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

: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.

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

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

Finally tonight, congratulations to the Olney Headwear company hn Luton

:22:46.:22:49.

which is 100 years old this year. The company specialises in boaters

:22:50.:22:52.

and flat caps and is hoping to start exporting to America.

:22:53.:22:55.

Louise Hubball has been to leet some of the people who work there.

:22:56.:23:03.

It is the last touch of a m`ster hand that counts. Producing the

:23:04.:23:13.

perfect straw boater in Luton in the 1950s. They are still making them in

:23:14.:23:17.

the town. John has worked all his life. He even met his wife here You

:23:18.:23:26.

enjoy it. Sometimes, it does get boring but some jobs are different.

:23:27.:23:32.

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.
