.:16:05.

Last year he won the FA youth club with the under 18 's. But that is

:16:06.:16:10.

still speculation as to what happens next. You are amongst the bookies

:16:11.:16:22.

favourites. I will be among a list of candidates ensure. It is always

:16:23.:16:29.

flattering. The Premier League is one of the best leagues in the world

:16:30.:16:36.

but I don't want to talk about that, I am in a stable desertion. A

:16:37.:16:41.

lot still right on whether the Canaries remain in the Premher

:16:42.:16:50.

League. Let's hear from the new manager himself. I sat down with him

:16:51.:16:56.

after that press conference and we talked about the quality of players

:16:57.:17:00.

he has on his staff but what he is most concerned about is thehr

:17:01.:17:05.

strength of character. What I am not familiar with is the character of

:17:06.:17:09.

the players. You must be in the dressing room or coaching them on a

:17:10.:17:14.

daily basis to get your head around that, and those kinds of thhngs the

:17:15.:17:19.

big players, the big characters the ones that are ready for this, those

:17:20.:17:25.

are the ones we need. You m`de your reputation with the younger players,

:17:26.:17:30.

does that mean you might sed some younger players playing in the first

:17:31.:17:34.

team? In all the players inside out and have been working with them We

:17:35.:17:38.

have fantastic success, somdthing we are hugely proud of. Age is no

:17:39.:17:44.

barrier. We have a good grotp of first`team players here and I know

:17:45.:17:47.

what is underneath that. If I feel one of those players will do a job

:17:48.:17:51.

for us then they will play, it is as simple as that. You want thhs job

:17:52.:17:58.

full`time for the future? It is a no`brainer. Of course. I have the

:17:59.:18:04.

job for five games, that is it. I have the rematch of keeping us in

:18:05.:18:09.

this division. Have you set the points target? Now. We do not have

:18:10.:18:16.

enough points now. We must go and win games and get more points. There

:18:17.:18:21.

are three on offer on Saturday. We want to get all three and whn the

:18:22.:18:26.

game and we will take it from there. If it happens then great, it makes

:18:27.:18:30.

the objective of staying in the sleep easier. If it does not then

:18:31.:18:34.

there are four more that we must get the points from. Five games in four

:18:35.:18:39.

weeks, to make sure we get dnough points, whatever that total is.

:18:40.:18:46.

You're confident? Fairly confident. Neal Adams speaking to me e`rlier.

:18:47.:18:49.

We will be back later. Coming up next, the final ddath

:18:50.:19:02.

knell for the King 's Lynn incinerator. Ross, 40 years old How

:19:03.:19:07.

Norwich pioneered the modern postcode. Norfolk county cotncil has

:19:08.:19:16.

finally agreed to pull the plug on a project condemned as the rattle off

:19:17.:19:22.

of the century. Councils ard rubber`stamped the recommendation to

:19:23.:19:25.

abandon the waste incinerator intended for Kings Lynn. Thd vote

:19:26.:19:30.

delighted campaigners who w`ged a three year protest against the plan.

:19:31.:19:34.

They have made many visits xear today the celebrators `` today the

:19:35.:19:40.

protesters came here to celdbrate. The Galilee was packed. It hs a very

:19:41.:19:45.

important day, a very big issue for Kings Lynn. This chimney wotld have

:19:46.:19:51.

been pumping 20 tonnes of m`terial into the atmosphere every hour. The

:19:52.:19:56.

council is gathered for a mdeting they would have far`reaching

:19:57.:20:00.

consequences, the speeches were impassioned and emotional. Today is

:20:01.:20:04.

a defining moment in what h`s been a most inglorious chapter in the

:20:05.:20:10.

history of this authority. Ht is time to remove the dark clotd

:20:11.:20:15.

hanging over this community. This is the wrong project in the wrong place

:20:16.:20:21.

at the wrong time. Have a lot of ill informed mass hysteria from small

:20:22.:20:24.

groups of highly vociferous minorities who basically do not want

:20:25.:20:29.

anything that they do not understand in the backyard. The reason for

:20:30.:20:35.

pulling out now is the Environment Secretary still has not dechded

:20:36.:20:39.

whether or not to grant planning permission and will not say when he

:20:40.:20:44.

will. The council says the delay at the ?140,000 per day to the project

:20:45.:20:48.

and by the summer it will no longer offer value for money. We inherited

:20:49.:20:56.

this contract and Mr pickles has absolutely point`blank refused to

:20:57.:21:01.

give us any idea of if or when he will make a decision and th`t has

:21:02.:21:05.

made it unviable. The Conservatives say that incinerator still

:21:06.:21:12.

represents value for money. It was premature for us to make a decision

:21:13.:21:15.

today because we cost the county ?30 million today which is why H call ``

:21:16.:21:22.

why I voted against it. The leader of the Liberal Democrats sahd this

:21:23.:21:25.

was a long and torturous jotrney. It is not over yet. The council must

:21:26.:21:30.

come up with ?8 million worth of savings and then must start work on

:21:31.:21:39.

the new environmental waste policy. Now, love them or hate them, it s 40

:21:40.:21:43.

years since every town in Britain was given a postcode. The vdry first

:21:44.:21:47.

codes were just a single letter introduced in London more than 50

:21:48.:21:50.

years ago. Today, there are nearly two million of them covering the

:21:51.:21:53.

whole country. And now, Norwich has been recognised for its rold as a

:21:54.:21:57.

pioneer of the modern postcode. The plaque unveiled in. Well, NR2

:21:58.:22:02.

1LZ to be exact. Says it all. Norwich was the test`bed of present

:22:03.:22:09.

day post codes. They were trialled in Norfolk and Norwich, a close

:22:10.:22:16.

Norwich had a very avant`garde councillor who had these machines

:22:17.:22:19.

put in. The technology was first developed in the late 1950s.

:22:20.:22:25.

Electric circuits could be set up to distinguish between similarly shaped

:22:26.:22:30.

letters like G and C. It made the sorting of mail 20 times faster

:22:31.:22:33.

That machine was one of the first machines to come to Norwich, called

:22:34.:22:36.

a single sorting machine.and that was the first time it was proved

:22:37.:22:40.

that machines could sort mahl. 82`year`old Brian was one of the

:22:41.:22:43.

first posties to try out thd new sorting machines. We had visitors to

:22:44.:22:51.

the sorting office from firls and skills and it took many years to get

:22:52.:22:56.

people to use the postcode but now it is around 90%. And the use of the

:22:57.:23:00.

postcode has been extended to other fields. I put the postcode hnto my

:23:01.:23:05.

sat up and it brought me here, when my machine goes wrong and I called

:23:06.:23:11.

for a repair the Astra People's Court. But they can be

:23:12.:23:16.

controversial. When the postcodes in two villages near Felixstowd were

:23:17.:23:18.

changed. Insurance premiums went up. My house hasn't moved but I'm now

:23:19.:23:25.

told it's more liable for flooding. And they can go wrong: deliveries

:23:26.:23:27.

meant for Bassingbourne in Cambridgeshire were sent to Barkway

:23:28.:23:31.

in Hertfordshire for six months Including all this scaffoldhng. I

:23:32.:23:39.

have had a large flatscreen television turn up, and I h`ve also

:23:40.:23:45.

The remainder of the big football news, Neal Adams has become the new

:23:58.:24:00.

manager of Norwich City Football Club, following the sacking of Chris

:24:01.:24:08.

Hughton. Late kick`off tonight on BBC One at

:24:09.:24:13.

11:25pm, they will be talking about this. Was this rate or wrong? I

:24:14.:24:20.

think the timing is really pure if you are going to do it in the want

to get rid of the managers xou should have done it a few months

ago. Doing it with five gamds to go does not make sense, cause H do not

think their contingency plan was to bring in Neil Adams. If I wdre Neil

:24:32.:24:37.

Adams I would be jumping at it. If you wanted to give it to soleone...

:24:38.:24:41.

This club is in Neil Adams blood, there is no doubting that. But he

:24:42.:24:46.

has more experience. Never studied in that. He has passion and those

:24:47.:24:52.

and understands the players. Maybe it is just having a different voice

:24:53.:24:55.

in the changing room is what the chief executive is banking on. The

:24:56.:24:59.

players must take some responsibility for what has

:25:00.:25:05.

happened, mustn't they? Most of the responsibility. The manager can only

:25:06.:25:10.

put the players out. It picks the team and signings and they can be

:25:11.:25:13.

questioned but once they ard on the pitch they must make it happen. Back
