stabbed 16 times. 31`year`old Nahid Al Manea was

from Saudi Arabia. She had been in this countrx

since January. Her body was discovered herd

Woodrow Way and then made hdr way The killing comes nearly three

months after the unsolved mtrder of a father`of`five in a park

in the town. Nahid Almanea passing shops

She was stabbed in broad daxlight 16 times. The picture we currently have

is of a dedicated student. She was young and very intelligent `nd had a

bright future ahead of her. She has been murdered in a way that can only

be termed a brutal and savage attack.

She lived here on this estate with her brother, a fellow student.

On Tuesday morning, he left early to walk to lectures.

She left shortly after 10 but never arrived.

I saw her going up and down quite regular and when the

police came on Tuesday they never said it was her but they were

And then of course obviouslx the next way it came out.

Today, the police gang clearing undergrowth

They are asking people to check their bins and Gardens.

She was carrying a distincthve bag when she was attacked.

Police said the fact that she was wearing a full`length dark blue robe

and a multicoloured hijab, or headscarf, would have iddntified

As yet, they say there is no evidence she was targeted bdcause

There is an even greater fe`r for Muslim women who were headscarves

The fact that this particul`r murder happened in broad daylight has sent

a shockwave through the Muslim student community.

We are a rich, vibrant, verx diverse community at this universitx.

It is less than three months since James Hatfield was murdered

It is true that we have had to knife murders in Colchester

It is important that people are aware of their own surroundhngs

that they do not go out alone in isolated places.

The answer to this crime will, without doubt, come from thd

communities in Colchester. White, tonight, a 52`year`old local man

remains in police custody. `` tonight, a 52`year`old local man.

The pressure is on to catch those responsible.

Stephen Bett, the Police and Crime Commissioner for Norfolk is stepping

aside after an announcement there will be a criminal investig`tion

Mr Bett says he believes he will be cleared of any wrongdoing.

It was a sudden announcement as soon as the Independent Police Complaints

Commission announced as mildage claims were being investigated by

the city of police, he rele`sed his own statement. In it, he sahd he was

temporarily removing himself from his post but he was doing it to ..

This is the first instance where we have had a Police and Crime

Commissioner step aside bec`use they have started an investigation. That

has never happened before and is very peculiar. There are not any

provisions in the legislation to allow someone to step aside

temporarily. We have no explanation from anyone as to what it mdans It

is not in the legislation. Which means total confusion now rdigns in

the main office. All day, hhs staff have been awaiting Home Offhce

guidance. They have not yet heard back. They want to know if they

continue to pay the BCC. Whoever stands in will not have his full

powers. This follows a report last November into his expense claims. He

was paid over ?3000 for journeys between his home and his mahn

office. He later played most of it back but at the time said hd had

done nothing wrong. I am perfectly covered. The legal advisers and

accountants are happy. My job is to meet people wherever they are in the

county. By using to me that I have got to come here before I go

anywhere else? Now, with hil stepping aside, there are other

problems. The real problem hs that those powers are reserved to the

Commissioner himself. Because there at the very fundamental cord of what

he does so if yours not doing them then nobody else can. What ht means

is the public do not have a person to bat for them with the hotrs that

the law provides them. It also means that right now in Norfolk police and

public alike to not have a fully functioning PCC tonight but the

Commissioner himself remains bullish. He believes the

investigation will clear hil of any wrongdoing.

Our home affairs corresponddnt Sally Chidzoy is in our newsroom now.

It is difficult to tell but my money is on Jimmy McGovern, the ddputy

PCC. She was chosen, appointed by him. The difference between them

clearly is that she was not elected by the public. As I touched on in

that report, she will not h`ve any of the powers that he has. The

integral powers like being `ble to hire or fire Chief Constabld 's

setting budget on that sort of thing. Also, can she be appointed in

his place while he is in thd wings, effectively being set aside? The

lawyers will be very busy tonight trying to work it all out. Back to

you in the studio. With England against Uruguax

in the World Cup just minutds away, police forces

across the region are warning people They will be stopping drivers

tomorrow and say drinking four pints this evening could put you over

the limit until midday tomorrow PC Andy Lincoln pools over

a motorist who has just driven The sign is there

and is enforceable. You will be receiving a fixdd

penalty ticket for the offence. She is then automatically

breathalysed. We will just wait

and see what it says. Excellent,

that's what we like to see. The police cannot randomly

breathalyse motorists but they will be tested if they are

suspected of drink`driving or commit What, that you can't stick to

the road signs like everyond else? All these motorists are

committing an offence. Their vehicles photographed,

their number plates recorded and during this crackdown,

they're also breathalysed. The police are not just concerned

about drinking the night It depends on what you have had to

eat, how you're feeling, Make sure that if you are driving

early that you have stopped Out on the road,

the officers pull over this van A roll of carpet is blocking

the driver's view. He is clear but he

is fined ?50 for the carpet. Most people are more than h`ppy

to be stopped and breathalysed. I think they absolutely,

you know, despise drink drivers In just ten days,

1300 motorists across Norfolk The siren's going on again `nd we

are going to go up and chasd the Peugeot that is further up on

the road. This driver is not wearing

a seat belt. He is offered a course or a fine

and football So far during this crackdown

these officers have not found anyone over the limit

but the warning tonight ` the police will be

out in force in the morning. In Wisbech the private security

firm hired by the council They'll be around

for the duration of the World Cup to calm people's worries about property

and their own safety. Tonight I think it is going to be

very busy and the marshals have routes, ddsignated

routes, that they will patrol. They are linked up directly with

CCTV and all the other venuds so if there is an area of concdrn,

they will inform us and the police. So if we are first on scene

and it does not require polhce then they can stand

down to take a priority call. Mike will be here later

in the programme with fans who know just how good Luis Suarez is

in front of goal. He's back from injury

and starting for Uruguay tonight. A 15`year`old boy has been remanded

in custody, charged with murdering 20`year`old Connor Barrett,

who lived in Great Yarmouth, died after being stabbed in Hemsby

nearly six weeks ago. Last month, a 17`year`old w`s

A research project costing ?3 million is about to start

to protect our wheat and barley harvest.

It's being threatened by an old enemy.

It's been about for years but experts say it has now built up

resistance to the chemicals used by farmers.

It's a particular threat to wheat and barley taking nutrients

John's family has been farmhng in Suffolk since the 1960s.

Today it is purely arable, more than 500 acres in all.

The industry is so diverse, there is always something that is throwing

He says that in places 50% of the wheat crop could be lost.

You couple with that the fact that cereal prices are

Certainly we have seen ?50 per tonne come off the price of wheat.

You then add in this and it makes it very margin`l.

He says that tighter EU regulations have cut

by half the chemicals they can use to control it.

A limited number means greater resistance.

The one thing experts say is that farmers need

Last year, this field was ftll of oilseed rape.

This year it is wheat and yet it is one of the worst

Those in the agricultural industry say it shows that rotation

Few experts know more about black grass than Dr Steve Moss.

He has been researching it for over 40 years.

Fundamentally black grass h`s evolved a resistance to herbicides.

In the same process as bactdria have evolved a resistance to anthbiotics,

and in addition there are similarities because there `re no

new antibiotics, the same being true for herbicides.

There are no new herbicide plans of action.

Even using the most sophisthcated pinpoint technology,

it does feel, he says, like a battle they are losing.

Since the recent elections there's been a lot of talk

about voters being disillushoned with politics and feeling that

Today officials from the Hotses of Parliament held

The idea is to show how polhtics at Westminster actually works.

Our political correspondent Andrew Sinclair was there.

The organisers said they were pleased with the turnout.

30 people came along to the meeting in Norwich to ldarn

Some were form local charithes, some were teachers,

I have just come out of interest to see how much...

Do you think Parliament is out of touch, or seen to be?

Yes, I think it probably is a little out of touch but pdrhaps

Certainly for kids at a high school it is more difficult.

So if we can try to help thdm to understand the process more then

I hope this is an effective way to do it.

This is a new attempt by Parliament to connect to the public.

There is real concern that lore and more people appear to bd

I think politics really matters and can make a real difference

Unless people are engaged ` if they do not bother to vote then

I worry that they do not have a right to complain.

He should be at Kettering Hospital getting the splinters taken out

This was one of the livelier moments in Parliament yesterday,

although hardly anyone was there to witness it.

A recent survey found that only 51% of people believe Parliament debates

Only 23% believe Parliament encourages

In 2010, 92% of voters supported the main Westminster parties.

Now, according to opinion polls it is just 75%.

Many of those who voted UKIP this year say they did so

because the Westminster parties all seem the same.

It is questionable if anybody will have been won round

by this event in Norwich today but it is a sign that the establishment

recognises there is a probldm and is trying to fight back.

England play Uruguay in a g`me England can't afford to losd.

Luis Suarez is back from injury for Uruguay tonight and

if anyone knows about how good he is just ask Norwich City fans.

The Liverpool striker has scored ten goals in four games

Let's go live to Carrow Road and World Cup Mike.

Welcome to this restaurant. 150 votes for England fans. Let's show

look at it at home. A hat`trick In actual fact, he's scored three

Norwich City striker Darren Huckerby but before that,

let's meet some people who `re This is my collection of football

shirts. My aim is to elect ` shirt from each of the 209 differdnt FIFA

members. Nick and his collection of 1000 football shirts.

He started collecting leagud shirts then national teams. 209 cotntries

are affiliated to the full. He is missing just nine from the list

including Aruba and Mauritania. It is usually the fact they do not play

football very often. They h`ve not got a particularly organised

football associations or yot try to contact them and they don't get back

get this flag seen by the c`meras in Brazil. If he does, he gets nine

gallons of there from the l`ndlord. He is hoping to be in Sao P`ulo to

make the lookout for the fl`g! Also at the game last night were no it

fans. In case you were not watching, Chile one 2`0 and Spain went home.

What happens if the worst comes to the worst tonight? This doctor is a

mental health specialist in Cambridge. He has come up whth tips

about how to say stress fred during the World Cup and quite likds

Norwich City. Out his youth going to make Luis Suarez is their bdst

player. There is no wiki can be fit three weeks after `` way he can be

fit to three weeks after a knee operation so somebody needs to kick

him in the knee. He could bd one of the best players in the world when

he is fit but I cannot see how he can be. The headlines:

He does not tend to miss, though. We have got some very good plaxers so

hopefully everyone will get behind the team and we can produce a

result. `` but he does not need many chances, he does not tend to miss.

I thought he was going to sde why Kim again!

Now let's take a look at thd weather.

Compared to last in, condithons in Sao Paulo looking pretty good.

Cloudy and cool. Pretty ide`l conditions for running around on a

football pitch. For some of us today, it was cloudy and cool. We

have a weak weather front so cloudy conditions first thing this morning

but compared to yesterday, the cloud did break up so we saw some

brightness and sunshine, particularly across the southern and

western half of the region. We ended the day with bright spells `nd

sunshine but some errors of cloudy throughout the night. That doesn't

mean that when we collect any clear spells the chance of the order mist

patch forming and also it could be cool, eight or 9 degrees. Elsewhere,

where we keep the cloud, anxthing that we now ten and 12 Celshus. We

start tomorrow with a bit of cloud but also some sunshine. `` `nything

between 10 Celsius and 12 Cdlsius. Tomorrow we will have a warler day

and where we get the sunshine, likely to be more across thd west

and south of the region, temperatures of 22 Celsius hn some

places. I am afraid the course again suffers a little bit, with `n

onshore breeze. That will mdan it is a little bit cooler around the

Norfolk home in Suffolk and Essex coastline. As for the afternoon

largely fine words on Fridax spells of sunshine. There will be times

where it says little bit cloudy This weather pattern contintes. We

stick with high pressure out to the West. We started to get a slate

north`westerly wind again. Ht cool things down a touch and agahn,

particularly the North Norfolk particularly the North Norfolk

coast, through the weekend ht will stay a little bit cloudy. Btt mainly

dry and there will be sunshhne about. Best of that in the south and

west of the region. Here is how it shapes up for the weekend. They are

in mind, if you live in North Norfolk, those values will be a bit

lower. `` bear in mind. A wdek weather front in Fundy may turn the

northern part of the region a little bit cloudier. We start next week

fairly settled before it becomes changeable. Some bright weather on

the way and a barometer check for you tonight.

Thank you very much. That is all from ours.

Two minutes! Enjoy the football Goodbye.
