generation of mini`copters. And there will be sunshine over the bank | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
holiday weekend, but you max need an umbrella by Sunday. | :00:38. | :00:53. | |
There are major delays tonight on one of our busiest holiday routes as | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
the Easter getaway begins. The A47 at Middleton near King's Lynn is | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
blocked after a serious acchdent. It's the route thousands of people | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
will be using to get to the North Norfolk coast. Our chief reporter | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
Kim Riley has the latest thdre and across the East as the tourhst | :01:07. | :01:14. | |
season gets into full swing. The A47 blocked in both their erecthons | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
after an accident this afternoon. The women from the lorry and a man | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
from the car were treated bx paramedics at the scene. Thd holiday | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
route remains closed. Heavy traffic on the Alpha 127 as day`trippers | :01:30. | :01:37. | |
headed home. Motorists suffdred long delays and frustration. The airports | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
like Stansted are set for a bumper weekend. Were 30,000 passengers up | :01:44. | :01:53. | |
on last year due to new routes. Crowds of visitors at the zoo in | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
Norfolk. A survey showed th`t people taking a break here at home would | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
boost the economy by hundreds of millions of pounds. The weather | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
makes a difference, but even if it is overcast, it is a beautiful place | :02:09. | :02:17. | |
to visit. It is the last dax I can spend with the kids while I was | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
working during the holiday. We packed a picnic and off we go. For | :02:21. | :02:28. | |
the zoo it has been a great season. We have been experiencing up to | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
200,000 people in a day, whhch is phenomenal. Tourism in Essex is a | :02:34. | :02:45. | |
?400,000 industry. If it gods well here, it points to a successful | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
summer. We had a pure start last year, but it went well. This weekend | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
is very important for the two risen 64. `` tourism sector. This was Alex | :02:57. | :03:08. | |
looking ahead to last Easter weekend. A good produce an hsolated | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
snow shower and an accumulation of a centimetre. It will be calldd around | :03:16. | :03:29. | |
the coast. `` cold. Children are enjoying their last few days of the | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
holiday. The A312 is moving steadily tonight despite heavy traffhc. | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
Pictures Justin at the A14 shows traffic flowing smoothly. Mdanwhile | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
the Highways Agency has admhtted that part of the A11 bypass at | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
Elveden won't be open in tile for Easter. Last month they said one | :03:54. | :04:01. | |
stretch would be ready by E`ster. Today they made the decision for | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
safety reasons. We are at the northern end of the | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
A11. Behind me is a pristind stretch of road. The Elveden bypass. It will | :04:15. | :04:28. | |
not be open cos of safety rdasons and traffic management issuds. They | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
decided to be cautious and delayed the opening. The upshot is that the | :04:35. | :04:42. | |
traffic will be waning slowly through the village. The highways | :04:43. | :04:50. | |
agency hoped to be running traffic along this road by now, but it is | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
empty. It was set to be open today, according to the man in charge when | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
he spoke to us last month. We are hoping to open it by 17th of April. | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
There will be a 40 mile per hour speed limit where we finish the | :05:08. | :05:15. | |
work. The shops and farms w`nted he weekend clear of congestion, but now | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
it will be Phil on a busy wdekend. `` full. We were hoping it would be | :05:22. | :05:29. | |
open, but we have to accept that it is not. | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
These recent aerial shots of the Elveden I pass sure how it spreads | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
out around the village. But drivers this weekend will have to w`it a | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
little bit longer to get onto the fresh tarmac. Just to be cldar, | :05:47. | :05:54. | |
there will not be a delay to the overall project. That will open as | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
planned in September. The thdying up around it should take three months | :06:02. | :06:08. | |
after that. Later in the programme: We will find | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
out, life, about any congestion from the control centre on the M25. | :06:16. | :06:22. | |
The police in Suffolk have `dmitted today they took too long to tell | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
people a violent criminal w`s on the loose. Jerry Monerville was serving | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
eight years for robbery when we he went missing from Hollesley Bay | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
prison on Tuesday. An announcement about the escape was not made until | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
the following day. Tim Passlore the Police Commissioner, says the police | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
must act quicker. This report from our home affairs corresponddnt. | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
Prisoner on the run Jerry Monerville got eight years for slashing and | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
robbing a teenager after behng given leave from prison in Suffolk. It was | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
20 hours before police warndd the public. The Police and Crimd | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
Commissioner said they should have acted sooner. I can't see why it | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
took 20 hours. That is a long time. Look at the risk factor at what | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
might have happened. I'm not convinced it is the correct way to | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
proceed. Once inside Police HQ, the PCC discuss the missing person with | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
the chief constable while on the ground, their officers put their | :07:16. | :07:24. | |
hands up. We have been slow off the mark in making it public, btt we | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
have certainly been carrying out enquiries. We have not been sitting | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
doing nothing. We have been actively looking for the prisoner. I want to | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
emphasise that public safetx as a priority. But you could be | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
proactively putting it out there and making checks at the same thme. We | :07:45. | :07:52. | |
will be in future. Suffolk police have been quick to admit thdy should | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
have put out a public alert on the prisoner on the run. It is clear | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
that, from now on, they will be judged on actions and not words The | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
police and crime commission believes they should put out alerts on social | :08:06. | :08:13. | |
media within two hours. Jerry Monerville vanished on Tuesday, but | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
it is not the first time thd police had been criticised for del`ys. 11 | :08:18. | :08:32. | |
hours passed when three violent criminals escaped a secure hospital | :08:33. | :08:42. | |
in Suffolk. In Cheshire, Chdster reported in missing prisoner after | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
three hours. The trial of a Premier Leagte | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
footballer has been delayed because important CCTV pictures of the | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
incident have been lost by the police and prosecutors. Jamds | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
Tomkins denies assaulting a police officer outside the Sugar Htt | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
nightclub in Brentwood. His lawyer accused the Crown Prosecution | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
Service of incompetence. Gareth George was in court in Basildon | :09:03. | :09:13. | |
he's in our Essex newsroom now. James Tomkins is 25. He plaxs for | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
West Ham in the Premier League. We have pictures of them arrivhng at | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
Basildon magistrates Court this morning. He is a defender. He has | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
represented England at all levels up to under 21, and lives in Essex | :09:30. | :09:36. | |
Before Christmas, he was involved at an incident and a nightclub that | :09:37. | :09:52. | |
features and The Only Way Is Essex. He was charged with assaulthng a | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
police officer and resisting arrest. He has denied them. This trhal today | :09:57. | :10:04. | |
was delayed because the inchdent had been captured on CCTV camer`s. The | :10:05. | :10:12. | |
footage had been seized by Dssex Police, but the Crown Prosecution | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
Service field to provide it in court this morning. It seemed that no one | :10:18. | :10:28. | |
knew where it was. James Tolkins is represented by Rupert Bauers and he | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
said it should have been thrown out there and then. He said that it is | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
unfair for allegations to h`ng over him. Eventually the footage was | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
found and rather than throw the case out, magistrates moved it to a date | :10:42. | :10:54. | |
in September. Police in Essdx have named a man they want to qudstion | :10:55. | :11:02. | |
regarding a murder in Braintree They want to speak to Luke Dva. | :11:03. | :11:20. | |
A police car has been stolen in Essex. The unmarked Skoda Octavia | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
estate had been parked outshde the home of a Metropolitan Police | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
officer near the village of Doddinghurst. Burglars brokd into | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
the house to get the car kexs. They may not be aware the vehicld is a | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
police car. A recruitment campaign has been | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
launched to get people to bdcome firefighters. Still to come: Ipswich | :11:35. | :11:47. | |
town are tantalisingly closd to the play`offs. And we go behind the | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
scenes with a teenage thing sensation, Charley Hull. | :11:53. | :12:01. | |
I'm sure you remember these pictures of oilseed rape fields from our | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
programme last night, as far as the eye can see. It's been a bulper year | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
for rape seed but there is ` problem ` how to keep the birds frol having | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
their fill. These days, scarecrows don't quite do it. | :12:14. | :12:15. | |
Pilfering pigeons are nothing new, farmers desperate to figure out how | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
to keep them at bay. As well as the evolving and revolving scardcrow, | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
there is the big bang theorx or the solar powered shriek. That hs | :12:23. | :12:31. | |
incredibly loud! What is th`t mimicking? It can play anything from | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
seagulls to rooks depending on what we are trying to deter. The trouble | :12:35. | :12:44. | |
is that for pigeons, the fe`r factor doesn't last long. We chase them up | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
into the trees there, but they come back before you know it. On the | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
family farm near Sudbury, 27`year`old Richard has comd up with | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
a new tactic. The drone comds from different heights and angles all the | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
time with different sounds so it is something they can't get usdd to in | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
a hurry. This is not about people playing with toys. It is behng | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
driven by the economics of farming. Any farmer will tell you th`t get a | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
flock of pigeons on a crop `nd they will destroy large areas quhckly. So | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
you don't need to lose much before this type of kit can pay for itself. | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
Will it catch on? There are a lot of neighbouring farmers near hdre who | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
know what is going on so I think there will be more about. There will | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
never be a quick fix to pigdon problems, but this is just `nother | :13:31. | :13:37. | |
weapon that puts the fun back in it. Richard works full`time as ` | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
full`size helicopter pilot, but he is keen to develop this machine | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
further, not least its abilhty to carry out preprogrammed patrols | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
across the fields. It cost ?150 and covers 1600 acres. It is sedn here | :13:47. | :14:06. | |
is a shrewd, shrieking investment. Now if you are a football f`n and | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
you support anybody apart from MK Dons or Luton Town, you are either | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
very excited about the Eastdr weekend or very nervous. | :14:14. | :14:26. | |
Ipswich are in effect of thd fight for a retard, | :14:27. | :15:06. | |
consistency and performances and results. We have never really had a | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
bad run or a really good run. It has just been consistent, picking up | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
points as we move along. I think the gaffer has found a group of 20 | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
players who, when called upon, give consistent performances. A stressful | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
time of the year but the pl`yers have found time to relax, showing | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
off their other talents with the Junior Blues, a generation who have | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
grown up with the club. 12 straight seasons at this level, but that | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
could be about to change. Pdople at my school mainly support thd Premier | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
League teams and to say your team is in the Premier League when xou | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
support the local team is qtite a nice feeling. I hope we do go up, | :15:44. | :15:54. | |
that will be amazing. I hopd Norwich get relegated as well. We'vd got a | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
small budget compared to a lot of teams in and around us and we have | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
done fantastic. From chairm`n all the way down, the gaffer has been | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
fantastic. All the lads are buzzing. The Easter period is often decisive. | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
Ipswich start with a trip to Watford on Saturday before a home m`tch with | :16:11. | :16:12. | |
Bournemouth 48 hours later. The week after it's second`place | :16:13. | :16:21. | |
Burnley, they could be up bx the time Town visit, then Sheffheld | :16:22. | :16:22. | |
Wednesday on the final day. It gives a massive buzz to the town. | :16:23. | :16:34. | |
Is it extra special for you having followed Ipswich as a youngster | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
Yeah. I'm from Ipswich, I'm a boyhood Town fan, I want to do | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
everything possible to get Hpswich into the Premier League. Only goal | :16:44. | :16:52. | |
difference keeps them out of the top six. They're on a roll, hophng to | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
strike when it matters. They've known about it all season. | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
The dreaded final four fixttres are here for Norwich. Close your eyes if | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
you have to. Liverpool first on Sunday, Manchester United ndxt week, | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
then Chelsea before Champions League hopefuls Arsenal on the fin`l day. | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
Norwich will almost certainly need a result or two if they're to avoid | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
relegation from the Premier League. They're two points above Fulham but, | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
on paper, the bottom three `ll have easier run`ins. So first up for | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
Norwich, Liverpool, who are eying the title. We've had good | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
performances against Arsenal and Manchester city, so Liverpool have | :17:35. | :17:45. | |
to have an off day. It's re`lly Norwich against worries. Su`rez ``. | :17:46. | :18:01. | |
Now our sides in Leagues Ond and Two play tomorrow and again on Daster | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
Monday. Here's Good Friday's games. And talking to Colchester's manager, | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
he's rather hoping the Us whll be safe after Easter. They're `t home | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
to Oldham. MK Dons have fallen out of the play`off picture. | :18:12. | :18:13. | |
Peterborough though right in it They're at Bradford. Steven`ge are | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
getting into must`win territory if they're to survive. Four pohnts from | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
safety heading to Sheffield United. In League Two, Southend, who are in | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
the final play`off spot, go to second`placed Rochdale. And Wycombe | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
` Northampton's simply huge ` that's third`from`bottom against | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
second`bottom. Let's take a closer look. Chris Wilder says it hs not | :18:30. | :18:36. | |
make or break, but he certahnly knows it is significant. Looking at | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
the table, they need to win. Defeat makes survival that much harder | :18:43. | :18:50. | |
Chris Wilder and Northampton. Their last training session in thd battle | :18:51. | :18:57. | |
to stay up. We do have a few dogs of war. We have men with experhence who | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
are up for the fight. They have shown that in their perform`nces and | :19:03. | :19:10. | |
results. There are massive fixtures this weekend. Wycombe tomorrow and | :19:11. | :19:21. | |
Portsmouth on Monday, lose both and it could be heavy. Good Friday's | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
League One Games: Portsmouth on Monday, lose both and | :19:27. | :19:39. | |
it could be heavy. Good Friday's `` anyone below 52 points will need a | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
result to get over the line. Historically, at least 50 points | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
keeps you in the division. Without Chris Wilder, they could have been | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
relegated by now, but they `re on top form. Their status rests on the | :19:54. | :20:00. | |
next fortnight, starting with Wycombe tomorrow. | :20:01. | :20:11. | |
Keep up`to`date on your loc`l BBC Radio station. | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
Can I just tell you about a programme this weekend on BBC East | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
about the teenage golfer Ch`rley Hull. We have been following her | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
story for the last ten years on this programme. When she was nind years | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
old, she beat 24,000 other women to win the Ladies Amateur titld. Last | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
year, she helped Europe beat America as the youngest player in the | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
Solheim Cup. She was just 17 years old. James Burridge has been given | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
exclusive access to Charley's world. She is the teenage tigress growing | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
up fast and her swing is a thing of beauty. | :20:44. | :21:09. | |
Welcome to my home. I live here with my mum and dad. From photo shoots to | :21:10. | :21:16. | |
fitness, family life to famous friends, we have a special hnsight | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
into what it takes to creatd a champion. She is a world be`ter | :21:23. | :21:29. | |
There is no question in my lind She is on the threshold of greatness | :21:30. | :21:37. | |
now. It is wonderful. I am competitive in everything I do. I | :21:38. | :21:45. | |
would probably be competitive when tying my shoelace. Charlie has come | :21:46. | :21:58. | |
to California to play and the first major of the year. She will be up | :21:59. | :22:05. | |
against 100 of the world's best players. After her success `nd the | :22:06. | :22:13. | |
Solheim Cup, she has fans in the United States. I love the pressure. | :22:14. | :22:22. | |
I love the feeling that you had to pull it off or be embarrassdd. | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
People pay to watch as an pdople get a buzz out of it. I am just me. It | :22:29. | :22:41. | |
is not fake. I see what I sde, if people like me, that's good | :22:42. | :22:50. | |
And you can see the full programme on Easter Sunday at 4.30pm on BBC | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
One in the East. Let's go back to the state of the | :22:56. | :23:10. | |
roads. We are talking to Mr Jobson at the control centre. Junction six, | :23:11. | :23:17. | |
where the road was blocked, is cleared and open again. | :23:18. | :23:27. | |
Are we that much busier than usual? We are but not as busy as a normal | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
Thursday before Easter. I think that is because the holiday is at the end | :23:33. | :23:35. | |
of the school holidays rathdr than the beginning. Where should people | :23:36. | :23:44. | |
avoid in the next couple of hours? I don't think they should be `voided | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
anywhere but they should be aware that it may take longer where it is | :23:50. | :24:07. | |
busy. The M25 to junction 27. That is near Ainfield. Otherwise, if | :24:08. | :24:16. | |
you're travelling, it doesn't look too bad tonight. Now, it is quite | :24:17. | :24:25. | |
good. If you are travelling, have a safe journey. But have a look at the | :24:26. | :24:33. | |
weather. It gets off to a promising start, | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
our Easter weekend. Certainly some sunshine and dry weather tolorrow | :24:39. | :24:45. | |
and Saturday, but by the tile we get to Easter Sunday, there is rain to | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
come. A promising start this morning with fine weather across thd | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
region, but look how this cloud develops from the north`west. This | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
was a weak weather front he`ding southwards across the region and it | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
has still not cleared away. It produced a little bit of light rain | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
but that has now cleared. Wd are now entering a cloudy regime, btt it | :25:08. | :25:15. | |
moves south to make a dry nhght Could be chilly temperatures, with | :25:16. | :25:28. | |
the potential for growing frost There is enough of a breeze on the | :25:29. | :25:31. | |
Norfolk coast to keep temperatures at seven Celsius. Tomorrow, a | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
northerly wind will bring cool weather but there will be a lot of | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
sunshine, particularly in the morning. Expect fine weather. You | :25:41. | :25:48. | |
might want to wrap up warm. And part of Norfolk and Suffolk, it could be | :25:49. | :26:00. | |
eight Celsius. Elsewhere, ftrther south, we are looking at hehghts of | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
12 Celsius. For the afternoon, there could be more cloud around, although | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
it looks like it will stay dry if not sunny. Our thoughts turn to | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
Easter Sunday because we have got an area of low pressure moving in from | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
the continent. This isn't great news. The timing is uncertahn, but | :26:22. | :26:28. | |
it looks as though we are all going to be in for rain, particul`rly the | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
south`east corner of the cotntry. It could be on the heavy side, so keep | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
checking the forecast over the next few days. There is something to come | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
before then. A similar pattdrn for Friday, but sunny spells. More cloud | :26:46. | :26:54. | |
in the afternoon with maybe an isolated shower, but it looks dry | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
for most of us. Not the best forecast for Easter Sunday, but it | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
is like it will be a dry dax on Monday. | :27:04. | :27:17. | |
Just remember, a year ago she was predicting snow! Goodbye. | :27:18. | :27:27. |
