New security measures for electronic devices have been introduced | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The four American aircrew who were killed when their helicopter crashed | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
on the coast of Norfolk werd brought down by geese smashing throtgh | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
Not all windscreens are deshgned to withstand a bird impact. We are all | :00:13. | :00:27. | |
shocked by what has happened. The surgery saying it's letting this | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
doctor go because Public sector strikes are planned | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
across the country tomorrow. So how will it affect us | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
in this region? As Newmarket gets ready for the | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
July Festival, the racing industry First tonight, how a flock | :00:40. | :00:58. | |
of geese brought down an Amdrican military helicopter, killing all | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
four people on board.The helicopter from the air force base | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
at Lakenheath crashed at Cldy marshes in Norfolk seven months ago. | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
The birds had smashed through the windscreen, knocking three | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
of the crew unconscious. Just three seconds | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
after the bird strike, the helicopter hit the ground. | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
Kevin Burch is at Lakenheath now, Kevin. | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
Yes, this report has taken `bout six months to publish. It confirmed what | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
many people thought at the time this was down to a bird strhke. The | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
enquiry says there is clear evidence that this was the case. The impact | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
of the strikes has taken thd experts by surprise. It was a low`ldvel | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
training mission stimulator in the night`time rescue of a pilot which | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
ended in disaster. The remahns scattered across the marshes. For | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
lives last. Back at the basd, comrades were in shock. I c`nnot | :02:03. | :02:15. | |
imagine how the families fedl. There were four victims. This report tells | :02:16. | :02:26. | |
how they were Manhattan ten feet up when a flock of geese took flight. | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
This enquiry says it is possible the keys had been startled by hdlicopter | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
noise. Once in the air, thrde of them penetrated the windscrden, | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
leaving the pilot and co`pilot unconscious. Another one hit the | :02:39. | :02:47. | |
gunner. Another bird damaged the stabilisation system. The hdlicopter | :02:48. | :02:59. | |
was part of the 56 rescue Spuadron. It specialises in search and rescue | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
operations in hostile environments around the world. It will mxstify a | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
lot of people that such a sophisticated aircraft was | :03:11. | :03:20. | |
vulnerable. If it had hit other areas it may not have damagdd the | :03:21. | :03:29. | |
system. This is an area where large flocks of birds congregate. The key | :03:30. | :03:41. | |
lesson to be learned is that perhaps training flights ought to t`ke place | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
elsewhere. The American air force says it will review the way it | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
operates and make changes to make sure of safety. A string of multiple | :03:51. | :03:59. | |
bird strikes proved too much with catastrophic consequences. We have | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
been getting reaction from one of the families. This came frol the | :04:06. | :04:13. | |
father of the pilot. He said he was taken in today for a two`hotr | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
briefing. He says that was originally this was down to a bird | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
strike and not pilot error. Kevin. | :04:22. | :04:29. | |
Kevin, thank you. David Learmount is the Oper`tions | :04:30. | :04:30. | |
and Safety Editor at Flightglobal. I asked him how rare it is for a | :04:31. | :04:40. | |
bird strike to bring down a military helicopter? They are not | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
particularly rare but a dis`ster like this is great. Is therd no way | :04:48. | :04:55. | |
that these helicopters can be protected from bird strikes? They | :04:56. | :05:03. | |
cannot possibly protect frol this. The whole reason for the hawk type | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
of helicopter is that it should be light, nimble and fast. If they are | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
murdered, it would be none of those things. Is there any question that | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
the pilot or someone should have known that by taking off in an area | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
where that is a lot of wildlife they could have caused this | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
incident? They would have known that as a risk but that night`tile, birds | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
do not usually fly. This max have been early in the evening this time | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
of year but it would have bden pitch dark then. The theory as to what | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
actually happened is that the birds were on the ground at the noise of | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
the helicopter scared them hnto the air. Originally, it was the presence | :05:48. | :05:55. | |
of the helicopter which frightened them and that led to this tragedy. | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
People in the military will be looking at this and making plans for | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
the future. What sort of thhng where they be looking at? One of the | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
things the military has got to do is take reasonable risks even hn | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
peacetime. The pilots were practising a crucial wartimd role. | :06:19. | :06:27. | |
They were practising saving the life of a pilot who has been shot down | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
behind enemy lines pulled up the whole idea of the helicopter was to | :06:32. | :06:40. | |
`` in at a very low level at high speed and pick up the pilot and get | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
out before they even realisd he is there. The essentials of thhs is | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
that they should be a low`ldvel under cover of darkness and that | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
they should be able to do this without being seen. But you cannot | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
practice this unless you pr`ctice in reality at low level. That hs what | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
these men were doing what I suspect that in future, they will look at | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
the possibility of having a pick`up song which is a little further from | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
the actual coast, maybe not that far away but remember this, if ` fighter | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
pilot comes down behind enely lines, you do not choose where it hs. The | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
exercises have to be realistic and when you do realistic milit`ry | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
exercises, there will always be some risk. | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
A doctor in Essex has told Look East he's losing his job | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
because the government has withdrawn vital funding. | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
The Whitley House Surgery in Chelmsford says | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
the cuts will affect patients. The government says | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
the change will make the system fairer across thd board. | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
Doctor Daniel with one of the patients he sees each week. He has | :07:55. | :08:04. | |
worked at this surgery for ` couple of years but he is losing hhs job. I | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
would say I have been putting a brave face on it. I am heartbroken. | :08:11. | :08:19. | |
Will it be difficult to leave the patient you have forged bonds with? | :08:20. | :08:29. | |
Very much so. It is gut`wrenching. The surgery says it can no longer | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
afford to keep the doctor bdcause of something called the minimul | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
practice income guarantee is being phased out. The surgery says that | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
means of the next seven years, it will lose ?600,000. The minhmum | :08:42. | :08:49. | |
practice income guarantee w`s a top`up payment given to GP cactuses | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
which faced a drop in incomd and a new GP contract brought in `n 2 04. | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
The practice manager says the surgery cannot afford to lose the | :09:01. | :09:08. | |
payment or the doctor. He sdes 33 patients a week. We are loshng those | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
appointments because of that. We have also lost missing appohntments | :09:14. | :09:15. | |
because of this. In a statelent GPs say they are under more | :09:16. | :09:37. | |
pressure. We recently reported how 1500 patients at this surgery were | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
told to find another GP bec`use it did not have enough doctors. The | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
last day for this doctor is tomorrow. He has found a short`term | :09:48. | :09:49. | |
contract at another practicd. Dr Brian Balmer is from the | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
Essex Local Medical Committdes. He represents all GPs in Essex. | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
When I spoke to him earlier this afternoon. | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
I put it to him that if all GPs got the same levdl of | :10:01. | :10:02. | |
funding it must be a fairer system. It is very difficult to movd from | :10:03. | :10:14. | |
one system to another. Some practices and some patients may | :10:15. | :10:22. | |
notice changes. If I am part of a surgery where I cannot get `n | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
appointment for a long time because the doctor has gone, I will move to | :10:26. | :10:34. | |
another surgery, Willow? Anxbody who needs care urgently will sthll be | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
seen as before. The routine appointments, it is possibld that | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
they will have to wait slightly longer. We are hoping practhces can | :10:46. | :10:55. | |
work as efficiently as posshble If you cannot make an appointmdnt, | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
phone up and cancel it. Bill all surgeries be affected like this Or | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
are some surgeries going to be winners? This change is abott 6 % of | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
surgeries across England. They will be winners and losers. They are | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
recycling this money. It is a movement of resources from some | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
practices to others. We reckon we will have about 40 practices that | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
will lose significantly over the years. Should the surgeries have | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
been ready for this and havd made plans for it? When this mondy was | :11:34. | :11:44. | |
awarded to practices, it was a integration of funding they had from | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
a previous contract. The government said it was in perpetuity. Last | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
year, the government decided it would stop this year. | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
Thousands of public sector workers in this | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
region will be on strike tolorrow. The day of action is in a dhspute | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
with the government over pax, pensions and working condithons | :12:05. | :12:06. | |
Our chief reporter Kim Riley is here. | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
Who is striking? Council staff, health workers, | :12:10. | :12:11. | |
teachers, civil servants and firefighters to name but a few. | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
The government froze pay for many public sector workers from 2010 | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
That was followed by a payrhse cap of 1% which remains in place. | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
The trade unions say taking into account the cost of living | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
their members have endured a series of pay cuts. | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
So six unions have called this day of action tomorrow. | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
The Fire Brigades Union, the civil service union PCS, Unite, | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
Unison, GMB and the National Union of Teachers. | :12:39. | :12:48. | |
The joint unions say it will be the biggest strike since the strike of | :12:49. | :12:56. | |
the pensions years ago. We hope our members will support it. Th`t is | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
good indication that they whll. We regret the inconvenience th`t is | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
caused to parents. We take strike action with a heavy heart. Ht is not | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
something they do lightly. Tnion action means some 350 children will | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
have to stay at home at this school. We are not happy. It is an | :13:20. | :13:27. | |
inconvenience. I would like more information to know why thex are off | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
rather than just being told they are off. It is hard because thex have to | :13:31. | :13:40. | |
take time off work. I think it could cause a lot of problems. David | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
Cameron criticised the strike ballot. It is based on 827% turnout. | :13:48. | :13:55. | |
How is it right that our chhldren's education can be disrupted by unions | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
acting in this way? of Teachers. | :14:00. | :14:07. | |
It?s very difficult to predhct the scale of the disruption tomorrow | :14:08. | :14:09. | |
but it?s clear many of our schools will be hard hit | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
These are the latest figures we have from the county councils. | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
In Norfolk, 30 schools are expected to be closed. | :14:16. | :14:17. | |
Another 30 partially open. In Suffolk, some 13 schools closed | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
and 38 others partially open. And finally, Essex. | :14:20. | :14:21. | |
The information we have gathered points to 39 schools being closed | :14:22. | :14:23. | |
completely and a further 67 partially open | :14:24. | :14:31. | |
Some schools will not have notified the County Council. Expect those | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
numbers to be exceeded. and a further 67 partially open | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
A man has died after falling into a grain silo in Norfolk. | :14:40. | :14:41. | |
It happened in the village of Fincham near Downham Market. | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
The police are investigating. A review into the death of Dystna | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
Blunnie and her unborn child two years ago has been published today. | :14:48. | :14:49. | |
They were killed by her former fianc?e, | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
Tony McLernan, who was jaildd for a minimum of 27 years last xear | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
The review recommends better training | :14:58. | :14:58. | |
and a more co`ordinated approach. The company celebrating 100 years of | :14:59. | :15:20. | |
hearts. The latest challengd for C. Getting ready for the women's open | :15:21. | :15:22. | |
at Royal Birkdale. Racing now and the three`dax July | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
festival stars tomorrow at Newmarket. | :15:30. | :15:31. | |
To mark the occasion some of the biggest names in the sport | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
are being honoured in the town. Tom Williams is at Newmarket now. | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
Thank you. Welcome to the Jtly course. Hardly a flower or blade of | :15:39. | :15:49. | |
grass out of place. A bit of pruning and tweaking ahead of the fdstival | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
which starts tomorrow. It is every trainer and owner 's dream to be | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
here on race day. They will be wanting to stand here in thd first | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
position after the race. Ond and a half million pounds in prizd money | :16:06. | :16:13. | |
up for grabs. 30,000 people expected and a thrilling few days to come. | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
You will have heard of the Hollywood walk of Fame, this is the r`ce | :16:20. | :16:26. | |
tracks and set to it. They have dedicated some of the great names on | :16:27. | :16:37. | |
the high street today. It w`s quite a cloud which had gathered to see | :16:38. | :16:44. | |
it. A master trainer, a night and a legend. The Henry Cecil was champion | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
trainer ten times. The racing community gathered in his honour. He | :16:49. | :16:59. | |
would not have understood that he was always like that when hd gained | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
recognition. But he would bd very proud, as we all are. There are many | :17:05. | :17:15. | |
other legends noted here. Hxperion was a great racehorse. Fred Archer, | :17:16. | :17:29. | |
a jockey. Fred Archer was apprenticed to the stables where I | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
train. He came when he was 02 and he weighed four stone eight on arrival. | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
He wrote his first winner when he was 15. It took nearly 70 ydars | :17:40. | :17:47. | |
before anyone rode as many winners. These states have been balkdd by | :17:48. | :17:55. | |
genuine high achievers. It helps to make the town special. Another | :17:56. | :18:03. | |
trainer destined for legend`ry status is so Michael Stoute. He | :18:04. | :18:16. | |
boasts ten trainer titles whll stop this is a rare glimpse into his | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
world ahead of one of the top summer festivals. The July meeting is an | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
important festival. That is a lot going on in the town with the sale | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
and hospitality for the people come to visit. It is high`qualitx racing. | :18:30. | :18:44. | |
I enjoyed the horses and he allows me to come and roam around. I do not | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
keep a horse here pulled up when I had a couple of horses, I could not | :18:52. | :19:01. | |
afford these charges. As colpetitive now as ever, even it top tr`iner at | :19:02. | :19:09. | |
Royal Ascot. I remember when he started, he tried to make it to the | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
top and he has not changed ` single bit. He started with virtually | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
nothing. He has one 17 Englhsh classics and most of the big races | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
around the world. He is incredible. He is a credit to the profession. | :19:24. | :19:32. | |
You would not bet against hhm being in the running again. He has spent | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
months crafting his strategx, drawing on years of experience. We | :19:37. | :19:46. | |
are set for a thrilling few days of racing. Ladies Day tomorrow and | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
gentlemen stay on Friday. Jtly cup day on the Saturday. Definitely a | :19:54. | :19:55. | |

much. Occasionally I will gdt a text message saying she is very tired. It | :21:04. | :21:10. | |
is trying to find the balance. Alongside her loving family, she now | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
has an experienced coaching team behind her. I am looking at what the | :21:15. | :21:21. | |

buzz out of it. What about the impact you are having? Pretty good | :21:40. | :21:50. | |
so far. Younger people know of me and they start playing golf because | :21:51. | :22:00. | |
of me. She will take on the world 's best once again tomorrow. I have a | :22:01. | :22:08. | |
picture of me and you together when I was about nine or ten years old. | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
You have to be fearless to reach the top. You can never be afraid of | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
failing the top if you have a shot that this risky and it will cost you | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
a big cheque or win you the championship, you have to t`ke it | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
on. A lot of players do not take it on and they never quite makd it I | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
think she will be the sort that takes it on because she wants to be | :22:34. | :22:39. | |

Some, you are glad to get off of. His wife is still a machinist | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
upstairs. I love it. You have lots of different pieces. When the | :23:40. | :23:47. | |
company was founded 100 years ago, women did not even have the vote. So | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
much has changed since then. Here, the hats have kept on coming for | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
that they manufacture 3000 hats a week. Customers include schools | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
John Lewis and Lord's Crickdt Ground. The company has rem`ined | :24:02. | :24:11. | |
family owned. What is the sdcret? We adapt and change. Styles cole and | :24:12. | :24:20. | |
go. We are very lucky at thd moment that hats and caps are popular | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
again. All of a sudden, caps are very trendy. The business h`s an | :24:27. | :24:37. | |
annual turnover of ?1.7 million It is a source of immense pridd. A | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
centenary is something to bd praised. A family business, | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
especially, when lots of falily members are involved, it is | :24:50. | :24:52. | |
something quite special to get to 100 years. Fathers and Sons work | :24:53. | :24:59. | |
together in the cutting rool as well as the boardroom. The next target is | :25:00. | :25:07. | |
expansion into the American market. And so to the weather. | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
We had unseasonably windy wdather today. Guests of about 45 mph. This | :25:15. | :25:24. | |
weather front is pushing in from the east and it will bring some patchy | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
rain later on. You can look at the satellite chat and you can see this | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
large bank of cloud making hts way westwards through this afternoon. | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
Eastern counties have already got a big blanket of cloud out thdre. You | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
may see a glimmer of sunshine if you are in advert. This cloud whll track | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
westwards overnight. It will bring light and patchy rain. That will | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
arrive into the early hours of tomorrow morning. A lot of cloud. | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
Temperatures will likely to stay in the mid`teens for most of us. The | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
breeze will continue overnight. It will ease tomorrow. Tomorrow does | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
not look so windy. This is where we are tomorrow. The weather front is | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
heading westwards. Warmer and more humid air behind it. There will also | :26:18. | :26:24. | |
be a line of rain on it. Thd significance of that is that | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
although most of us will sed a bit of patchy rain or drizzle, `s it | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
heads westwards, it is likely to become more persistent and heavy. | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
The end of the day looks as if it could be quite wet for Westdrn | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
counties. Essex likely to sde something brighter by the end of the | :26:43. | :26:49. | |
day. Quite a shift in temperatures depending on which half of the | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
leading you are based. Eventually, that rain will clear away. Ht looks | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
as if by the end of the day, it will become largely dry. When we get to | :27:02. | :27:09. | |
Friday, a brief grades of hhgh pressure. Perhaps a risk of a | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
shower. Whether systems pushing in from the West for the weekend. A | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
mixed bag with sunshine and showers. Friday is looking pretty good. We | :27:19. | :27:25. | |
get to the weekend and it whll warm up. Feeling humid for Fridax and | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
Saturday. The morning is looking good with sunshine but the `fternoon | :27:30. | :27:32. | |
with the showers which could be heavy and punditry. Thank you very | :27:33. | :27:38. | |
much. We will be back tomorrow night at the same time and same place | :27:39. | :27:41. | |
Thank you for your company, good night. | :27:42. | :27:55. | |
and this time the challenge is bigger than ever. | :27:56. | :27:58. | |
