has been found guilty again

of claiming parliamentary expenses he was not entitled to.

The Tory peer has already bden ordered to pay back more th`n ? ,000

A report into his conduct showed that on some occasions he claimed

a full daily allowance but was only there for the time it took to clock

This is another blow to the reputation

of a man who used to be a ldading figure in government politics.

Jailed in 2011 for fiddling his expenses

and thrown out of the Conservative party,

he is now in trouble again for the same thing.

This latest investigation followed newspaper reports that he w`s

I think the taxpayers should say thank you to me.

But today, a report from thd House of Lords Commissioner

He said he had been preparing for a debate.

The report says there is no evidence he had done any work.

At his home, he refused to speak on camera but in a statement said

it had been thoughtless to claim the full allowance but also said he was

This affair has angered othdr politicians,

currently in the middle of fighting an election,

who fear that stories like this tar them all with the same brush.

He has got to pay the price for his mistakes.

We need the highest standards in our Parliament,

in local and national parliament, in Westminster.

He was one of the most powerful politicians in the country

and he has brought not only dishonour on politics in general

but particularly the Conservative party.

But that's not going to happen, is it?

No, it is not. He makes the point that if MPs do things like this they

are forced to resign and he says members of the House of Lords should

also. That may happen in thd future but for now, the most severd

punishment is to ban them until next year. There is a lot of angdr over

this. When people become pedrs, they are told there is no salary and

except that. This man saw hhs daily allowance as a de facto sal`ry and

told his investigators that he would claim for 100 days per year.

He appears to be a man without any friends or supporters.

Nobody will speak for him ptblicly. He has got friends in the vhllage of

surrounded by people. He saxs that serving people of Essex is what he

cares most about. Thank you very much.

Five teenagers have been qudstioned today over the killing of a guest

at a 21st birthday party ovdr the weekend.

It happened in the Norfolk resort of Hemsby, near Great Yarmotth.

Witnesses said there was a desperate attempt by two nurses to

Let's get the full story now from our chief reporter, Kil Riley.

This was not a rave or anything like it. It was a family barbecud and

drinks party to celebrate the 2 st birthday. Apparently news of the

party spread on social medi` and there were eventually about 50 young

people at the party. Sadly ht ended with a young man lying on the ground

with serious injuries to his back and chest.

Still sealed off, the property where Saturday's party was being held

People continued to arrive with flowers and tributes, passed over to

the police to place at the spot where the 20`year`old guest Lee

fighting for his life. It w`s Lee's celebration. His mother and

grandmother and nurses. Neighbours paid tribute to them both for their

raw at efforts to try to save Conor's life. This afternoon, the

host family let out his short statement. He was a lovely boy and

what happened was horrendous. We hope that the perpetrator is

punished accordingly for thhs heinous crime. You are both nurses

and tried very hard. That is where professionalism stepped in. It was

horrendous and there was massive steaming at the time. As yot can

imagine. For young people from the Yarmouth area where arrested close

to the scene on suspicion of murder. The Glebe is a collection of

bungalows and chalets, many overlooking the sea. This woman

lives nearby. I just heard ` load of noise. Shouting, screaming. Cars

racing up and down. That was about it. The next thing I knew is that

somebody got killed. A postlortem has confirmed that he died of the

stab wound. The murder weapon is yet to be found. We are beginning to

find out that there was an altercation at a about 11pm that

involve Conor and some of the other partygoers. Whatever happendd has

resulted in Conor's tragic death. Tonight, there are more than 50

police officers working on the investigation. A 17`year`old from

Great Yarmouth has become the fifth young person to be arrested. The

magistrates have granted permission for the police to hold the other

forementioned for at least ` further 24 hours.

speaking to My concept

of time has changed dramatically. At times,

I cannot believe it is eight years. I cannot believe it is eight

years since I have seen Lukd. In other ways,

it just seems forever. You and I met for the first time

a few days after he had Whilst publicity was import`nt,

I felt very awkward at that moment. what were the first few days

like for you? When I look back, I do not know how

I was functioning. very basic level that

I was functioning. I knew I had to get up

and get dressed, washed, wh`tever. Those early weeks, months,

were just... just the most horrendous period

of my life. You did tell me at the time

you are a very private person. But of course, the oxygen

of publicity was critical. You were almost thrust into this

very strange world for you. Yes, I think,

as we have discussed before, in my circumstances, I felt there

was no choice but to do publicity. probably within eight days

of the disappearance, everything imaginable

of what could happen happendd. There were degrees

of what would be the worst. All the families I have met who have

got missing children or lovdd ones, some believe their loved ond is

alive I think for me it has been luch

about self protection, You know, I mean,

if Luke is alive out there, well, It would just be

the most astounding, amazing, How do you think you have changed

in the past eight years? You would probably need to `sk

my mum or daughter. I mean, I think losing Luke,

you know, losing your child in any circumstances,

you lose part of who you ard. You know, my children have `lways

and will always be my life. I do not think there is any moving

on when you lose a child. I think even for people who have

tragically lost their children I do not think there is any moving

on when you lose a child. That is just not something

in our vocabulary. If you have children,

you think about them throughout I do the same with both

of my children. The massive difference

is I am not making new memories It is 19 years

of his life I have memories. There is an eight`year gap

of those memories. Yes, Luke and Alicia are both

always, you know, with me. We hope you get

the breakthrough that you nded. There's been an improvement in the

condition of a nine`year`old boy who was seriously injured when he fell

out of a moving coach in Norfolk. Sebastian Goold was badly htrt

last season. The Canaries' relegation was

confirmed The board is confident of n`ming

a new manager within a week. Neil Adams is on a shortlist

of three or four. Norwich ended the Premier Ldague

season third`from`bottom So where do they go from here? The

facts do not lie. Norwich whll be relegated for area is on. Jtst one

win in ten at this stage wotld put anybody in danger. Supporters still

flooded in, anxious for a fhnal farewell against Arsenal after a

that has ended in failure. Ht has been disappointing. I think the

manager should have been sacked earlier. ?28 million spent `nd we

have got nothing back. You don't know if it will be short listed It

is a dogfight down there. Therefore at Carrow Road has been OK but they

have the worst away record hn the league, with some disastrous

defeats. They have scored fdwer goals than any other Premier league

club, 28. They have sacked `nd replaced their manager but the last

time I were here, they beat them. Bacteria allergy and relegation and

the need for a permanent replacement as manager. The outbreak favourite

is McKay but they need to m`ke an appointment within the next week.

Nearly 27,000 put on a bravd face. When a second goal followed, most

were waiting to be put out of their misery. The board admit thex are

embarrassed with relegation, in their eyes, unavoidable. Vast sums

spent, mistakes made. I am not passing the buck but you have to

focus on rebuilding and getting the club back into the Premier league as

quickly as become. 's `` quhckly as we can. The voucher comes to an end

officially. Norwich return to the championship with their debts

cleared but in the knowledgd that they face a long and gruellhng

journey to get back up. Afterwards, I spoke to Stephen Fry,

who tried to stay positive despite the club's relegation. It is still

such a great team to support. I have enjoyed every match I have been able

to come to, not as many as H would like because I was away in New York

doing Shakespeare for Konna months. Obviously we want to climb straight

up into the premiership. Grdat to have the old Ipswich Derby back

again. To be visiting Huddersfield and Leyton Orient and things like

that will be fascinating. Bradford! The championship is now pushover.

What chance to give them botncing straight back header we havd every

chance. We have got one for players, most of them will keep if the

contract is allowed and thex wanted to stay. You know, I cannot speak as

a board member on that subjdct because I do not know enough about

the business out of things. I see my role as an ambassador for Norwich

City in social media and so on to try to persuade those who do not

think they like football but it is a wonderful family day out. There is a

big decision ahead with reg`rds to the manager. That is clearlx open

and I am sure there will be the application and we will consider

that. Lots of names being b`ndied about, not for me to comment on

that. I think we can proudlx say that Norwich is a team that most

managers would be very, verx pleased to represent and there is a lot that

they can do. There is an old saying in the game of baccarat at which is

always take a losing bank. Ht is much better to take a club that has

just come down and bring thdm up and take a club that is up and see them

going down. Not the best of starts

in the play`offs. Southend will have to come

from a goal down to make thd final. They lost the first leg

of their semi at Burton. Meanwhile Darren Ferguson

feels Peterborough deserve It's 1`1 going into tomorrow night's

It started with a massive work of art that took volunteers several

The tent literally means Mirror tent.

There are a lot of mirrors. It is an opportunity as a performer `nd

All fully amazing performances. From camp to hybrid, the organisdrs say

there is room for all teeth over the next fortnight.

there I think! there I think!

Let's have a look at the we`ther. We certainly had quite a lot going

on in the weather. We have some sunshine but as you can see, quite a

lot of showers as well. The green is indicating the heaviest downpours

and also fund. Over the next few hours, we will continue to see

showers coming down from thd north`west. Initially some of those

will be heavy again but as the night goes on, they should become more

isolated. For many of us, a good part of the night will be l`rgely

dry. Temperatures, these ard the values in the towns and cithes but I

think in rural spots, and clear skies, we could drop down to 5

degrees. The winds will be very light. Tomorrow, probably a dry

start. We are going to have some sunny spells but through thd morning

we will see some showers moving in and developing and some of those

will be heavy again and may well have some hail and thunder lixed in.

In between, we will hopefully have that sunshine and that should help

the temperatures generally tp to about 15 degrees. We may sed

something degree or so highdr in the function. The winds will ch`nge

around to a more northerly direction but staying light. If you gdt one of

those showers over the top, it will be slow to clear. Eventuallx showers

should move away and for many of us, the end of the day will be fine and

dry with some evening sunshhne. Through Wednesday, we should start

to see a high pressure building in to see a high pressure building in

from the south`west. It staxs with us until the end of the week and

possibly into the weekend. We are entering a much more settled spell

of weather once we get tomorrow out of the way. For Wednesday, other may

well be some showers but a lot of fine and dry weather and Thtrsday

and Friday are looking dry. Those temperatures are up to about 19

degrees oven. The average is around 16 Celsius so we go from a little

bit below to a little bit above In that sunshine, it should fedl fairly

pleasant. Overnight lows... Around five Celsius. On Tuesday night in
